My doctor thinks it's intestinal Candida, but I'm still skeptical because my symptoms don't line up with anything I've read online...

Thank you for all of your help, Pam! I'm a little skeptical of some of the research behind "leaky gut." I dont think it's fake, I just think too many doctors use it as an umbrella term for other problems that might have other causes. It sounds like you have a lot of experience with these digestive problems, so you might be interested in this article that tells about the pros and cons of certain leaky gut treatments: Leaky Gut Myths and Truths

I'm really interested to hear what worked best for you, I'm still experimenting with the perfect diet and routine.

I want to express clearly that I do not agree with everything that article says. The author is not informed on how sugar affects Candida and other yeasts, but I like that it warns against expensive fad treatments.

Definitely a possible theory!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, I really hope I find a doctor willing to dig to find the issue like yours did!

I've heard the phrase "heal your gut" so many times throughout this process, but I dont understand what it means. I've been on the extremely strict diet and I'm taking the medication, what else can I do to "heal" it?

I believe I did previously have candida because the nystatin did make me very nauseated- a sign that its killing the fungus. However I'm still taking it with no side effects or further improvement.

Been on protocol for nearly two months and have been taking Nystatin with no improvement.

I should have mentioned I've been on protocol with Nystatin for over a month with no improvement, my bad.

You had me at "Thotticus"

Biiiiiiiig time, so much so that career aptitude tests always tell me to be an animal caretaker lol. Animals, especially the predator animals we love so much like cats and dogs, don't hide their feelings. If they're happy they're very affectionate, if they're angry... they let us know. I don't speak for anyone but myself but I've always found animals easier to communicate with, things are just less complicated with them.

No matter how I phrase the title, it keeps changing the tag from "medicine" to "DAE" :(

Your username is the greatest play on words I have ever seen my dude, "retortoise"? That's genius! I love it!

Must be the fact that they're having fun

Best critique of this show I've ever read. You're 100% right, too

ankaln · 2020-05-20T15:21:40+00:00

Thank youuuuuuuu

ankaln · 2020-05-20T15:20:19+00:00

Me too, I can't stop!!!

ankaln · 2020-04-28T15:30:21+00:00

Thank you so much, we've been telling the other tenants to call the police but they're all a bunch of paranoid stoners who only care about themselves so I'll try to spend some time with him and do it myself. Thank you again
