After I eat and when trying to sleep issues.

Get anxiety issues after a bigger meal that require lorazapem 1mg.
I'm thinking of Candidas having fun but still researching this.

Can't fall asleep without loraz, as MINI panic attacks flare up. ALS taking zolipidem 12.5mg for night aid.

I'm seeing more things that are pointing to Candidas for anxiety and panic issues. I am seeing improvements when I aggresively go after the candidas but how do you convince this to a doctor, as I'm told it's not fully understood by the medical community.

Hi T.T.

Welcome to the A/P. I am not super knowledgable about over growth of candida and the connection to anxiety.

It would certainly stand to reason though, as other digestive issues can exacerbate anxiety.

Our digestive sysytem is our largest immune defense, so when something is off there, it can be a big deal for our overall health.

Have you tried probiotics or kefir to get things back into balance?
I would also recommend talking to a naturopath to get advice as to how to proceed in treating this.

In the meantime, what self-help coping skills do you use is any? We have a bunch of ideas in our Resources here. (main page,1st post) The breathing and progressive muscle relaxation and meditation exercises are great and will help if practiced daily.:)

Keep posting with us. Support is key.:)
