Candidas overgrowth

@adawson94 Welcome to connect . We here care about each other and try to help . We aren't Dr.s so cant diagnose. Your post came at the same time I am reading about candida albicons . The Candida diet.com go there and it has information . I just started to read information . One thing it said was we need to be on a anti inflammatory diet and also probiotic , good vitamins that's all the further I got so far but this will cause a lot of problems you are talking about and me with pain. Look it up Candida diet.com

Hi @adawson94, I echo @lioness 's welcome. I am sorry to hear about your overgrowth and varying symptoms. I think the Candida diet is something very useful to look up. Do you tend to eat a lot of refined carbs or foods high in sugar? You said that it appears all over your skin. Can you elaborate on that? Does it appear as a rash? How is this affecting your quality of life?

I just got out of the Hospital after 4 days. I'm not any better than when I went in. I have (what I think) is Candida infection. It has been a life long problem for me. I've been to over 30 drs. in the last 60 years, and never gotten a answer. The first time I had a problem< I was in the Navy and ended up in sick bay. I heard the Dr tell the Core Man "I really don't think he's going to make it". I was an attach of the digestive system, and I ended up crawling to the toilet about every 10 minutes. It lasted about 3 days, but I finally overcame it. When I got home after my discharge from the Navy. I found I was defiantly sick of Turkey, Chicken, and other types of birds. This was a surprise because I had grown up eating this type of food. I started going to the Dr. in 1964, and to this day I have never gotten an answer as to what this is, and how to treat it. My recent visit to the Hospital Found that I had Pneumonia, but I never had that kind of symptoms. I'm at my wits end, and don't know what to do now.

Many many years ago ,I had an overgrowth of yeast,candida I went to numerous drs. But no diagnosis. One Dr. even told my husband it was depression. My husband told the Dr.,you don’t know my wife she doesn’t get depressed. Most positive person I know. The chronic-fatigue,digestive issues ,joint pain all were getting so much worse as the time went by. Finally,a naturopathic Dr. gave me a test,(stool analysis )and I got my diagnosis. She saved my life. I tell her that every time I see her.I kept a food journal,gave up sugar, carbs followed the candida diet etc. for about a year and slowly started to feel like myself again.I love my ice cream and baked goods.Every time I ate it ,I would start to feel lethargic again.I read everything about it. Knowledge is power. I always now take my probiotic, watch my diet of sugar,carbs, and eat a healthy Mediterranean diet,lots of protein and exercise daily. I have my energy back and am feeling grateful and blessed everyday. I hope this helps you.
