Candida/Parasites and Detox, I need opinions and advice!
First timer here! This post is about candida, parasites, and my health issues that I believe stem from candida or both.. I have some questions and need advice, since I REFUSE to address this to a doctor. It seems every doctor visit I have ever had for all my symptoms probably only made my problems worse. Its a long health history, but felt its needed, please take time to read!! (excuse the dry humor and sarcasm).
*le' sighhhh*
Okay, here it goes. I am a 24yr/F and at the age of 15 I got acne right when I hit puberty, fairly normal right? Well, my town at the time just got a new dermatologist, (the only one in the area) and he prescribed me doxycycline or something of the sort to take EVERYDAY for 3 months until I decided to go off of it. He ended up getting ran out of town cause he sucks, obviously.. Well I never knew about probiotics or anything at the time so there I was, exposed. Not 1 year later I began to vomit randomly at least once every 2 weeks, more or less depending. I spent 8 years with vomiting and a shitty stomach, till last yr I decided to go gluten free as it relieved me of random vomiting bouts and everyday all the time chronic diarrhea, in my eyes, I was cured! I still continue to have acne throughout as well as some chicken skin on the backs of my arms. Well, I'm starting to think all my doctors were BS (pardon my frustration).
Due to my chronic vomiting, abdominal pain, failure to gain weight, and chronic diarrhea I had to do something.. I went to multiple doctors and specialists and over the years this is what ive been told(it was always something diff). Ulcers (antibiotics), Bad gallbladder (cholecytectomy, awesome...I know.), multiple drugs to improve digestion, assumed I had anorexia, and of course; it's "all in my head". blah blah blah... The list goes on. Currently, I am not underweight(although I have been before), and its impossible to gain weight I have always been the smallest person compared to everyone else, vaginal yeast infections yearly, and I still have acne/rashes. In addition my mental health sucks and includes anxiety (doom), depression, PTSD.
So now this is where I have questions. I began a liver detox, because once and for all I wanted to cure my acne. I reduced my sugar intake by at least 90% (it was bad), and I began to eat more fruits and veggies. I also added milk thistle, ACV, and dandelion root. I also drank way more water! Its been 2 or 3 weeks since I began eating to support my liver.
After researching the internet on liver detox, I learned that I might actually have candida, as everything seems to fit (leaky gut symptoms anyone?). Yesterday I thought I would try a coffee enema, and was nervous. Nothing significant happened and I was disappointed. But that changed this morning, I did another one and used a little more fluid. What came out was surprising, and I am still having to go to the bathroom every 30 minutes to clear out. I was expecting if it was gonna be anything it would be white thready yeast I have been hearing about. But, what I saw was black/brownish spotty kind of thready stuff (link to picture at the bottom). The first evacuation was a little more black and I didn't get a picture of it. I was worried because it didn't look like what I thought it would, and I cant find anything that looks like it except for liver flukes.. especially the flush before the one in the photo. What is your opinion? Is it something to be concerned about? I appreciate advice and opinions, as well as your personal experience in anything that pertains to anything above.
