Re: HELP! How do I recognize candida?

How are you doing? Did you figure out what it was and did you try out the diet? I myself realize I have candida from Antibiotics as well. Guh. I had two ovarian cysts, which they thought was an ovarian infection first. So Antibiotics for that, failed three courses for about 2 months. and then a surgery to remove the cysts. more Antibiotics during and after the surgery. and then a bacterial infection/pelvic inflamatory infection (again it was only a theory), more antibiotics. Now as a result i feel like crap. for the last two months i have been bloating so badly i don't even want to start. CT scans, ultrasounds... they showed nothing! they only made me feel like i've gone mental. went to the health farmacy and now i am doing a detox together with a bowel cleanse, but it hasn't gotten better. finally figured i've been eating a lot more carbs and sweet and that stuff and being in denial about it. i would rationalize it--"low carb diet and all that is not good for me. i need to have a balanced diet, more grains, more fiber. forget these stupid diets, i need to learn how to eat everything in small amounts." yeah rrrrright... next thing i find myself chewing an oatmeal raisin cookie. like for example tonight--i went to the store and something kind of clicks inside me and i decide to have veggies and mushrooms for dinner, with rye bread. cooked and ate all that stuff. all very healthy--mushrooms, wholegrain bread, fruits on top of all that. can't tell you how terrible i feel now. anyway, hope you are doing well and getting rid of that stuff. good luck! and keep us updated!
