I stopped taking it for a few months and candida came back, which for me means worse brain fog and body weakness, sometimes dizziness. I'm going to always take VCO from now on. Good luck getting rid of it! I also find I can't get away with much fruit, just some berries now and then. I hope you can work it out without too may dietary disruptions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-18074459265295502102011-08-16T13:47:53.769-04:002011-08-16T13:47:53.769-04:00Oh....

When I did, Doctors Poopooed me.<br /><br />I ended up treating myself. I am healed of the candida but from having systemic candida, I have a lot of other problems I am working on.<br /><br />I found I couldn't get rid of candida until I killed a lot of parasites. It seems candida and parasites go hand in hand.<br />Hope the fluconazole works for you.Eat To Livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851191468716916221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-9203884259579722492011-08-15T23:25:06.227-04:002011-08-15T23:25:06.227-04:00Sorry you are having to fight that!Hope and pray i...Sorry you are having to fight that!Hope and pray it goes away soon!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />ElaineElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922200217770835483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-15122623308712218462011-08-13T15:55:03.397-04:002011-08-13T15:55:03.397-04:00(((Sue)))

You are one tough cookie! I have just posted a link to a nutritionist's powerpoint on cfids (not yeast infection sorry) from here in Oz. It's the basic stuff and I'm sure you know it all but I like to read things just to refresh my mind sometimes - and see what I agree and disagree about! Also I think I've fixed the feed issue at last! Life gets busy as I know you understand! Hope you have a great weekend.Anniehttp://www.parentingcfs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-74860107375466519932011-08-12T20:45:41.016-04:002011-08-12T20:45:41.016-04:00Good to know about the emulsified oregano.

I'm actually considering going on a Paleo style diet and starting to use raw milk products and grass fed beef. I already eat GF and organic but I think I'm going to bump it up another notch.Baffledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763003920036754454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-32466373408453588592011-08-11T18:42:02.870-04:002011-08-11T18:42:02.870-04:00I take a probodic everyday.

Both olive leaf extract and oregano are potent anti-fungals, and yes, taking them orally will help your skin.<br /><br />Regular oregano pills upset my stomach. Our Lyme doctor recommended ADP. It's emulsified oregano and doesn't bother my stomach at all. Here's where I buy mine:<br /><br />http://vitalbee.ecomm-search.com/search?query=adp&Submit.x=20&Submit.y=11&Submit=search&catalog=yhst-18881564211546&.autodone=%2Fyhst-18881564211546%2Fnsearch.html<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-14086434377693065552011-08-11T08:18:29.413-04:002011-08-11T08:18:29.413-04:00Lee Lee -

We eat lots of fresh fruit, but I heard that up to 2 pieces of fresh fruit a day is OK when fighting yeast, so I've been trying to limit myself. I often have 1 small square of extra-dark chocolate at night but not much sugar in that. I may need to examine my diet more closely and get even stricter. Thanks for the tip!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-8911405543730149452011-08-11T01:53:20.010-04:002011-08-11T01:53:20.010-04:00So sorry to hear that.

I heard that this is common with fibro since it somehow compromises the skin. Mine isn't antibiotic related. Doc has me on the strongest antifungal cream he has and all it does is keep the rash from spreading. I almost got rid of it at one point but my CFS took a turn for the worse and it came back with a vengeance. I'm not taking anything by mouth yet. Not sure if the stuff you use would work for a skin problem but it might be worth a try. I might use some Olive leaf. How do you take the oregano??Baffledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763003920036754454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-22091157692288053262011-08-10T23:19:02.368-04:002011-08-10T23:19:02.368-04:00The thing that made a difference for me was cuttin...The thing that made a difference for me was cutting nearly all sugar and processed carbs out of my diet as well as eating extra garlic, ginger and coconut products ... the diflucan was good but didn't seem to be able to shift the yeast on its own ...Lee Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614823402670740413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-73094302746102015722011-08-10T17:38:11.842-04:002011-08-10T17:38:11.842-04:00Thanks for all the info, Renee!

I'll look into Red Root and Cumanda...I suppose mostly, I need to be patient...not my best trait!<br /><br />As for the liver, Jamie and I take so many supplements and meds that we always take 2 milk thistle a day to help our livers process all that stuff. That's supposed to help.<br /><br />I've been trying to stick to 2 servings of fruit a day, too - I read that was OK. I don't really eat a lot of sugar normally - a very occasional ice cream or dessert but mostly just fruit....and my one square of dark chocolate a day!<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22576999.post-43842026369150989172011-08-10T16:28:02.296-04:002011-08-10T16:28:02.296-04:00Oh, boy. That yeast is a nasty beast~ you are so ...Oh, boy. That yeast is a nasty beast~ you are so right. Joel has had to take diflucon/flconazole for a long time. He took it just days a week along with lots of probiotics. He also got a yeastg infection under his skin causing the ends of his toes to hurt. I took an herbal treatment with lots of probiotics too. Right now I am still having yeast issues slightly so am ramping up the probiotics and cutting down on fruit. We have always been able to have only 2 serving of fruit a day....but I had been having more. We took the saccrymyacess too and I am getting it again next time I go to the LLMD. Cumanda also helps as an antifungal along with Red Root but both also kill the bugs so causing herxing. <br />Hopefully someone else will have more to help you with. Sure seems like you are using a lot of stuff and the fluconazole should work soon. It is powerful stuff...just hard on the liver.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.com
