so specifically what was the diet you follow that you found successful?

I read all of your posts start to finish a while backand wondered whatever became of you. I am very much in the boat you were in at the start.

Thanks for giving an update ... that gives me hope. I also do the enemas right up to the cecum but don't see the strings coming out like you do.

Are you still doing the florastor ? In high amounts ?

Thanks Michelle! You are giving us a lot of hope. I read all your post several times and I was hoping so much you will come back to us with such good news.

I am following your path and hopefully I'll get rid of it. I always taught it takes a long time before resuming with a normal diet. You give me the determination I was needing to continue with a so restrictive diet.

I have an important question for you. Did you get rid of all your sensitivities? Did you have sensitivities to chemicals, mold and yeast?

Cheers and enjoy your healthy life,

Étienne

What were your symptoms? Congrats!

Hi Michelle,

So you are saying that ultimately the psyllium and caprylic acid shakes were not useful?

Do you advise enemas to overcome constipaton, or do you recommend for everyone? How often?

If Florastor worked for you I think Threelac might too. Did you ever try it?

I am very allergic to yeast, so not sure I could tolerate Florastor. However I think it is possibly the best probiotic for fighting Candida. Were you initially allergic to the yeast in Florastor?

Did you ever try Rx antifungals like nystatin and diflucan?

Glad you have made a recovery. Gives us all hope.

Hello Everyone

I was very sick for a long time. Anxiety, low blood sugar, shakiness, weak, burning sensations in my head, blurry vision, feeling like me head was in a freezer, skin rashes, sensitivities to odors, headaches, sinus infections, and alot more

I stayed on the diet for a long time, because I had to. I was way too sick and petrified of making it worse. When I would take a bite of something I should not have I paid dearly for it for weeks. Not worth it. Possibly some can get away with eating other things, I could not. I still have some candida in there so if I eat too much Sugar at one sitting I feel weird for a few seconds. So I do not abuse it or over do it.

My symptoms were clearly toxins and being depleted. So I addressed both as agreesively as I could. I took supplements which I still take. Wheat grass juice, e3Live, magnesium, Florastor, vitamin c, fish ol etc. to help my body continue to fight and to replace what was lost to candida for years.

I stick to my diet most of the time still. I enjoyed Christmas dinner this year and Christmas cookies that I always made for everyone else for years without eating myself. But I also eat lots of salads and drink alot of water and stick to my diet day to day. I don't want what is still in there to grow and become a problem again and I know I am not done with my fight.

I believe it comes back because you never got rid of all it to begin with. There is a point when you can begin to eat Sugar and potatoes and not feel sick, that does NOT mean it is gone. It must be taken seriously.

I continue with enemas NOT for regularity but for deep cleaning and to remove candida. After all this time still seeing large pieces come out. It's insane how much of it can be in there. I try to do it 2-3 times per week. Usually several days in a row. By the second day bigger stuff has been loosened from the day before. I then like to go 5 days or so without enema so my bowels move on there own in between so I do not become dependant. Usually I will see more that was loosened come out.

If you do not see candida you either do not have candida, are not doing the enema correctly , or it is coming out with your bowel movement.

Usually I empty out of movements first and I keep going, then clear water comes out with candida. I do three deep rounds.

Do not use enemas for regularity. If you are not going then you are not drinking anough water and you are not eating enough fiber. It is a big reason why you have candida to begin with . Address the iregularity. Get some exercise, drink at least 4 bottle so water if no 5 16 ounce bottles per day is perfect. And eat a big green salad ...with no dressing.

P B and C shakes do work. They are slow to work. They work by killing candida and then the fiber sweeps you out. You must drink alot of water for this to work. The caprylic acid did kill candida but there was an immediate release of toxins that made me feel horrible. And if you get backed up from the fiber then that is not good at all. Also , I just plain see alot of it come out with enemas. They are not fun, I hate doing it. But they work without the release of toxins associated with killing it. It hydrates my intestines. It is just the perfect solution. With the shakes no where near as much came out.

You can have up to a pound of candida inside. So if all you see is a few strings here and there you are not making much progress and it could take you far longer than it would with enemas.

It might be a good idea to alternate. possibly do a shake once a month to kill anything stubborn.

Eating raw garlic is good to but can rip your stomach apart if you do everyday. Again, rotate. But enemas are still your best bet.

For those of you not seeing candida when you do enemas. I use approx 45 ounces in about 3 rounds. I massage my abdomen counterclokewise while filling. I hold it for a few minutes. Lay on all sides for a few seconds , front back, sides . Then begin rubbing clockwise to empty out. Get a flashlight and look close. After all movement is gone keep going with one or two more rounds. Clear water should come out. Do this several times and see if you see anything. Your goal is to get rid of all bowel movments first then the canddia is in there exposed. You want to soak the little suc***s right outta there at this point. This is why i like to do it several days in a row. My gut is clean and i can keep going at it.
