OT ? about Candia
This board is more active thats why i usually just ask you guys so here goes: How common is this type of yeast? i had it for so long and it was painful im so scared it will come bk! How common is it that i will get another one or how easy? Im still getting over it i took the anti biotic the dr prescribed and i dont itch or burn but the rash is clearing a lil bit slowly but im still using the cream on it. I told my DH about using "protection" and maybe that would help to keep all the yucky stuff off my skin which has worked and im glad but what happens if we decide to stop using them will it just come right bk? How long should i wait b4 deciding on that? It seems kinda silly to me to use the "protection" since we cant get prego anyways but im doing it for my health right now. Any1 who suffers with this yeast plz give me some advice!!!
Good luck! Hopefully if you cut back or are more aware of certain things, you can nip it in the bud!
WOW! Thnx! i think i have heard things about diet but restricting myself is very difficult for me cus i have never had to restrict myself from anything! I heard about it for fertility and thought i might try it but as soon as i found out pizza was out the window i said forget it! but i ll look it maybe i can cut bk on certain things and that will help! This is the first time i got Candida but it was so persistent that i had to see a dr. I hope its not a chronic thing for me!
My MIL suffers from this and it is chronic...I've known her for 10 years and she has not been shy about talking about this! She is on and off treatment and she swears by a low carb/gluten free/dairy free diet.
Here is something I found:
Some alternative practitioners use diet to address Candida overgrowth. For example, Dr. Crook recommends people with Candida overgrowth follow certain diet guidelines:
* Avoid sugar. According to Dr. Crook, sugar promotes the growth of yeast. The total carbohydrate intake per day is often limited. For example, during the initial two to three weeks on the diet, the carbohydrate intake may be restricted to less than 60 grams per day, depending on age, health, activity level, and the extent of food sensitivities. Low-carbohydrate foods such as meat, chicken, turkey, shellfish, non-starchy vegetables, and certain nuts are emphasized instead. As symptoms subside, the carbohydrate total of the diet is often gradually increased.
* Avoid foods containing any type of yeast. This includes fermented foods such as bread made with yeast, cheese, tomato paste, mushrooms, and beer. Although Dr. Crook believed that people with Candida overgrowth would also be allergic to other fungi, not all practitioners believe this restriction is necessary.
The length of time on a Candida diet depends on the length of time one has had symptoms and the severity of the symptoms. The general level of health is another important factor to alternative practitioners when recommending a treatment plan.
People who do respond to the diet often report that it takes a minimum of four weeks before any improvement is noticeable. For many, it may take months. Once there is sufficient improvement in symptoms, practitioners suggest slowly reintroducing foods from the restricted list back into the diet.
She lives by this...boring yes but if she goes off for even one day she gets an infection.
