Candida or Other Fungus?


Hi,

I was diagnosed by a naturopath/iridologist with a fungal infection in my intestinal mucosa over 6 months ago. I was put on garlic, omega3 & hcl supplements.

Basically my symptoms are -

nausea/abdominal discomfort
heartburn
chronic fatigue
weight loss
brain fog/depression

I havent really strictly followed the candida diet as I was initially told it wasnt necessary in my case. However whilst I have improved off and on since I always seem to relapse.

I have since seen another naturopath and have been put on Grapefruit-Seed-Extract & a herbal concoction of pau d'arco, barberry and some other stuff. I have also been put on a strict candida diet.

I guess I wanted to get some feedback on whether everyone on here was sure they had a Candida infection and not just a fungal infection. I am assured that I dont have Candida but my symptoms are so similar to everyone else on here.

The only difference is that I dont experience anything outside of my GI tract (except for tiredness etc) - ie - I dont have any of the common symptoms mentioned here like itchiness, flu symptoms, joint pain etc

The other peculiarity of my condition which even the naturopath wasnt sure of was - my illness follows a distinct pattern - I will be completely fine for 1-2 weeks - ie - absolutely no symptoms except for a little heartburn - even if I eat normally - ice cream, chocolate etc. And then I will wake up one morning feeling nausea - it will then slowly go away during the day and then return the following morning - this usually goes on for several days and then gets better (for a week or so). One of the naturopaths told me that this was because fungi builds up during the night because you take in less oxygen - however no one else seems to mention this phenomenon - if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!

Many thanks and good luck everyone!
