Candida Die Off

So I recently started taking threelac and dr. Ohhira's probiotics and I believe I'm experiencing some kind of a die off reaction?
Basically I have been feeling feverish at times, been getting a rapid heart beat and palpations (usually after eating), light headed, fatigued, white and yellow tongue coating, bloated, colon spasms and pressure and whatnot, and anxiety attacks.

Does this sound like I'm making progress in the die off department?
I also recently gave up caffeine as well. While I'm not adhering to the candida diet completely, I have been eating healthier (I'm in college so I basically eat what I can get my hands on)

Responses would be nice, just so I can get some other testimonies because these symptoms are making me a little anxious.

Yeah, I assume that the combination of the probiotics and the withdrawal symptoms are causing it. I think I'm going to stop taking them for a couple days just to see how I feel.

Thanks

Yes, your symptoms could be a die off reaction. Many people can feel sick when they do this. You may want to think about cutting back a little to see if this helps. For some people doing a yeast cleanse can take months.
You could also be having some reactions from caffeine withdrawal.
I recommend seeing your Dr if you don't start feeling better soon. Just to make sure this is not a virus.
