I HATE coconut oil.
Ok, I have been using this stuff, organic virgin coconut oil and i mean the best kind. I love the taste of it, but everytime I use this stuff I get ill. It is not the kind of ill I get from die off.
I am on a candida diet, but incorporating coconut oil seems to ruin everything. Normally with die off, I get the typical herx reactions I know so well, which always make me feel like I am getting somewhere (further). But coconut oil never feels that way, even though people continue to tell me "keep taking it, it's just die off".
This is what happens when I use it. I get further fatigue, further gut problems, and feel like I am regressing, rather than 'retracing" or die off. I cannot understand this, because other antifungal stuff causes either improvement or die off feelings. Like headache, and a feeling I just know is die off.
Why is it I don't get that with coconut oil? Why also do I find I crave coconut oil badly? As though it's a sugar? This is confusing me. I basically regress when I use it, I feel unwell, aggitated and almost suicidal. All my candida issues seem to be worse, but not in the way you feel when they are actually getting better.
If this is die off? Then it is a completely different die off than any other antifungal I have ever used. one that feels like I am eating sugar, rather than herxing.
Can anybody explain this??? I know one guy that has been using it with the candida diet for a year and he has not been able to make ANY progress, he said he feels as though he's getting nowhere and since I started coconut oil, I feel the same way and I am scared that I'll go down the same road. He keeps being told it's just die off, so the guy keeps using it. I am starting to wonder if there is something wrong with this stuff???
Perhaps it is die off and it's just not something I'm aware of. It does not give headaches or any type of symptom I get with herxing. Its just disgusting like the candida growing. A feeling of going nowhere, and just feeling like I'm indulging in sugar. I am scared now to use the stuff, yet it's supposedly an excellent thing to have in ones diet and for healing candida.
Please can someone explain this??? because I am going to stop using it from now on and if I improve or herx without it, and start it again and regress, I will probably never use it again.
Thanks for reading this. Any advie would be helpful.
