I definitely think that copper-zinc imbalance can contribute to adrenal fatigue. Like you my problems started when I began a strict vegetarian diet consisting of gluten-free grains, vegetables, beans and fruits - a nutritionist’s dream right? Well, apparently not. My health has been rubbish ever since. So anyway, I’m now experimenting with more fat and protein in my diet (ie. meat, fish, eggs and dairy, which I ate very sparingly or not at all before) which incidentally are higher in zinc, which theoretically should help redress the copper-zinc balance - and so far, so good. Perhaps adrena ...

YES. That’s why people trying to kill off/starve candida with antifungals and an impossibly strict diet are getting nowhere.   [End]

Hi Kim, Sorry you’re not feeling well. I’m 19, so not much older than you, and I believe I have (moderate) adrenal fatigue too - based on my symptoms and history. Although I’m not cured of it (it’s not something you can instantly heal), I’m a lot better than I was a few months ago, so I can give you some advice based on what I’ve learnt: - Try to have consistent sleeping habits. I’ve found this to be really important, because the quality and duration of my sleep determines whether I can get through the day or not. I try to be in bed by 10pm every night and sleep until 7.30am at least ...

The solution you suggested is a physical one, as if sleep paralysis is a purely physical problem. Personally I think it is a spiritual one. To the OP: perhaps your bf is under psychic/demonic attack? And I don’t think you are responsible for it.   [End]

I read that the proteins in candida are very similar to gluten, so perhaps there is a link. I for one can’t touch gluten, and I think that a lot of people would feel better from cutting out of their diet especially if they have candida problems.   [End]

I think when you’ve got a myriad of symptoms as candida/leaky gut people generally do, it’s best to aim to bring the whole digestive system (or even the whole body) back into balance, rather than target just one thing in isolation. The fact that the treatment protocols are the same for both indicates that many of these health problems overlap anyway. Besides, in my experience, candida is actually merely a symptom in itself so perhaps even trying to cure that is missing the big picture.   [End]

Hey, Like you I have recently diagnosed myself with AF, due to my symptoms and history. Before I realised that this was my problem, I did a series of about 10 liver flushes plus colonics and fasting, and wondered why I wasn’t getting much better - in fact I seemed to get worse after some cleanses. I later found out that harsh cleanses like the liver flush, etc. are actually too much for the adrenals to handle, and that’s why I was getting worse. So I advise you not to do extreme cleansing. What I’m doing now is eating a healthy diet (in order of importance: vegetables, whole grains, ...

I have a theory. I’m sure others have talked about this before, and I apologise if I’m preaching to the choir here, but I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately - the possibility that candida overgrowth is not a disease in and of itself, but rather a symptom of some other underlying imbalance in the body.

I would say it’s best to follow your body’s signals, so if you’re hungry, eat until you’re satisfied. In my own experience though, it’s a bad idea to start eating large amounts of foods that previously made you ill as soon as you feel better - I did this and after a year or so, old symptoms started to return. I now realise that I should have continued to eat a stricter healing diet for a while even after I felt better, just to lay the best possible foundation for my future health. So take it slowly when reintroducing previously troublesome foods into your diet, is what I’m trying to say. :)

Is there any chance you might have celiac disease? Depression, lack of appetite, IBS - your symptoms suggest that celiac is a possibility - although admittedly, there are many conditions that show those symptoms. Just something to look into. In the meantime, as you’re a vegetarian, you could try easily digestible soups & juices as others have suggested. Also try cooking a bowlful of quinoa or brown rice - both are easy to eat & digest - and add fat like olive or coconut oil or even butter to keep your calories up. Hope you get better soon :-)   [End]

Hi! Just so you know, it can take a few cleanses before stones actually start coming out. That was the case for me - I didn’t see any stones until the third, maybe fourth cleanse.

I don’t eat the products you mentioned, but I did get caught out with some instant miso soup the other day.

Hi! I think it depends on each individual person. I could tolerate starchy carbs when I had candida, and I managed to cure myself while still eating them, but maybe I would have healed faster if I’d cut them out - who knows?

The first colon cleanse I did was Oxypowder. I can’t be sure that it had a direct effect on my candida, but it, er, greatly improved my bowel movements (LOL!) Next I had about two colonics, before I started liver flushing. The colonics DID improve my candida condition somewhat (but didn’t cure it). THEN I began liver flushing, according to Andreas Moritz’s protocol, and after each flush I had another colonic to ensure that all stones were removed. After the fourth liver flush my candida was cured.   [End]
