Yes that's why the dairy and wheat kills me even though I'm finally recovering from candida. I read once that the candida causes your natural digestive enzymes to be destroyed. Another poster mentioned also how your pancrease secrections are affected. Gosh so much damage...it's awful. Good job for you being able to take the digestive enzymes. I tried numerous kinds over the years but they always caused pain. Sadly, I think too much damage was done and now I am starting from scratch where my digestion is concerned. I find that when I take nothing at all and avoid allergens my gut feels like it's healing ( --which it never did before because it was always riddled with candida ) All my symptoms begin to go away. I have tons more energy too and can run stronger and exercise harder. But if I make a mistake I get worse again. Leaky gut is a vicous circle.
And wow...great for you you're already seeing a difference after 5 weeks??? Gosh you must not have been sick for for very long. Congrats :-)
