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

[ann mayes]

Last question and sorry for being so dense but do you take the antifungal and the probiotics in a pill and what is the name on the bottle??

I haven't taken a pill in 20 years except for starting this plan and doing the vitamin thing so the pill department is like a mystery land.

Wish I had never taken that spit test . :confused

Going to make hubby take it in the morning. He has already reached goal and I think that is very unfair of him so maybe few nasty pills for him would be good. :joy

Any pro-biotic acidolphilus will do. It is in pill form; take it twice a day. Don't forget Oil of oregano capsules, twice daily, and garlic and dandelion tea; Yogi Tea makes a great tasting DeTox tea. Also take the plant enzymes. And the organic unfiltered Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar.

Keep us posted!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!

I haven't lost any weight as of yet (since last Sunday, though I have only TODAY eaten perfectly with the candida diet because only now am I sure what to eat and not eat) but I want to say

I FEEL GREAT!

I'm not tired, don't feel more bloated after eating, don't crave the things I can't have (though bacon will be tough).

I am eating so healthfully minus the refined meats, etc! No weight has come off yet and I'm still retaining some water, but I think that goes away, right?

I don't even miss diet Coke.

And I crave my oregano oil water! Yummy!

Thanks for this thread! It's amazing how much better I feel right now.

For anyone who has no clue what you can or cannot eat, go to this website and print out a printable version of the page and stick it to your fridge.

Just thought some of you may like this.
Home Candida Test.

The Candida Saliva Test. First thing in the morning before having anything to eat or drink, get a clear glass and fill with water. Work up some saliva and drop a spittle on top of the water and observe. If in 10 minutes time the spittle is still sitting on top of the water then you most probably do not have a candiadiasis problem. If however the spittle spreads and breaks up or you see streamers going down into the water then you may well have an imbalence.

Got this off a candida web sight may clear up the results a little with everyone.

This may be a stupid question but can I still eat eggs while I'm fighting off yeast?

[moonwish]

Oh yes, eggs are ok (I've had 6 of them today, so the MUST be ok :guns )

[2big4mysize]

there at lots of Oils of Oregano makers out there make sure your bottle is standardized to 70% carvacrol, the highest amount available. Carvacrol is the chemical in the wild oregano ( eating herb will not work) that kills the candia. It alkso kills your friendly bacteria too, so you want to be sure you are taking those probiotics along with it.

[I EAT FAT]

Friday night and I'm reading about yeast. God I need a life.

[2big4mysize]

oh and when you are taking those friendly probiotics you want to eat them seperate from the OoO like at bed time so they can get established and occupy the space the dead yeasties had before the antibioic properties of OoO gets them

[calyn320]

Well, I did the spit test but I already knew I had it. I've been getting 1-2 yeast infections a month for a while (I thought it was a hormonal thing)... :guns That in and of itself is depressing.
But I had been doing the research of what suppliments to take. I just started Yeast Fighters by Twinlab and Olive Leaf extract for the first four days, along with probiotics and today I started my 2nd round with Yeast Cleanse by Solaray and Oil of Oregano (I highly recommend the capsules if you can find them :nod ) with the probiotics. From what I read there are 2 ways to get rid of it, that is to take a combo of these things for 4 days and then switch them up (they say it is the only way for the yeasties to not become immune to them) or take each one and rotate them each day. Which do you guys think is best? Or how did you guys do it?
Now I find out I have to do the diet too... I am more depressed now. Cleochatra, thank you for the link to the list of foods. But I am in real trouble here. It's no wonder I have a yeast problem. Let's see, I eat mushrooms, probably 1-2 cups a day some days...I eat cheese on a daily basis...I eat peanuts and pistachios...Sour cream...herb tea...****, if I cut out all the things on this list, I'm not going to be eating much!!! Exactly how long do I have to cut these things out? Some say 2 weeks, some say 2 months :yikes I need :help

Oh, and I am drinking Yogi detox and peach detox teas on a daily basis.

Also, do you think I can still have my flax bread? Thanks

[SkinnySoon]

That depends.... whatdo you make your flax bread with??? Everyone's got a different recipe that they follow.

[calyn320]

It has flax meal, almond flour, whey protein, eggs, cinnamon, walnut extract and sf syrup.

[SkinnySoon]

SF syrup is not allowed on a candida diet.... NO artificial sweetners, other then Stevia.... and even that is debatable. I'm not sure about the walnut extract either because it's made with alcohol... but in limited amounts, I'd probably use it anyways.

If you want to try baking them with stevia powder, then they should be okay. (do not use liquid stevia for baking.... the sweetness breaks down when heated)

I'm not sure about the whey protein either... but I've been eating it. I think it's okay, but haven't noticed anything saying either way.

[calyn320]

Thanks for the help, I should've know AS were not allowed... I'll try the stevia if I get desperate!!
