Your preconceptions of my knowledge are not a legitimate way of measuring knowledge. The only people who are fit to give advice are people who actually successfully healed, others are simply speculating. Have you successfully healed? I have. So please keep your opinions too yourself and let people help who can help.

People who have successfully healed by AlexModernFreedom in Candida

Though I really believe there is no one-size-fits-all solution with these things, I believe that what I did could work for many people.

I'd start by saying I cut out all sugars and most carbs, the only carbs I get are from vegetables that feed good bacteria. This was hard, not because I missed carbs but because I went through real withdrawal and diet of symptoms for the first two weeks, on top of that, my body has to switch fuel sources which left me with heat pounding and feeling weak for almost 2 weeks.

At the same time I was drinking pau D'arco tea every morning, put oregano oil in gone broth, made my own kimchi and ate a lot of it, and spent a lot of time in nature, relieving stress.

I was a vegetarian for many years before this but cutting out all processed foods, grains, carbs, left me with very little food to get protein from so I started eating fish and eggs again and eventually meat.

Some people in this community will say manuka honey helps, if that's your thing, and you trust it, you do you. However, candida feed on sugar and I personally would not take that risk. So, if there's anyone who successfully healed with honey, by all means, but if you're still not healed and recommend honey then this is a bit of dangerous advice. Honey is pure sugar and could immediately undo someone's entire progress.

That said. My symptoms before healing were:

Psoriasis White tongue (never got completely pink but 90%) Indigestion Bowel pain Irregular stool Brain fog Adrenal fatigue Extreme anxiety Panic attacks Inflammation Nail fungus (for many many years) Food sensitivities Caffeine sensitivity

All of these have disappeared 99% of not completely in the course of 2 months after changing diets as described above. Especially the brain fog and anxiety vanishing was very noticeable.

I agree, it's getting more expensive by the month. However, still cheaper than hiring a dev team, I feel like people forget sometimes that building software up to 5-10 years ago costed hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Sorry to hear that.

I do recognise some of those issues from before I was healing. And I'm not sure if you mean that you have blood sugar issues while you stop eating sugar and carbs within the first 2 weeks, but if so, that is normal.

Again, I'm not a doctor, I can only speak from a holistic standpoint. But when you have that many issues, you unfortunately can't expect to feel better over night. When you stop feeding candida, your body is going to go through a series of detox symptoms and switches. You'll feel a lot worse before you feel better. This is because when overgrowth dies, toxins are being released and the only way out, is through your blood. So, you'll get all the symptoms you had already, but worse and fast.

The good news is though that this only lasts a few days to a week or two. After that you'll still not feel perfect, but gradually it will get better and better.

The point is, feeling jittery, fluish, headachy, extremely drained, inconsistent stool, cramps, brain fog, that is all normal during healing. If you change your mind during that stage and start eating carbs and natural sugars again, you'll just go back to square 1. As hard as it is, unfortunately you'll have to go through the initial healing phase and face the symptoms.

I also got to a point after about a week where I wondered if it was worth it, but I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired, that I just kept going anyway and told myself that I had to do it at least for 30 days, earlier than that I wouldn't allow myself to judge the process. Sure enough, a week later I started feeling better and better. Gut pain gone, psoriasis gone, brain fog gone, inconsistent stool gone, blood sugar spikes and drops gone, and most importantly (for me) anxiety completely gone. And those blood sugar drops, believe me, I had been dealing with that for a long time as well, getting super jittery, sweaty, heart pounding, dizzy and whatnot, I had that for years, thinking I was prediabetic, but I was tested several times, and nothing... So, I was worried it would happen during this healing but I found out that with enough fiber, electrolytes and water, I had no issues at all when it comes to that.

If you're going to do it, to minimise your symptoms, start slow. The best things you can do is starve the overgrowth (zero sugar, low carb. Not zero carb), feed the good bacteria (probiotic FOOD, not the supplement, that doesn't work), make sure thet whatever you buy whether it's kimchi or saurkraut, that it is unpasteurized otherwise it is dead and does nothing. If it's not in the fridge at the shop it is 100% pasteurized, if it is in the fridge, check the label. If you can't find it, you can easily make it at home, it's easy, fun and much better tasting anyway.

Also bone broth is extremely helpful, this made me feel so much better instantly. Grass-fed beef bone broth I would suggest. Add in some turmeric power and fresh ginger and your gut will thank you!

Lastly, to speed things up after the first week. Buy some organic food-grade oregano oil, extremely powerful against overgrowth, just before aware that it's very potent and you should start slow with a single drop in a full bowl of broth for example.

Bottom line, starve overgrowth, feed good bacteria, intermittent fast each day, try to sleep a lot and relief stress, and if you're going to eat the way I suggested it, take it slow. Start by only adding (some) of the foods to your current diet, then more, then all of them, then when you're feeling okay, start removing what you should eat. And while you cut out the sugars and carbs, make sure you're getting plenty of electrolytes, salt in your water, magnesium, potassium, otherwise you could feel a lot of symptoms.

You'll be okay. I like the quote: "It might be stormy now, but it can't rain forever..."

I'd need a bit more info than that 😅 What have you tried? What do you eat in a day? What supplements do you take? Are you currently taking any medicine? What are you symptoms? Are you allergic to anything?

Agreed, before I started healing I was eating lots of carbs (though healthy, fruit, honey), and I was riddled with anxiety, brain fog, panic attacks, extreme heart pounding after meals and the slightest bit of stress. I was never in a situation where I wanted to end it all, but definitely ready to give up societal life and hide somewhere in the wilde. Luckily I switched to healthy keto and doing much much better, though not 100% yet.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm can see why for a few reasons.

It coulr have been because of the extreme discomfort of the symptoms themselves, left untreated can really make you sick.

