Thanks PeteZa :) I have heard about iGenex and have been thinking about getting it done. I am just wondering about a test through the health care system that carries diagnostic weight too....
Hi everyone, I have done the Western Blot test through the health care system here in Canada. It came back negative. I also did the iSpot Lyme test, which came back positive. Unfortunately the iSpot...
Hi everyone, I am looking for an LLMD (actual MD's please) in Alberta, I live in Calgary, so preferably the Calgary area. However, I am willing to travel, maybe even to Montana. My parents also have...
PeteZa- Good to see you too! I originally tried the herbal approach and found that I have way too many psych symptoms with those that were unrelated to die-off. Did you ever get tested on the western...
Hi everyone, I haven't been on the forum for about 10 months, I wasn't having any success with Lyme treatment so I began to doubt that it was Lyme... However, everything still continuously points to...
Hi all, I've been absent for a while... trying to figure some stuff out. Anyway, yesterday I found out that I'm actually quite toxic with a heavy metal called thallium. So toxic that the bar on the...
Lol sorry, I kind of skimmed over before! Thanks for the info!! Daisies, what do you mean by continuously asking for it to be "cultured"? Does that yield better results...
Hello, I am usually posting on the Lyme Disease forum as I initially thought that all of my symptoms were from Lyme. I have Fibro and CFS as well. Lately I am moving more in the direction of Candida...
1000daises, thank you!!! That concerns me about the boulardii..! I agree that it is a starvation diet. I've lost all colour in my face and body and I feel so tired and run down... The private doctor...
July, since I am sensitive to antifungals she's only got one on relishing, boulardii, and pay d'arco. But being super strict with diet. I tried to throw some onions in the mix the other day and those...
Hey everyone. Still not having the best of luck with candida. I reverted back to the candida diet because the fruit was giving me headaches. I am only eating veggies, chicken, eggs, and coconut...
I started taking Saccharomyces Boylardii two days ago and I was up with what I think is a sinus infection today. I haven't been in contact with anyone who is sick and I've never had a sinus infection...
Hi, I've been trying to get off of AD's for about a year now. I know how you feel! If you are feeling worse from your antidepressant I would speak with your Dr. right away. These medications are a...
ChickenArise, It's okay, don't worry about it! I did, however, stop taking the coconut oil and MCT oil that I mentioned. The other stuff that I mentioned I am still taking... I have an appointment...
ChickenArise... I'm a little confused. But when you said "Digestion Stopping? Shouldn't that lead to chronic constipation?", both of these things happened to me on the Candida Diet but went away when...
Well sorry to hear that!! Sounds rough! I hope you get better soon!...
I just didn't want to get picked apart, lol... Everybody on here is pretty understanding though! Rikky, did you/do you struggle with candida issues? Do you feel like including fruit helps with...
Sorry for the confusion! I have put Lyme treatment on the sidelines temporarily because I was responding horribly to treatment. I wanted to focus on candida instead right now. So this post is only...
As a few of you know, I've been having quite the struggle with the standard Candida Diet. I was strictly eating only veggies, meats, eggs, nuts, and oils (olive, coconut, MCT). I was also on some...
Yes, I am taking GSE, MCT oil, coconut oil, Pau D'arco, ACV, and Lemon water...
Thanks Traveler. It is not herxing that is the problem right now... It is actually that the thrush on my tongue is spreading and looks as if it has changed forms (more "puffy")....
Just looking for opinions or personal experiences... I know that sugar is a big part of this battle... But I have come across a few articles today that want to point the blame at fats. I think that...
Exactly, Girlie... It's extremely frustrating. Krimpet, thanks. I've seen that website... I feel so hopeless!!! Do I lie to her and say that my candida is gone..?...
I am just thinking that my hormonal imbalance (low progesterone and estrogen dominance) is the missing "link" in my candida treatment. I have read quite a few studies on the internet about how...

Thanks, girlie! :)...
Yes, I'm a huge guinea pig myself... lol! I wonder if some people get worse with abx because of a candida issue... Which is why I'm avoiding them right now, but definitely want to try in the future....
I feel as if I am in the same boat (I hope!!!). I am not sure about Lyme anymore... Although it is quite possible. But I know I have candida 100% because I can see it on my tongue. I am really going...
Woke up very depressed... Haven't felt that way in a while!...
Oh, I feel so bad for all of you with systemic candida :( I can't even imagine. Yes, I can't afford one right now because of xmas, but was planning on trying it out... There are a couple of spa's...
Thanks PeteZa, do you know if it is toxic in any way? P.S. your signature made me laugh, so true!...
My dentist wanted to fill my tooth a couple of years ago, but since it is not a cavity and just that it is broken down, I have been putting it off. I recently asked them what kind of fillings they...
Mine tastes the same, I think it's the alcohol in it. Let it sit in the glass for 5 mins and it should air off...
That sounds intense, ChickenArise! I don't think that my Candida is bad to the point where it has spread to my organs (I hope! I could be wrong). You can see my symptoms in my signature, I believe...
Thanks, I read over it! Makes me feel like I'm on the right path...
Sorry for the confusion, I intend on doing veggetable juices/smoothies for meal replacement. This way I can clear everything out. I am replacing solids with liquids, but either way, I will still be...
So the diet is going well so far, I'm strictly eating only vegetables, meat, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils. I'm drinking lemon water and ACV, taking coconut oil and MCT oil, drinking Pau D'arco and...
bbmuffin, I've been doing charcoal here and there, thanks :) Mike, thanks for the info, I had some this morning and it didn't seem to flare up, I did some searching and found that some people...
So... I think I over did it yesterday, woke up with chills and nausea, extreme fatigue and lethargy (could barely stand), pounding heart and on top of it all a major panic attack. I don't think I've...
Thanks for the info huddie and bbmuffin! Huddie, did you do a cleanse? Or just the diet? Is there possibly something else triggering your candida issues other than sugar? I do not have a link, this...
You sound like me, haha, I'm very anxious about new things! Are you struggling with candida right now? I think I will pick up some pau d'arco tea tomorrow. I didn't have a bad reaction to that one...
Yes, it is very upsetting!! I've only been experiencing all of this for 6 months now, I mean I suspect that I've had it for years, but just found out. I can't imagine what it was like to try and get...
Just changing my diet for right now. Not sure if my body can handle anything like that yet, although I have considered it. I am eating 2 tbsp of coconut oil a day and drinking about 2 tsp of apple...
Thanks! How long does it generally take to get rid of the candida? My Dr. told me today that we can't take the next steps until it is under control and rescheduled to see me in 4 weeks. Is this...
Maybe you could start out smaller and work your way up if you're inclined to take it still....
Hahaha, not what I meant!! I just mean it would be confusing if the coconut oil really was killing things that well, it could just be that you have a good combo of herbs or abx and coconut oil fit...
Hmmmm.... I know that it has antiparasitic and antibacterial properties, it's probably a herx, although coconut oil is pretty lightweight...
If the oral thrush on your tongue is gone does that mean that the overgrowth is gone? Or should you keep treating? I sometimes drink lemon water for detox. Is this a bad idea while on the candida...
I haven't had any bad reactions. This coming from someone who is sensitive to everything!!...
What I found is that certain brands that claim to be good (organic, virgin, raw, etc.) didn't do anything for me. I recently just switched to a different brand and starting getting stomach aches...
