This is my first post though I've been following and reading posts for a few wks now.

My LLMD suggested we do a candida detox (no sugar, dairy, starch, wheat, limited fruit) for 14 days before we ramp up treatment for Lyme & Co. (by ramp up, I mean I started Cowdens 1 wk ago but after the detox the next plan is to start abx) I am finishing up day 3 of the detox.

In scrolling through the site I haven't seen this question asked. If so I'd love someone to share the link. Or if you have personal done this I would love to hear, as well as worlds of encouragement bc I'm struggling.

Just to add, we did not test for candida, he just think this is an added problem.

Thanks!!

What is your question?

Are you asking if it's a good idea to do the Candida detox? Yes, it certainly can't hurt.

I apologize.

I was just looking to see if anyone else had been told to tackle a possible candida overgrowth before tackling Lyme? It's very draining to be told you have to cut out majority of the food groups while at the peak of Lyme symptoms.

Was just hoping another person had some words of encouragement or positivity.

Thank you for any kind response.

Sometimes reality of healing is not comforting or positive at first. Knowing you are entering a new phase of health will eventuality seam positive. Most of what candida likes are not good foods to divulge in. Veggies are. Cutting out sweets makes veggies taste better.

My LLMD made me do that and stated on leaky gut program before ABX. I had lyme for many years, so another few months was no biggie. Some lymies have huge gut issues, then abx makes it worse.

We all owe it to ourselves to at least venture into clean eating, staying there or not is a different deal.

Since you’re only holding off Lyme treatment for 14 days - it’s not really setting back your Lyme treatment.
Give it a go - you may find you feel better on the diet and want to continue after the 14 days.

Thanks for all of the responses.

I feel much worse with this limited diet and trying to function in my career and family is difficult. I'm not on the candida diet, I'm on the candida detox so no fruit, starches, dairy, sugar....10 more days. I will not be following this after the 14 days, I need my fruit and sweet potatoes.

I've had Lyme & Co for 10+ years so I'm in no rush. Just patiently following the rules.

Thank you again for the responses.
