GI/Malaborption Problems & Vit. Deficiencies Caused By Candida, Endolimax nana & Other Parasite
Hello to all:
I just wanted to share my story with everyone after coming across TrickTheFox's/Ren's posting on this site because Ren's symptoms sound just like mine! I've had problems w/ gastritis, reflux esophagitis, colitis, and deficiencies in Iron (anemia), Calcium, Vitamins (B6 and B12), Vitamin D and calcium. Also, I've experienced brain fog, dizziness, nausea, frequent belching, upper abdominal discomfort, weight loss and malabsorption. Luckily, I have not had problems with constipation or diarrhea. All of this has brought on a lot of anxiety and
Depression because it's been like a slow form of emotional trauma. I've been experiencing these symptoms since 2009.
I have also gone through all the GI testing - which showed the reflux, gastritis and colitis. And, I've spent a fortune on alternative practices (acupuncture, reiki, herbs, etc.). Some folks in here may remember some of my postings from 2009 and 2010.
Recently, I've had a second Metametrix Comprehensive Stool Test done (after 2 years). It revealed that I have:
1. Candida (at +4 levels)
2. Endolimax nana parasite
3. Unidentifiable parasite
All this started after I took 2 rounds of
Antibiotics (Cipro & Macrobid) mixed with an antacid for at least one month. Around that time, I had accidently swallowed indoor pool water at a hotel.
My integrative medical doctor (yes, he's a new one) put me on:
1. Liquid Multivitamins
2. Iron/Blood Builder Supplement
3. Vitamin D Supplement
4. Vitamin B-12 (Sublingual) Supplement
5. Probiotic powder
6. Oil of Oregano (to remove Candida & parasites)
7. Strict diet with NO SUGAR
8. Bragg's Apple cider vinegar 2 Tbspns mixed with my drinking water
I've been following this new protocol for the last week and a half. So far, I'm feeling slightly better. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being great), I'm at a 6. I used to be at a 3.
I know that healing doesn't often happen overnight, so I'm waiting patiently to see how close I can get to a 10. I, too, just wanted to share my story with others who may relate to what I've been going through. And, perhaps update those whom I might've corresponded with a while back.
Feel free to share your thoughts with me if you'd like! Take care!
Light & love,
Alegre
