I am new to this website, but just made an account so I coukd reply to this. I know you posted this 8 years ago, but I am going through the same problems you went through and have a lot of questions for you. Both of candida and spiritually. God actually answered a prayer/fast I went on by telling me I had candida. This was after I spent 7 years going to doctors constantly trying to see why I wasn't myself at all. I have been on the diet for a couple months and have seen improvement, though I think I am experiencing die off symptoms. I am now focus on Christ and he is doing wonders in my life. One of the wonders beeing seeing this encouraging post! Now that I am choosing to use energy and focus to glorify him, he is giving me more of it slowly but surly.
