Best of luck to you! Yeah, sounds like candida to me. The bloat should resolve with the diet if it is candida. One thing that helped me a lot was raw saurkraut from Rejuvenative foods (regular kraut won't do it) as it is full of naturally occuring probiotics, and the first time I tried it, I could feel it doing battle in my intestines with the bad guys, which really helped with bloat.
