Re: Eczema and Candida?
ive had facial eczema for about a year and a half.i came to a similar conclusion that it may be candida related.i also had weird bowel problems like terrible gas and a soupy churning feeling in my stomach.thinking back it was really awful.ive managed to get the eczema under control but not eliminated.i can still see where it is but most people probobly dont think i have a skin problem.i drank alot of beer for a long time and i think this is what caused the imbalance. tons of alcohol and yeast every night is a bad thing long term.it sfrustrating because its difficult to say yeah this is definitly candida but alot of symptoms seem to point to that.ive tried antifungals;caprylic acid ,oregano oil,even diflucan with no great results.ive noticed certain foods trigger it more than others.heres the bad news coffee and alcohol are probobly the worst in terms of triggering the eczema.but heres some good news since you have weight concerns.animal protiens and veggies is a diet i was on for a while and lost alot of weight.not good for me i was thin already.this is a good diet to bring the yeast level down .its alot of protien which is acidic and ive been starting to eat more grains like quinoa(keen-wah)its good once your used to it.i have a theory that the eczema may be triggered by an acid body ph given that coffee and alcohol are very acidic to the body.im going to get ph test strips to test myself and see if i keep my system more alkaline i can get rid of this.candida thrives in acid environment.check out wholeapproach .com they have good food lists there.watch out for corn chips ,they dont agree with my skin,olives are pickled which took me a while to figure out. pickled=bad.beans are supposed to be ok but i dont think so.the big ones any kind of
Sugar natural artificial,fruit,dairy; theres more on those food lists.what im doing now that ive got it better is cleansing my bowels first then kidney then liver im on kidney now.maybe i can shake it from its root which i suspect could be some kind of kidney or liver damage.i think i may have candida but i also want to see if i have weak organs holding toxins from the drinking i used to do.i quit for over a year and as soon as i had some drinks boom it was coming back.so youve got to really want to get well .it sdifficult but if you need advice or supprt email me at dcsmith@earthlink.netand ill let you know how the cleansing works for me.now im taking threelac,primal defense and perfect food last two made by garden of life .its all a bit expensive though .im not sure if thats whats helping but somethings working.threelac 2x a day,p.d.2,2x,p.f.2x.im abreviating things so i must be sick of typing.i just wanted to connect with you because i may be of some help and ive tried really hard to get rid of this in alot of ways for a long time.best of luck!!!
