When will I get Die off...or isn't it Candida I have?

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help me?

My Doctor diognosed me with Candida four weeks ago for many reasons (-headaches, spots, bloating, fatigue, excessive thirst, Kidney pain, dry blood shot eyes, to name but a few). Although, he did say it is a process of elimination as he couldn't be sure it was Candida.

I am now taking daily - anti-fungal tablets, cocunut oil, Magnesium, Chronium, B50 Complex, Acidophilus and Multivitimins.

I am also 8 days into a 'anti-parsite' treatment (Black Walnut Hull, Cloves and Wormwood ), with 8 days to go, although this was self diagnosed.

My Doctor sent me to a 'Food and Diet Intolerance adviser' who told me to cut out Lemons and Tomatoes as I had become intolerant to them and gave me Australian Bush Remedy -Women Essense, for my Thyroid problem (loss of hair, breaking nails etc).

Obviously, I have also cut out Dairy, Yeast and all sugars for the Candida.

Four weeks in and the only difference I have seen is:
- outbreak of spots on my chin and jaw line (every four days ish and take four days to clear)
- Folliculitis on my thighs (little red spots)
- Constipation on and off (drinking LOADS of water)
- BLOATED to an extreme! My partner keeps asking me if I'm SURE I'm not pregnant!I'm not.
- Gassy
- Inability to concentrate (this has got worse than before)
- Anus/eyes/nose no longer itchy (just in the last 7 days)
- Fewer headaches :)
- Bit more energy -ish (well it hasn't got worse)

Does this sound like die off? Only I have read other people's experience of Die Off and it sounds far more drastic.

My 'Food and Diet intolerance adviser' seemed to think that if I stuck to the diet, I would get rid of Candida in two months (not sure how realistic this is?) but I just can't see it with only a month to go. My doctor said three months but then he said I didn't need to cut anything out of my diet, he seemed to think the Anti-fungals would do their job regardless.

I have only cheated once, out for birthday and had four Gin and slimline Tonics, which went straight to my head, and relaxed me enough to order an English breakfast at a late night restaurant! naughty. Thing is, I didn't feel any worse in the morning and this is making me question whether or not it is Candida as I have read how people can suffer terribly if they fall off the wagon.

I have now bought OxCgen (mix of Magnesium, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium and Bioflavonoid complex) to flush my bowel, then plan to do a kidney & Liver cleanse.

Thank you for reading this far! Any thoughts?
