Hi there,
I'm new to this site but not to Candida. Candida effects different people in different ways. I never had a yeast infectio in my life !! Anything from oral thrush in babies to dry skin or bloating in adults.
At the age of 22 I was diagnosed with arthitis by a specialist. (Too much party-ing
) I couldn't walk move or anything. Every joint in my body was swollen and painfull!! The docs wanted to put me on steroids and cortizone, but I decided to go to a Homopathic doctor in PA. He took one look at me and said I had Candida.
I ate only eggs, any veggie that I could peel or scrape, (ie: carrots where in... but green beans where out) and distilled water. He put me on a perscription anti-yeast drug called "Nystatin" Very powerful stuff. Even meat was a probelm because the poor animals had so many antibiotics in them the meat was saturated. I would have a steak for dinner and the next morning I was aching all over again. Mind you I had a very extreme case. I was very sensitive to molds. The rain would bother me!!! But after about 8 months of eating very carefully I had a full recovery.
It wasn't easy. I stayed totally away from cheese. Anything that would feed the yeast (mold kind of stuff) I lost a ton of weight, but the diet was very extreme. My health was at stake and I was in pain. And only 22. Now I'm 42 and just started Lo Carb.
Knowing what I do about yeast and Candida you would think I'd have it under control..... but those little yeast-ie buggers want to eat..that's where I believe my cravings come from.
Well enough from me
Good luck with your journey.
