I don't know how to handle Candidiasis, but I'm familiar with "Adrenal Fatigue". Your diet sounds good for AF.

Your naturopath sounds like they gave good recommendations for AF, too:

She got me on glutathione, milk thistle, vitamin c, stress b complex, iron, and st john's wort.

Note that St. John's Wort works in part by being a serotonin re-uptake inhibitor. This means that if you're increasing your serotonin through any means, like using 5-HTP, you could easily overdo it and end up with serotonin syndrome. This is very bad for people with AF.

Also, your bad living situation is most likely not helping. You really do have to reduce the stress in your life, otherwise it's an uphill battle at best.

I've found that lysine helps me with anxiety. You might try adding that.

For improved digestion, I recommend digestive enzymes. I took Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes for a long time to good effect. My digestion just works these days, though.

For supporting the adrenals, I've been having good luck with licorice, but I've had to be careful about the dosage. I'm taking 900mg licorice root every other night with dinner and it still sometimes gives me mild headaches (the following morning). Licorice may help ease the stress on the adrenal glands during cortisol shunt (picture from Dr. Lam's website), enabling other important hormones to get produced instead of forsaken.
