Re: digestion and die off - NEED HELP!

i tried dig enzymes and they didn't really help. trust me there is nothing wrong with my organs. i had ct scans, mri's, ultrasounds, bloodwork, you name it, i had it, and i will not put myself through anymore medical testing. it is pointless.

and spicy foods are not what gave me leaky gut. a year and a half of Antibiotics is what caused all of this for me. i could eat plenty of spicy foods pre-candida no problem and no irritation. lately i have been eating a lot of them though and i think it is irritating things. i think almost all of us have leaky gut or a sensitive lining, or irritable bowel, because if we didn't we wouldn't have all the food allergies . it is not just the toxins, it is food allergies and i believe they will go away when the gut has time to heal. i know now that there will be no more spicy foods for me at all.

the right sided thing is just my weird thing. i could never get any explanation for it, but most of my symptoms are on the right side of my body only. i struggled with that all last year and was really freaked out by it but it doesn't bother me or scare me anymore. i have asked questions about it and there are others out there that have stronger symptoms on one side of the body as well so it isn't just me.

i always get some weird diagnoses on here and that is why i stay away - some tell me they think i have diabetes, some lupus, etc etc etc but i just ignore that stuff and don't let it stress me out anymore. that is part of the reasons i stay away from the boards...people come up with these crazy ideas that get people all in a tizzy and freaked out and that is the last thing all of is need is more stress. i don't think anything is seriously wrong with me or i already would've landed myself in the hospital. i am continuing to improve, slowly but surely. i will be fine when i rid myself of the candida and i am confident all the other stuff will go away.

as for the boards, yes i have learned a lot and i am very thankful for it. but i now feel like i have a very solid background of the candida and how to treat it so i don't need to ask as many questions anymore. and everyone seems to have conflicting responses to others so i try not to get too wrapped up in all that either. i pop in from time to time and read and catch up and post a few things when i see fit. but for the most part i need to have a life outside of this candida thing or else i find myself falling into a depression. maybe others can post all day long and find time for other things, but i cannot - i see what it does to my mental state and i don't like it. so just cause you don't see me too much on here doesn't mean i am not ok...i actually am feeling more positive about this thing than i have since it all started.

so no worries objoyfl - i am doing great!
