Re: Disgusted, and wasting away
Hi. I'm so sorry you're suffering like this. Gosh I cannot imagine nursing a child with candida. HOw in earth do you manage?
I really can't offer any magic recipe for getting well. I wish someone could. This is a debilitating condition that just doesn't go away easily. After many years I still have symptoms although much reduced, from time to time. I never saw any improvement for years. It's been only in the last year and a half.
I hate to sound insensitive in any way, but I don't understand why some people expect to do a quick stint on the candida diet, and make a few changes and expect to fully and quickly recover. This may be possible if you only have a mild health problem but this candida is a real b*$@%$d to recover from...especially if you've been ill for a long time.
No, I wouldn't recommend seeing a doctor either. I've sworn them off a long time ago. They are disease managers and that's all.
Hang in there. You sound like you need some building up, nutrition wise. Do you have a juicer? How about making some homemade soups? Try your best to stick to the diet strictly. NO grocery store yogurt. I never tolerated any yogurts. They just made my tongue white too. Try your best to work on your digestion so the yeast doesn't have much to work on ( raw sauerkraut has worked MIRACLES for me in that regard ). When you get a better handle on the candida, you can concentrate on the leaky gut :-)