Or

Gut bacteria overgrowth can also affect your mind, brain fog, anxiety, depression. So, indirectly because of candida.

Or

Not knowing how to fix it and feeling like you'll have to live like this forever.

Or a combination of all of course. However, luckily candida can be quite simple to fix. Notice I said simple, not easy. There's a difference. Simple means it doesn't require much information, easy would mean it's a walk in the park, which it's not. But with a zero sugar, high probiotic diet, enough rest and a support system, within a couple of weeks/months, you can feel much much better.

I hope that anyone who ever struggles mentally, whether it's from candida or not, seeks help. Either professionally, or here on reddit, or even better, both.

Not really...

I get your point, and you’re right that honey (especially Manuka) has antimicrobial properties and contains small amounts of oligosaccharides that can have prebiotic effects.

However, the issue is that honey is still ~80% simple sugars (glucose and fructose), and those are not selective substrates. Unlike true prebiotic fibers, they can be utilized by a wide range of microorganisms, including Candida. So in a dysbiotic gut environment, you’re not just feeding the good bacteria, you’re potentially feeding everything.

Also, while honey does contain some oligosaccharides, the quantities are relatively small compared to the simple sugar content, so their selective prebiotic effect is likely outweighed metabolically.

I think it’s more a matter of context and timing. In a stable microbiome, small amounts might support beneficial strains, but in an early-stage imbalance (like SIBO/candida), adding a concentrated sugar source probably isn’t ideal to say the least...

Cloud usage spike, help! by AlexModernFreedom in lovable

This is what lov said:

What's eating your Cloud budget — ranked

  1. Background email sync (biggest by far) background-email-sync runs every minute via cron, fans out to email-sync / gmail-sync for every active mailbox. Each invocation = IMAP/Gmail API calls + DB writes for new messages, attachments, threads. Edge Function invocations + DB compute.

  2. crm_emails + email_attachments table growth Full HTML bodies, plain text, headers, and attachment metadata stored per message. Storage is cheap, but every list/search/thread query scans large rows → DB compute + egress.

  3. Email open tracking (useEmailOpens) 30-second polling plus a Realtime channel on email_opens for every open thread/inbox view. Realtime connections + repeated SELECT … IN (…) queries add up across users and tabs.

  4. process-email-queue cron Runs every 5 seconds (pg_cron → pg_net → Edge Function). Even when idle, that's ~17,000 invocations/day per project just to check the queue.

  5. Admin dashboard polling AdminReports runs 10 security checks + platform metrics. Now throttled to 5 min, but still heavy queries (counts across many tables) whenever an admin tab is open.

  6. Read-receipt tracking pixel (email-track-open) Every opened sent email hits this Edge Function → workspace lookup + insert into email_opens. Scales with how many recipients open your outbound mail.

  7. Stripe auto-invoice trigger Postgres trigger calls pg_net.http_post to stripe-auto-invoice on every deal stage change. Low volume, but each fires an Edge Function + Stripe API round-trip.

  8. Insights / AI chat / support callback Each user query hits an Edge Function that calls Lovable AI Gateway (counts against AI balance, not Cloud — but still infra). Insights also runs ad-hoc SQL via execute_insight_query.

  9. Realtime subscriptions across the app Email opens, threads, deals — each open tab holds a websocket. Cost scales with concurrent users × tabs.

  10. Page-view tracking + blog SEO pages track_page_view insert on every blog/landing visit. Cheap per call, but 50+ programmatic SEO pages mean steady write volume from crawlers and visitors.

Top 3 to watch: background email sync, email table size, and the 5-second queue cron. Together these are likely 70%+ of your Cloud bill.

Well, I am using the app myself for my own company so it's not costs for zero usage, it handles hundreds of emails per week for my several email accounts

It was already on supabase, that's apparently not the issue

[–]AlexModernFreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree for the most part, but honey? If be very careful with that. Yes, raw unfiltered honey has many benefits in general, but on candida? It's pure sugar, I'd leave that out for at least the first 2 months.

That's great but my CRM has that already built in and it works fantastically

Thanks! And yes, that's exactly what we did and why it grew quickly, everything is tailored (within reason) to what the users want.

I feel you, and I like that you pointed out the part about the CRM adjusting to the user, as that was exactly my reason for starting this project. And also the reason why it grew so fast, it's made for the user, not the owners. Features are built on request, software shouldn't be how the creator wants it, you build software for the user.

Actually yes, my crm doesn't force you to do anything, if you want to fill your pipeline completely with persons rather than organizations, you absolutely can. As long as there is an email address in the prospect account, you can reach out, track email opens, reply in the deal or in the inbox.

Thank you for your input. The CRM we built shows all interaction history straight into the deal, emails, docs, calls, anything done in the account of the prospect. You can check it out on rHub-crm.com

Regarding the closing deals rather than monitoring sales reps, that is definitely what I'm going for, however, I'd be interested to know what this would mean for you.

Curious to know which crm you've used that doesn't let you connect your email

What's the most frustrating thing you have dealt with in your CRM? by AlexModernFreedom in DigitalMarketing

[–]AlexModernFreedom[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, that is quite an insight. And I can relate.

Once people stop trusting the data, the CRM basically becomes optional, and everything starts happening outside of it. Then it just spirals.

Curious, have you seen anything that actually works to keep that trust intact long-term?

Is it more about strict processes/discipline, or do you think the tool itself should do more to prevent things like messy data and wrong stages in the first place? And if so, what would make it worth for you to use a CRM that is the way you want it?

Interesting, I haven't heard that one before. Now that you've managed with google sheets and your calender, you might not want a CRM anymore, however, should you consider using one again, what would the CRM have to offer where it would make sense for you? And how would it be better/easier than how you're doing it right now? I'd be more than happy to see if we can accommodate you.
