Need Advice / Opinions! Embarking on Candida Treatment...

Hi All!

(Sorry for the "book", and my CAPS aren't meant to yell, just are done for emphasis.)

I'm in need of some good advice. I've been struggling with Candida symptoms for probably 10-15 years now (beginning w/ ENT infections and Mono in adolescence), and FINALLY tested with mass quantities of yeast in my stool so NOW my M.D./N.D. here in Orlando prescribed me Nystatin.

I've got: Liver Ache, Adrenal Fatigue, Slight Blood Sugar Issues, Brain Chemical Imbalance (Low Serotonin), Chemical Sensitivity, Anxiety / Panic Attacks, Migraines (seem hormonal, but just have slight estrogen dominance), and Gastritis.

I want to start the diet again GRADUALLY, as I know about DIE OFF before I begin taking Nystatin. I'm going to follow a cross between Jeanne Marie Martin's "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" and the BED.

I would so appreciate any SPECIFIC advice from you all on the following:

1. The "debate" with including ACV in diet: I only use Bragg's right now.
2. Best FIBER supplement to take and / or FIBER game plan so that I don't get backed up when expelling toxins.
3. Will I PHYSICALLY SEE the yeast LEAVING MY BODY in the all lovely toilet?
4. How can avoid FURTHER BURDEN on my already taxed LIVER, so as not to get REALLY SICK?
5. I prefer a Vegetarian diet--meat CONSTIPATES ME, but am so confused as to the conflicting info concerning BEANS...any advice?
6. Should I AlTERNATE Nystatin with say, Caprylic Acid, so that the yeast do not get accustomed to one?

And, I've got a kind of screwy question for you all to ponder and maybe have some ideas...

I've had migraines for 12 years (as the years progressed I weeded out food sensitivities and realized they were pretty much running with my monthly cycle). About two years ago, I saw a holistic gyno who prescribed me oral bio-identical progesterone for my (then more pronounced) estrogen dominance. A couple weeks into taking it, I noticed that I SMELLED SMOKE when no one else did! This would go on for a few days and then I would get a migraine, and it would go away. I immediately stopped the progesterone, thinking it was connected. Well, it has NOW gone on for some time, and seems to happen--of all times--RIGHT AFTER I BRUSH MY TEETH! (It does not matter if I use "conventional" or "all-natural" toothpaste either, as I've tried to see any difference.) It drives me nuts! Also, as I am seeing an acpuncturist for the migraines (and my damp spleen--from the yeast), whenever she puts the needle between my eyes (the SINUS acupoint), I will get the same SMOKE smell afterwards.

Has anyone heard of a wacky olfactory aura like this? Could this SMOKE SMELL that no one else smells be related to YEAST? And no, I do not have a brain tumor (everyone says brain tumor when they hear "olfactory aura". I had a CAT scan for an unrelated matter 6 months ago and was all clear.)

Any help / advice / opinions are greatly appreciated! =)
