Dealing with Candida die off symptoms... Need some crucial help.

I'm dealing with a pretty bad case of candida. However, I just started a new job, I'm trying to find the balance to where I can treat to the candida and tolerate the die off at the same time.

I can't go into work feeling really bad. I honestly shouldn't be working right now but I don't have a choice. I need the money to feel better, I don't have any other means of income to sustain myself.

I have constant periods of brain fog, a terrible post nasal drip, and extremely cold hands and feet. It gets worse when I take Yeast Ease Plus so I've discontinued it for the moment.

I really need to deal with candida herxing. I've been taking molybdenum to help ease the symptoms but it's not enough sometimes.

What are some effective detoxing methods I can do to stabilize my symptoms? I can't take any tinctures because of the alcohol right now.

I've read that vitamin C, magnesium, milk thistle, and molybdenum are common recommendations. I just really need something to work. What about activated charcoal or cholestryamine?

I need to knock the fungus load down to feel better but I can't overdo it in order to perform at my job. I'm struggling pretty hard.

Would taking S. Boulardii cause a die off reaction? I'm been looking into it but I want to know it'll make me herx.

Any advice? Thanks so much!

superjo - I am struggling with candida too - Ive always had trouble telling the difference btwn lyme and candida - how are you able to distinguish? and what do you mean you cant take herbs bc of alcohol? I am having the same problem - when my candida (which i am believing) got worse, I all of a sudden had an alcohol intolerance - to one beer! I am fine the night of, but the next day I am bananas - I cant think straight. this never happened to me before. just curious of your experience.

thanks!

I do believe traveler is right - detoxing is the same for both. i would definitely add in activated charcoal, it cant hurt, just take it at bedtime and away from everything else. drinking alot of water can help too - extra hydration is key to flushing out toxins. lemon water is good, but i think lots of regular water is good too.

good luck - please keep me posted!

Just go at it low and slow. One thing I learned to do is if something is too hard to take every day, take it every other day until you build tolerance. After taking it every other day for a while, take it two days in a row and then take one day off and so on until you are able to take it every day without so many bad die-off symptoms. This method really works for me.

myeezy - would you recommend psyllium? what you said makes sense.

What worked for me

- sauna
- japanese knotweed
- chelated magnesium (don't use oxide magnesium please!)
- milk thistle
- activated charcoal before bed, on empty stomach - this was the best gut detox, always worked for me
- reducing the dosage of anti-candida protocol, if it dies, it dies.... it can die at a slower pace and do less damage to your body.

take great care with S. Boulardii, if your immune system is not good enough it can create lots of problems on its own, especially in large doses.

Coconut oil/butter is awesome for candida, not only kills the thing, it also is an anti-inflammatory of the gut and a rich source of fats for your body. I can process coconut oil fats well but if i try to eat any other kind of butter/fat my stomach hurts.

Also, taking some digestive (pancreatic,bile) enzymes is a good idea as in any case of dysbiosis the whole digestive process is affected.

Bump I'd like to know about the S. Boulardii issue too.

Does coconut oil cause herxing?

Have not read the other posts, but this is what I did. My son couldnt get past 1 week of Candida diet. So, kept to no carbs, no yeast no sugar, BUT did 50Billion parts Ultra Flora at lunch, 100 Billion Ultra Flora with 2 Candex at bedtime.... NO MORE PROBLEMS!


It's expensive, but if we went to the new "all over the new stuff" drs, it would be a lot more.

He is well, his gut is well - ok, he is HERXING from the ABart we started, but NOT the candida.

herxing from lyme, bart and candida, he didn't make it to school....

Can you take S.boulardii with an antifungal? Or does it kill the good yeast too?
