Tell Me This Will End

[merryjo]

I'm on day 9, and this is the 2nd time for me also.

I feel so so sick. I'm too sick to cook or even take care of myself or my family.

Is it possible I still have induction flu?

I did also at the start of the diet start slowly to wean myself from my huge amount of coffee. This is my 3rd day with none at all.

I also started a candida diet the day before. I have candida really bad. This morning I wanted to check it, so I spit in a glass before I went in the bathroom, when I came out, it had sunk to the bottom! That was scary.

I also came down with a cold a few days ago and it sure feels like a flu with it, fever, achiness....

I am so sick, I can't take it. I run a home business too and life does go on no matter how you feel. My youngest is special needs, and I homeschool. At least the kids are here to help out though.

Will this ever end. Every morning I wake up just as sick as the day before.

Sick as I am, I still manage to weigh myself. How sad is that. I've lost almost 4 lbs. I'm an ounce shy of it! Yea!

Aounds like real flu to me. I had a real bad cold last week felt like I could die. It doesnt sound like induction to me. I hope you feel better soon.
When you feel better PM and we can gab about homeschooling!

Maryjo,

Sounds like you have a lot going on! I had what I think was induction flu around day 11 this time around but I wasn't near as bad off as you. I think Lauren is right and you have the real thing.

I hope you feel better soon.

I hope you start feeling better soon! Yeast die-off can be a horrible thing and feel like the flu as well. Drink plenty of fluids and take care of yourself!

Are you taking any supplements? Also, why not post in "review my menu" all you've typically been consuming on a day, including beverages and condiments. List quanttities and ingredients if you had something with more than 1 food in it. Mention the yeast. Some things in there may need tweaking if you are struggling with candida, and feeding them too.

Re: Tell Me This Will End

Trust me Boonie Stomper, I am so sick, I am pretty much just eating meat, oil and butter. Although, maybe I should completely cut out the dairy.
There are different candida diets out there. Most let you have cheeseI

I have a ton of allergies, so garlic is one of the things I can't take.
I take colloidal, a very strong probiotic, and a combo with caprylic acid, pau d' arco, black walnut, and oregano oil. Plus a ton of other supplements.

But maybe I should do more to get rid of the candida. Today when I retested and spit in the glass, I was suprised to see it sunk to the bottom. Maybe that's pretty bad.

Well, I am determined to get better. I have been sick for years. And with my youngest having problems, I need more of me to go around.

Thank you all for your replies. I feel very welcome.

PLEASE tell me you are eating also 2 cups of vegetables from the "salad" list and 1 cup from the "other vegetables" list from the allowed foods list for induction??!?

Also, how much dairy have you been getting, and what type(s)....

Again, please post your menu?

Also, caffine withdrawl can take a week or more for some people. Sounds like your body is trying to adjust to a few things at once. I hope you are drinking lots and lots of water to flush your system out quicker. I know when I am feeling sick veggies are usually the last thing I want but I would try and incorporate some. You really do need them. I think this should pass soon. You are probably at the worst of it now. If you continue to feel the way you do though I wouldnt hesitate to call your doctor.

When I kicked the caffeine habit I was miserable, kept a headache for at least 2 weeks, I thought by switching to decaf I was doing the right thing, but soon found out decaf has caffeine in it too. It just kept my headaches going.

I sure hope you feel better real soon!!!

Re: Tell Me This Will End

Thank you so much everyone for your response! It made me feel like it will end!

This is my menu for today, and I think it is a good day considering how sick I feel.

Organic Raspberry tea with stevia and cream.
Eggs with butter.
Chicken with olive oil, sea salt, pepper and parsley.
1 cup romaine with olive oil, apple cider vinegar and 1 ounce cheese, salt & pepper.

Dinner will be roast with some sort of FAT on it(yum) and green beans.

That will be all for today.

I know it's not 3 meals but my stomach is not too happy.

I will be perfect when I am feeling better.

I also followed some candida links, and they ALL said no dairy. So, no more for me.

Thanks again!
Maryjo
How do you permanently put your stats at the bottom?

I hope you feel better today!!!

Re: Tell Me This Will End

Hope your feeling better soon! I've had caffeine withdrawal as well and the headaches are just awful.

[merryjo]

Thanks, the headaches are definately slowing down. I've pretty much lost my craving too. It helped alot when I read that coffee has carbs in it!
Coming out of my misery today.
