Re: stannarad ...

Hi Stanna,

I'm so happy to hear your hubby got a new job and now you'll be able to at least TRY to find a "specialist" haha. What do we call them? Acupuncturist? No, that's not it. Chiropractor? No, not hardly. Candida specialist? Do they really cover leaky gut and/or diverticulitis? How about traditional chinese medicine? Well, maybe. What's the word in Chinese for "Candida?" Yikes. Is there one? Too bad Dave the teacher from Taiwan isn't around. Maybe he could advise you about TCM. Wonder if he's seen some improvement.

I don't envy you. At least most of us here can pinpoint our troubles and say we have candida. Where or what sort of practitioner do you think you'll look for?

BTW does anyone know the difference between IBS and candidiasis? I've always thought that IBS is just medical schmooze for "candida overgrowth." No wonder they call it *I BS*. How on earth can the two be any different?

Anyway, Stanna. Your part of FL sounds like here in sunny SoCal. We have roses, pansies, bird of paradise, the cacti are starting to flower and a few others and some sort of flowering white tree. Next month the flowering cherry trees do their thing and the buds on regular trees start soon too. They do much to soothe the soul, and the birds too, don't they?

Take care and keep us posted when you find a health partner to help you. We'll be most interested to know what you find out. obj
