first of all..thank you so much for all your wonderful products. they are already a lifesaver to me. I have horrendous candida symptoms for most of my life….white coated tongue, recurrent yeast infections, hypoglycemia…in the last few years, cracking joints, horrible gas and bloating after eating anything, bad breath dispite great oral hygene, painful menstral cycles, foggy headedness, memory loss, inability to concentrate, forgetting words I have known for years and misspeaking, fatigue, feeling "drunk" all the time, lack of libido, athsma, sensitivity to smells and chemicals, moodiness and occasional joint pain. I'm sure I forgot a thing or two. Bad, I know. I have been on tons of antibiotics in my life as well as acutane. I eat a healthy diet and don't take any meds cause it makes me feel slightly better.
I have taken your ultimate flora 50 billion…both the regular and vaginal for a couple of years and it has given me a little bit of relief. I took the 200 billion for a week and it provided relief from most of my digestive issues while I was on it. I had what felt like severe die off off and on during the course of taking the probiotics.
So I bought the candigone and have been on it for 30 days. I am following the diet strictly and am taking candizyme, fibersmart, oilsmart and ultimate flora 50 as suggested. I feel so much better! My symptoms are 90% gone already! I really haven't had much die off reaction but felt it off and on and even recently….usually I can get rid of the feeling by downing a bunch of water. And I'm not craving high carb foods or sugar at all! It's amazing. I really hope this improvements keeps up and want to make sure I don't go back to feeling like I did before. I'm pretty committed to staying on a gluten free diet even after I resolve this issue. I've never really eaten that much sugar to begin with.
I read after I started that I should have done a regular cleanse before starting the candigone. I bought cleansesmart and I have more candigone as well. How should I best proceed? Should I do the cleansesmart now and follow it with more candigone for 2-3 months or should I stay on the candigone for another 2 months and then take a break and do cleansesmart? What will give me the most success?
I also would like to use paragone at some point in the future.
I know I need intestinew and once I finish the cleansing, I will take that with ultimate flora 200 followed by ultimate flora 80 to heal my intestines and replenish good flora. I will definately continue to take candizyme for maintanance as well.
What do you think?
I've been drinking tons of water. Occasionally I drink mineral water for a change here and there but it occured to me that perhaps I can drink teas made from some of the herbs that help kill candida as well. I bought paul d'arco, peppermint and chamomile tea to have occasionally when I want something different. Will that help at all? Is it a good idea? I've also been eating a little coconut oil each day. I had tea made from peppermint and chamomile yesterday and had extreme sugar cravings afterward. It was very strange…I suppose it could have been some type of die off reaction. Of course, the tea is unsweetened. Any other tea suggestions or suggestions for things to drink or eat that will help the candigone along?
Hope that is not too long and I want to thank you again for your wonderful work and products. I will be a customer for life.
