Weight this morning - 153.0 lbs
Whew - what a day so far. I went to bed and woke up this morning with a headache, and I've taken so many Advil already that I can't possibly take any more. And yet, my head is still killing me. This sucks!
Anyhow, I have discovered, after reading the Candida board above and the DANDR book chapters related to it, that I most certainly have Candida, and I need to treat myself by further restricting my diet and taking a whack of supps to kill these yeasties off. This totally explains so many "mild" yet irritating symptoms that I have been suffering from for years.

I'll write more in the coming days as to how and what will change, but most certainly it will be the following:
1. No more bars what-so-ever and no sugar alcohols!
2. No cheeses
3. No decaff or caff coffee
4. No dairy
5. No fruit
6. No grains
I'm looking forward to taking this next step and correcting my imbalances in my system. I'm starting today by heading to the health food store on the way home for at least the following items...
I'll keep updating my journal as usual, and I'm going to make sure to keep a really tight rein on all of the different things that I will eliminate.
