I'm 5'2 and use to weigh 100lbs... I gained 40lbs in 3 weeks and didn't know what was wrong.
That happened last year.

I just found out a week ago I do have Candida and I'm hoping that these pills and diet will get myself back to normal.

I have no idea what you can do, sorry, but I'm in the same situation.

How much oregano oil are you taking? You probably need to take a good amount 3-4 times a day for it to be effective. 300 mg. each time would be my guess for dosage.

Hello, Lain,
I am having trouble with my lips (probably candida in the saliva glands). Skin Doc gave me some cortisone cream for them, and within less than 2 days the upper part of my stomach enlarged and i gained weight. Steroid and Cortisone are one and the same. It has many other names however it is still the same thing, and does the same thing: it makes you gain weight, thins out your bones, raises your blood pressure and i forget what else. So i then, immediately went to a different kind of Doc. and he gave me Diflucan and told me to stop the cortisone (if i could) what????? Anyway i have stopped the cortisone and my lips are very sensitive, but changing radically. I had so much energy last night i couldnot believe it - thought i would never get myself to bed . . . finally did, not a good night because i am also on antibiotic for an infected tooth that was supposed to be pulled today, however yesterday i went to eye Doc; who said i have pinkeye, and stay away from everyone; donot shake hands etc. Now the tooth will be pulled Friday, however now i have to stay on the antibiotic which, as you know, makes fungus (candida etc.) worse (so does cortisone/steroid). The antibiotic causes severe acid in my mouth, so all night i was drooling and stinging the corners of my mouth, thus up and down hitting the kleenex box all night to stuff kleenes in the corners of my mouth
All in all i feel you have some how or another gotten yourself into some kind of steroid/cortisone. I think it can be found in common foods too. Have you been gorging on a particular food that may be hight in steroid? Especially beef is injected with steroid. Animals are injected mainly in the neck so stay away from neck cuts of all meats. Or you may be retaining a gross amount of water, which is scary, and in that case you would need to run to your Doc. If your bowles are blocked: between that, which would also make you retain water, i would imagine it could really run up the wieght. I hope everyone is on their intsetinal (colon) cleansers, and drinking lots and lots of GOOD water. Gotta go now to make my concoction of:
Psyllium (whole husks);
Bentonite;
Liquid Cal-Mag+;
Liquid B Complex;
And 2 Capryl (cannot find the liquid yet).

What ever happened to your acid reflux with the Primal Defense? I used Primal Defense for my candida to beat MS. There seems to be a link...However, I notice die off symptoms which is really tough acid reflux.

The problem with Primal Defense- according to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet with also targets Candida (scd.org, breakingtheviciouscycle.org) -is that it has a lot of stuff in it that irritates the stomach and intestines (spirulina, seeds, grains, grasses) and some of the bacteria are of questionable benefit.
