no questions are dumb - especially when it comes to this crazy disorder!! i appreciate all of the responses, whatever they may be. i actually never thought about the sleep thing but it is an interesting thought! i guess it could be possible that the toxins are flowing to one side more because of that. i think i do sleep on my right side most of the time too. i always thought that maybe somehow my right side of my intestines could be weaker than the left for some reason, leaking food and toxins on that side more or something. or i thought maybe some type of vitamin deficiency could be causing one sided symptoms. maybe it just attacks wherever you are are the weakest and for some reason maybe my right side of my body is weaker than the left. i did have a hip xray before i knew what was wrong with me (one of many many tests i might add) and there was a calcification on that hip. maybe that is why i get more pain there. who knows?! but i would love to hear others thoughts on this and any others who have the one sided thing.
the guy at the health food store told me that it is because i am in some type of leadership role at work or in life. i definitely am having a lot more faith in the holistic approach to life and diet (i think candida opens everyones eyes up to natural healing) but i thought that his idea was pretty strange and far fetched! he is a bit of nut case sometimes but good to talk to about the candida non the less : )
