Default Die off symptoms

Hi,

I was diagnosed with candida by my naturopath about six months ago, but I think I've had it for about four years. The main way it affected me was by lowering my immune system to the point where I was picking up a new cold or flu bug once every two-three weeks and was literally sick more often than I was well. Since starting probiotics six months ago my immune system has improved, but I felt that they were only masking the underlying candida and wanted to kill it off entirely so started the diet.

I've been on an anti-candida diet for six weeks now, as well as taking supplements and probiotics as recommended by my naturopath. The thing is, I have not had any die off symptoms, and I'm wondering whether you don't always experience die off, or that maybe I'm doing something wrong with the diet...? The only possible die off symptom that I may have had was an increase in the amount of thrush I have (which I've had constantly for about three years), but that coincided with the time when I introduced small amounts of potato back into my diet so I put it down to that and stopped eating them again.

Has anyone else successfully treated candida without experiencing die-off??

Thanks for helping!
- Melissa

Becasue you have eased yourself into it you may not have die off that you are able to notice. You have already experienced the increase in thrush so you may be okay. However that said should you change a supplement or add one in the rate that you kill the candida will increase and you may then start to feel something.
I experienced die off so I am not that person you are searching for but if you read through this thread you'll see that die off isn't always felt!!!
