Re: Found My Cure!

Actually, I started feeling some results with my first mouthful, if you can believe that. I had eaten a bunch of Sugar to get out of a low blood Sugar reaction (I am type 1 diabetic) and at the end of that day my stomach was all bloaty and gassy - I knew I had caused a candida flare with all that sugar. I tried the veggies, and there was this sort of calming feeling, quickly followed by a feeling like a fight had broken out in my gut - like a big battle between the candida and the probiotics. A few hours later my tummy was almost flat again. Since then, I have gone from going around in circles with the candida just feeling crappy all the time to having fairly steady progress. I get bursts of wellness now where I will feel normal and full of energy for several hours at a time. In fact, 2 nights ago, I had so much energy I could hardly stand it and went for a good long walk after work. I swear, it has been 8 years since I have felt like going for a walk, let alone after working all day, and it used to be my favorite thing. And the rest of the time I don't feel nearly as sick and depleted as I used to. After having done the candida dance for 4.75 years now, this is amazing to me. I have only been eating the veggies for about 5 weeks now. I have read posts on the Candida Forum here and over on Healthy Awareness of folks who were just so so so bad off - way worse than me and I was baaaad, got their life back through these veggies. I figured, if it helped the worst of the worst, maybe it can help me. I just wish I had tried sooner.

Thanks for the info on that probiotic. I will look into it. Right now I am playing around with kombucha, another great probie source.
