Cleared up yeast and bloating and losing weight!!!!

[crittermix]

Missy thank you
I hadn't gotten to that chapter yet but have been dealing with some problems that just keep coming back. Of course the Dr. prescribed creams but of course the problems keep getting worse.

Looking at my food diary I noted when I didn't have this problem for awhle then it came back in full force. At that time I was eating eggs, cheese, and cream in the quiche.

Taaa Daaaa it all makes sense now. :nod
And the spit test this morning confirmed it.
Thank you...now I am a happy camper....now that I know how to prevent this problem.

Isn't it a great thing to know what is causing symptoms and stalls and generally not feeling like yourself and now you KNOW what to do to prevent it???

YIPPEE!!!! :icondance

Missy, did you experience any cramping from the die off of the candida yeast cells? I hear that can be a real problem. Let us know, thanks!!

[missy90]

No, not at all.

A frien on another site was a septic too and had her whole family do the spit test her son that had many of the symptoms she did tested positive to her rail skinny symptom free child didn't.

If you still doubt it you can pay ofr the test at your docs they use a stool sample.

I'm also a little bit skeptical, because I went to Nutrition Smart this weekend and talked to a very credible nutritionist I know there, and she told me that when you have Candidas and kill it off, you get cramping in the intestines. Missy said that didn't happen to her, yet she did benefit from this cleansing.

I took the spit test and it was positive too. I have no symptoms of Candida other than I have always been a slow loser and some legal foods like cream cause me to gain right away, so I figure I could try a Candida remedy and see if that helps. What have I got to lose, except a few bucks?

The Candida remedies are pretty expensive, but I found one that only takes 2 weeks to do and is not very expensive and has all the ingredients Dr A recommends (Oil of Oregano, digestive enzymes and Probiotics). I'm willing to give this a try, as I don't think it could hurt to try to reset my Ph anyway.

you don't have to buy anything you can use natural Atkins allowable foods to starve the yeast to death. You can use the antifungal foods or herbs to help kill it off and prevent reinfestaion and you can eat or take probiotics to help keep they intestinal flora at a desired level so the yeast don't get a chance to grow again.

Not every person who has a yeast infection has the same symptoms. just think about all the different ways induction flu hits folks because we all have slightly different metabolic make ups. Yes if you have a sever Candida infestation and you switch to the antoi candiad diet and take the meds you may get cramps but remember we are low carbers so we have been starving our yeast for months already. Several folk get sever yeast dieoff during their induction flu days with cramps hives the whole works.

Interesting. I still think I'm going to do the 2 week cleanse though, as I had taken antibiotics twice since starting Atkins over a year ago, and though I know about resetting my flora & fauna afterwards, I didn't , so I think it would be beneficial.

I think this has been a good thread. Thanks 2big!

We have given up so much for this WOL, I want to be sure before I go and give up dairy too!! Sorry, but I am the world's biggest skeptic!

Why be a skeptic here? Dr, Atkins even said that over 80% of people have it and don't know it. The spit test is the test to take, found it on other sites not promoting their product.

Missy :wave

well, I am 3 days into my cleanse. I don't have all my supplements yet as I had to order them on line but I do have the garlic and dandelion tea.

I have had alittle bit of cramping and diahrea but nothing I could not live with...and I definately what this yeast under control. I have found it very easy to modify my diet to eat this way. other than having to change my thanksgiving plans slightly, I do not think it will effect me all that much (though I would love some hot sauce!)
