hey,
i had a terrible weird blooming rash break out all over my body. like a dreadful kind of excema (which i got as a child - did you? it makes you predisposed to getting it again if you have a candida overgrowth) - impossibly, insanely itchy, and spread incredibly fast - from a spot on my hand to all over in about two months. i felt just the same as you - like my body was falling apart and something was very very wrong.
anyway! i cured it through diet and supplements - i worked some of the diet out myself and then had it all confirmed by a specialist in london, if you live in the UK and want the address. in brief: no sugar (or honey or imitation sugars), no yeast, no refined wheat (pasta, white flour), no potatoes, white rice - pretty standard anti-candida diet - no vinegar, no mushrooms, no blue cheese etc. On top of that, no onions, no tomatoes, no citrus fruits, no strawberries or other red berries, no red pepper, and I try to avoid dairy products. No chillis for the first few months either.
My body went through a horrible die-off for about a week (like a hangover every day, and the rash got worse), then was perfect with brand new skin about a week later.
As far as supplements: I took some to accelerate the die-off stage (grapefruit seed extract, oil of oregano) but don't anymore. I do take a strong acidophilus every day.
hope this helps!
