Hi Dave. Thanks for sharing your story. Oh wow, can I relate. Sounds like you have leaky gut syndrome, have you ever tryed some probiotics for this? Please check out the Candida Forum and you may find some help there. Take good care. I have suffered with this very same thing after I took a round of Antibiotics for a gum infection. I nearly died and did the same thing going to a natural doc, but it was getting so expensive. Best of luck and try doing some research on candida. Please let me know if I can be of any help.
