Sugar Feeds Candida and Not the Sweetness

A woman is wondering if something made with stevia for sweetness would be bad for a candida diet. What she believes is that it depends what you add to the stevia. She has some, but she took a few nibbles off the tops of her sons muffins and now she feels ok. However, that is all she has eaten and it surely didn’t fill her up. Her face is really tingling today, around her mouth and eyes. Yesterday, she was dizzy for the first time in over a month, so she must not be eating as healthy as need be. She keeps thinking if it is caused by the use of Stevia. Read more..

Mycelial Form of Candida Invading the Intestinal Epithelial Creating Holes

My friend is a lab technician who is interested in candidiasis correlation with anti nuclear antibodies. After feeling “lousy” for some time, a doctor ordered a battery of tests, including an ANA. Her results came back positive at 1:640, much to her astonishment and dismay! She was stunned as being a lab technician she knew all the “bad” things this could mean. All her confirmatory testing (with the exception of a weak positive anticardiolipin AB) always come back negative, so she has been labeled with a “lupus-like syndrome”. Her ANA titers typically rise and fall along with the severity of her “yeast” symptoms, but are never zero. Read more..

Humidity and Sweat Made Candida Worse

My friend is wondering about her candida cause, which she thinks could be the weather. She is due to see her naturopathic doctor in another week to determine how she is coming along on the series of herbs and homeopathic medications he prescribed for her. She is generally exercising and eating fish/chicken and vegetables for pretty much each of her candida diet meal. She occasionally needs a treat and when she does, she will have some carbolite sugar-free frozen yogurt (no chocolate of course). She is just wondering why she doesnt have any of these burning, itching, crazy unpleasant die-off symptoms that she keeps hearing everyone talk about. She is happy to not be in great pain, but she wonders if she is really starving the candida. Read more..

Fungal Infection That Likes to Attack the Eyes

This guy has been suffering from what he thinks has been Candida overgrowth over the last 4 years or so. He has changed his diet considerably, and although he is able to function on a day-to-day basis, he still carries certain pesky symptoms around that just won’t get the hint. One in particular is his prostate troubles. He is 32 years old and believes he has the prostate of an 88 year old man. He dribbles, sore, and has to urinate three to five times in the night.

Faster Candida Overgrowth By Infecting Your Partner

It is amazing to see how fast candida overgrowth can be. A friend was hospitalized as a child and they put her on 3 different broad spectrum antibiotics. Now, she is so sick with CFS, spaciness, and weakness. However, she is still on birth control pills right now, and she is worried if she will transfer the candida back and forth with her partner. She crashed 4.5 years ago, but has been kind of sick since right after that hospitalization. It took her that long to accept it is probably candida overgrowth, so she is not sure what steps she has to take now. Read more..
