Default "Die-Off"

I would be interested in the symptoms people are having as the body is killing off this junk. I for one ,am experiencing itching in the anal area,under my arms and in my ears. My eyes are also itchy and watery. My stools are soft and greenish in color. I have been unable to find much info on this part of candida. Thanks Vonnie

Unhappy re: die off

I have similiar symptoms with the die-off. The itching is really bad. Never noticed anything green in the bowl, tho, what are you taking, supplement wise, for the candida?

I also notice that when I take the anti-fungals (I am currently taking Candistroy) that in the morning, I feel like a have a hangover! I take the stuff at night, so I don't feel like death all day!

Go to google.com and do a search for "candida die off reactions" you get alot of info that way. I had a hard time finding info about die off until I searched in that way.

Good Luck!

-Jess

...Greenish could be a sign you're releasing junk from the gallbladder too. If you are eating a lot of greens, such as spinach, it'll cause that too. So will eating a lot of 'blue' foods such as blueberries or prunes.
Die off symptoms are nasty and quite varied. Itching where you described is common. Be *especially* careful right now about not eating any sweets/starches. If it's dying off it'll get desperate and start to make you *really* crave sweets/starches/fermented foods. Yogurt sometimes helps.
Use extra strength zinc oxide powder in the itchy places, but be forewarned zinc oxide used in 'private' areas sometimes causes a strong 'tingling' sensation. I find it especially useful in the armpit area.
