Hi Kim,
Yes I have done alot of research about Candida and what it does to the mind and body. The healing process at times feels worse than before. Fortunately I am starting to get my energy back which feels like a HUGE gift especially having a young family. Like I said I am being treated by a homeopath so he is doing things differently than what I read on line. So no I am not on antifungals, at least at this point. He has taken it slow with me because of my history and now I am finally seeing results. He continues to add things as I slowly get better. Bsically he wants to see what my body can handle during each step. The good news is my digestion is getting alot better and my strength is coming back. Not having my physical strength was really getting to me!
Oh in terms of my diet-I am watching my carbs as much as I can but like I said I am not being as strict as others at least not yet. I also know the candida is slowly moving out of me as well so he may change my diet once he feels I am strong enough to tolerate such a change. I know it sounds strange based on what I have read about the candida diet but knowing my own history I am glad he is going slow even though at times it has been hard. I was in pretty bad shape by the time I saw him so baby steps have made sense. If I could write my story I would but it would be a book like many others.
Thank you for responding-not knowing I am alone is so helpful.
