Very few problems now

Will try to make this as short as possible. Havent been here for awhile but in 2003 I got sick from Mono which became breathing trouble, constipation and the doctors called it IBS. After a month of hell and losing 30 pounds I read about the Candida diet and tried it. My health improved a good bit and even more when I did a Colon Cleanse and started fiber to get regular.

Later I went to a Reiki Master (natural healer) which started me turning the corner. I had been taking the garlic, lemon juice, vitamin C and a ton of other things I dont feel like listing here to save time. But I stayed on the diet battling the candida slowly for 7 years. Finally
I slipped on ice one winter day and almost died from a concussion. I decided to start living again. I made some friends by internet overseas. Went to the beach for the first time in 6 years as I had been scared to leave town for fear of getting sick. And in Feb I just took the chance and flew (for the first time anywhere) to Lima, Peru to see a girl I had been talking to long distance for a year.

Once there...I felt great, my spirit was renewed, I got over the fear or flying, but, left the U.S. and saw something new with someone I liked. I took the chance and had some mixed drinks and restaurant food and had no problems. When I came back I thought "well Ive done all of that..what do I have to lose" so Ive tried every food known to man and have had only a slight stomach ache with lasagna, and sinus problems with spagetti which I assume is a food reaction. So I leave things with tomoatoes or cheese alone still.

My point is this - I feel that much of this affliction..
at least for ME, was caused by stress, and stayed because of stress. I have been living in a very cold natured city as far as people go for awhile with NO social life and a stressful job. Once I chucked it and got away for awhile
and felt happy...everything changed for me. I may not be cured but I will be eating better with the exception of a few foods and have already gained back 16 of the 24 pounds
I wish to gain. It has been about one month since my trip and at first I tried everything but am being careful with sugars still and eating alot of fruits.

But if nothing else is helping....try getting away! That plus Reiki therapy seems to have worked for me and I will only get better from here!

Good luck
