I just wanted to mention my experience with head pressure this wknd. It may not be the case for everyone, but is worth sharing, I think.

I had one of the worst headaches ever on Sun. (it has happened before where I knew it wasn't a die-off b/c it was different), and I've found that it's related to yeast/candida.

I ate more sugar on Sat. than I should have and had no immediate reaction. But on Sunday I had a bad/weird headache/head pressure. By Sun. evening it was unbearable.

So when it started I limited carbs and sugar and also called in a refill of Nystatin. I also cut up garlic cloves and took like a pill. Mon and Tues I've been fine. I did the spit test Mon. morning to see if the yeast was worse than usual, and it was.

I just wanted to mention this b/c some may not be aware of the havoc that yeast can cause. I've been dealing with it for a few years now and this has made me more committed to trying to stick with a good diet.

Do you take any natural supplements for Candida?

I take Azo yeast tabs (which are homeopathic, boneset and something else), coconut oil, and raw garlic if I can fit it into my already crazy daily regimen

There's a great book on systemic yeast called something like, "The Yeast Connection". Avoiding all sugar and simple carbs is critical. It's SO hard to overcome the cravings at first but it makes a tremendous difference in symptoms. Stay with your new convictions about diet.

oNE treatment regime for Candida is to go through the cleanse first (basically veggies) and then incorporate the strict diet and antifungals.

The only thing with me is that I am quick to loose weight. i can't afford to loose anymore. The all veggie cleanse would be a prblem with his issue

I've seen that book t the library so will pick it up

Any suggestions on maintaining wieght on this strict diet?

Yes, I have read The Yeast Connection; I thought it was a good book.

I also struggle with weight loss on this diet. I know I will lose weight. I did a VERY strict diet in 2010 for 2 weeks, and it improved my symptoms right away (though I did have a die-off reaction as well).

Since then I haven't been able to maintain such a strict diet; it's VERY hard for me, from the weight perspective, always being hungry and just my on the go lifestyle. I eat out a lot.

Its hard to keep strict diet with me too but it seems worth it When outside and being around store it is tempting sometimes to have a little chocolate or snack. It also feels like eating just vegetables is maybe too little so i usually add some chicken and fish to the diet.

See Don's post "throw away your probiotics". Great post related to what you're talking about here. Diet is essential. I did the diet recommended in the Yeast Connection for several months following by a good fast and the results were phenomenal. I got my brain back and also my digestive health. Every time you eat, think about whether you're starving or feeding the yeast. Somehow, for me, thinking of starving those buggers was motivating. Take food where ever you go and don't let yourself get super hungry b/c then you crave the sweets and yeast even more. After the first month the cravings diminish. Result with yeast impact babesia symptoms immensely IMO. Again, this is only my experience but thought I'd share.

Ugh... diet is so hard. I was really strict for about 6 mos. and since Christmas I haven't been strict enough. I just can't seem to get back on the wagon. My body is constantly craving treats. It's so annoying. It's starting to bring back my bladder symptoms so hopefully that will be the impetus I need to get it back together!
