No Die-off effect- Is this working??...

Hi Everybody,
I'd love some input. I've been on my cleanse for a week now (has it really only been one week? feels so much longer!) I'm doing the P B & C shakes twice a day, and probiotics twice a day. I'm using 1 teaspoon of Bentonite, 1 rounded teaspoon of Psyllium, and I started at 1 teaspoon of Caproyl, and three days ago I increased to 2 teaspoons of Caproyl.
So far I feel nothing.
I've done several things to prevent strong die-off, like start with a low-dose of caprylic acid, and gradually increase. And the Bentonite and Psyllium are supposed to absorb toxins and push them out, also decreasing die-off. But I guess I was still expecting to notice something. I'm not sure if it's good news or bad news.
I'm following the diet fairly well, although I have a terrible sweet tooth and had sugar-free chocolates several times with malitol, which I've heard feeds the candida.
I'll increase the caproyl, I think I'm ready to go straight to the one Tablespoon recommended amount. And I'll try to stop with the sweets!!!
So what do people think? Is it just not working yet? Or is it possible I'm not feeling the effects? Would a slip of having some malitol be enough to ruin the whole plan? Seems like with something toxic to them in the system they should still be dying, even if they're not starving to death!
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kuan Yin.

This is a reply to # 738,253One week=not enough time.
Is the fact that you are not feeling what you think is die off got you ? whether you have candida? Or are you questioning whether the treatment is working.
I can assure you that treatment works for candida. But you must give it more time. Also , it depends on the how resistant it is, but truly one week is not wenough time to judge. I would give it at least 2-3 weeks.
You must be on the diet strictly or will make the candida immune to your treatment.
Also, you may not feel die off right away even though you may actually be killing it. Die off is symptoms that begin to occur after the liver has reached it limit of being able to filter out the toxins. Once you kill enough of it off, you will begin to feel. Some are under the blief you would not want to feel it at all. Personally I am not one of those people and I don't want to be on the 10 year plan to get rid of this thing either.
Obviously your body is handling the dose, so bump it up to the full dosage of caprlyic oil.
Stay on the diet.
And , not to be gross, but examine your stool closely if you can. If you see anyhting white...strings, shreds , globs etc. It is coming out.
What were your symptoms and why did you believe it was candida? have these symptoms gotten worse, better, or no response?

This is a reply to # 738,266Thanks for the feedback Michelle. It's good to hear that I'm just being impatient and shouldn't be worried about the effectiveness. This is the third time I'm trying it, so the candida I have is probably already pretty resistant. But, unfortunately, I've had a harder time maintaining my enthusiasm this time around.
I'm pretty positive I have candida, so I'm mostly worried if the protocol is working. My symptoms are chronic vaginal yeast infections for the past year since I took three rounds of Antibiotics over more than three months; general fatigue; muscle and joint achiness (to the point where they tested me for Rhumatoid Arthritis, but it came back negative); increased allergies and chemical sensitivities; athletes foot.
It's hard to say whether the symptoms feel any different because they tend to wax and wane anyway. My fatigue did feel worse last week, that may have been the die-off, feels better this week so far.
Haven't noticed any white anything in the stools so far, but I've definitely been looking.
One question for you: Do you follow the 8 oz shake with another 8 oz of water? I've read people on the forum recommend it, but I don't remember seeing it in the protocol they mailed me from WholeApproach.com, I don't want to dilute the effect of the caprylic acid.
Thanks again.

This is a reply to # 738,277Yes, you need more water with the shakes or your elimination will slow down.
It will not dilute anything, caprlyic oil is oil and cannot be diluited by the water. It will help because the water will help the psyllium bulk up and scrap the sides of the intestine.
But you certainly do not want to get constipated.
let us know how you make out.

This is a reply to # 738,283Caprylic oil does not mix with water.
Good point!!!
I definitely need to increase my water, I haven't been very regular since I started the shakes, and I know that's really bad. I feel like I drink so much, but then I just pee a lot, and still pass hard stools. I eat almost nothing but salad and beans. I don't understand how I can be blocked up like this. I'm thinking about using natural laxatives, maybe every other day.- Re: No Die-off effect- Is this worki... #48820

This is a reply to # 738,290Hi
I use cascara tablets or digestive enzymes to keep from being constipated (while using this protocol). Also enemas or colonics.

This is a reply to # 738,253If it makes you feel any better, I have had die off Since Novemeber. It is off and on. And I have learned to live with it. Most times I accepot it as being normal until I think about it. I am a very physical ,athletic person and this candida die off has knocked me on my ass plenty of times. That is when it frustrates me, when I cannot do something physical I want to do. i am like some weak frail , little prima donna, I hate that.
