I was reading the Sunday paper and it interviewed a marathon runner who said she was questioning her energy level due to a low-carbohydrate diet. She said she was on a low carb diet because she had a virus "Epstein Barr" which caused an overgrowth of yeast in her body.

Well. . . I went did a Google search on Epstein Barr and got about 65,000 hits. Not having time to wade through all this info (good info versus junk) I was wondering if anyone else here has any info on this or if anyone has been diagnosed with this.

thanks

what I know through years of having ME/cfs is that there is a link between low immunity/stress/viral infections and overuse of antibiotics with candida! Every time I have to have antibiotics (which I use only in the case of extreme infections) I automatically get intestinal candida............infact my doctor asks me now if I want antifungls when she gives me antibiotics.
I take sporonox which helps immensely but only for a short time as it can have a toxic effect on the liver if used for too long.

I recently (since LC'bing) have been using dairy and cheese which seem to have caused some candida symptoms.........fuzzy head/headache, brain fog, bloating and gas to name but a few symptoms, hence, have decided to omit dairy for a while to see what happens.
