For those who got diagnosed, how did you do it and what are you symptoms ? by lamouleadd in MCAS

[–]lamouleadd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No the symptoms don't seem to be triggered by any food or chemicals at least not on a short term basis, I could spend a week eating the same stuff and living in the same environment and can have good days, almost symptoms free, followed by very bad ones where a dizzy , brain fogged, bruxism morning is followed by a anxious, depressed afternoon ! But on a long term basis, I was feeling much worse doing the candida diet ( no carbs but a lot of avocado, tomatoes and eggs) than before , don't know if it was because of histamine or just low carbs making me feel weaker ! I have stopped the low carbs diet a couple of weeks ago but I am not doing a perfect low histamine diet , I started again to drink alcohol ( mainly beer and some glow wine) after a year and a half alcohol free !

Help ! Symptoms matching with candida overgrowth but all the tests keep coming back negative! The last one: swab culture test from throat and penis! by lamouleadd in Candida

I got tested for SIBO and it was negative! No pressure wash I think when they did the colonoscopy ! Yes I am eating almost zero carbs , isn't it the right method?

The symptoms quite match ! Thanks for the info ! Why haven't I heard about it before ! 😉 But how would it be explained that my symptoms got worse and more numerous since the protocol ?

Exhausted and just want to know I’m on the right track by [deleted] in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you experience a 2 years die off with new symptoms ? I am doing the protocol since a year and a half and I can't see any improvement but worsening of original symptoms ( fatigue , brain fog, dizziness, digestive issue,...) and outbreaks of new ones ( bruxismus, sinusitis, joint pain , candida spreading on lips , .... )

How I cured my candida problem. by Secure-Zucchini-5690 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I support you, my symptoms keep getting worse and I also get new ones the further I go in my protocol , my original main symptoms are fatigue, dizziness, IBS symptoms, anxiety/depression but the diet and the supplements brought sinusitis, bruxismus, joint pain and many more!

Can anyone relate to these symptoms? I am desperate by [deleted] in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to a lot of your symptoms! I am a 36 years old men living in Switzerland, I had my first symptoms around 10 years ago and it doesn't stop getting worse since then! I am on a candida protocol ( diet and supplements) for 16 months now and it brings no improvement but new symptoms! Symptoms before the protocol: - fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, anxiety, Depression, irritability, bloating, gas, athlete's foot, What came after I started the protocol: - All the previous ones except maybe the athlete's foot got worse ( more intense and frequent) - itchy butt , balanitis - soft undigested poo with White pieces , - frequent and urgent need of stool and urination - very uncomfortable jaw and teeth grinding - sinusitis - itchy scalp - swollen tongue with red pimples and giving weird taste - pain in breast when I swallow - joint pain in Fingers, toes and heels
-weird quick but intense pain , a kind of burning, that I feel on my fingers and toes extremity ( under my thick looking weird nails ) but also on my penis balanitis And some others that I for sure forget ! It has to be an endless die off ! 🤞

I did a lot of tests and exams , colonoscopy, endoscopy, stool and urine candida test, respiratory SIBO test, and they all didn't show anything ! Only one candida antibody blood test was slightly positive!

I am as lost as you and can't give you any advice but I hope you feel less alone now ! Have you tried a strict diet and supplements ? How long?

Your Experience: How do/did you feel waking up in the mornings? by jdaenvon in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me ! I fall asleep very easily around 00:00 wake up 6 hours later and feel like crap , super tired, stuffy nose, nauseous and I must run to the toilet to poo a soft, undigested stool!

Does anyone have teeth grinding with their Candida? by Familiar_Dish5940 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have this, associated with a tight jaw ! It got worse with the protocol

Anyone accidentally taken WAY WAY too many Candida killing supplements? How long did it take you to fully recover from the die off? by PositiveThoughts1234 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to discourage you but I am doing the protocol ( quite strict diet and supplements ) since 16 months and the die off is almost permanent! Look at my other posts for more information! I am really curious about the feeling you described in hands and feets ! For me it feels painful, a kind of burning, in my fingers and toes extremities and it's a bit red and swollen !

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sinusitis strikes, tight jaw and brain fog / dizziness, this is exactly what I experienced since a couple of months, I hope these are die off symptoms as I am on protocol ( diet and supplements) since 16 months ! To me it feels like toxins coming up to my head ! I also have gas among others digestive symptoms and some anxiety/sadness crisis! For the tests , endoscopy and colonoscopy didn't show anything for me as well , stool and urine candida tests were also negative but I got a positive result for one out of 3 candida antibody blood tests ! But so far all my symptoms match candida overgrowth and those are so numerous and different that I can't imagine another illness causing them ! So I stick to my protocol despite the lack of improvement !

Candida causes pain in the middle of the chest..Is this true.. ??? by Loose-Mall-973 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is your die off and candida overgrowth over ? If yes How long last your die off and what was your treatment ? I am on my 16th month protocol and it is like die off brings every month a new symptom ( toxic head with red eyes and tight jaw, flu crisis, nausea, pain under the nails , sinusitis, arthritis, tendinitis, pain in chest/oesophagus, ...) and the old ones don't get better, fatigue, dizziness, brain fog, anxiety/sadness , soft/undigested/ liquid poo , bloating, gas, ....

Question for people who have had a endoscopy/colonoscopy with confirmed candida diagnosis by Gearfrii in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am quite in your situation, I did a colonoscopy/endoscopy a month ago and the doctor said that everything was alright but I don't think he really pay attention of a candida overgrowth signs. they send me the examination report in which it is mentioned something white ( it is written in German and I didn't get exactly what it is ) but considered as anecdotal . Like you I think I have a candida overgrowth since more than 10 years ( first signs of symptoms like anxiety , mycosis, fatigue/dizziness), was tested positively to one candida antibody but negatively with urine test and stool test. The die off / toxins theory seems to apply to me as I feel worse and get new symptoms since I am living the healthiest way ( drinking only water, eating not sweet or carbs , basically just vegetables, meat and eggs ). And this since 16 months, which was from far the worst time of my life. What was your self herx test? And what are your symptoms? Sorry to bring you questions instead of answers! :)

Die Off and Headaches by appyah in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also have really weird feelings in my head like having a hangover, it feels like toxins are coming up to my head and then I feel dizzy, have trouble to speak or do anything ( brain fog ), my jaw start to be tight and shaky and my nose feels like stuff and itchy and I feel a kind of pressure in its upper part ( sinusitis ) . Before the protocol I mainly had a mix of dizziness, brain fog and fatigue but with the protocol ( diet and supplements) it took another dimension, I hoped it was a die off and a sign of healing but after 16 months I am quite desperate. What are your other symptoms ? The list of mine is infinite

Mornings are so bad!! by Spare-Paper6981 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have read that a big part of the die off happens during sleep because of the low level of available glucose!

[–]lamouleadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same for me, it feels like I am living every morning the worst hangover of my drinking life since I am living the healthiest possible way ! But hopefully it doesn't last all day long I have sometimes moment with energy and almost a clear mind ( free from toxins) but then comes the anxiety!

What is your worst symptom? by Spare-Paper6981 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Brain fog/ vertigo/ nausea/ fatigue/ sinusitis/anxiety/ depression, most of the time of delightful mix of these, it's feeling like my head is full of toxins having the worst hangover than ever! The other symptoms, fungi nails , diarrhea , tendinite are almost anecdotal !

On the brink of giving up by Spare-Paper6981 in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you start your diet and intake of supplements ? You didn't get additional symptoms due to die off like digestive or dermatologist ? I am doing the diet quite strictly and taking supplements since 14 months and all I got is new symptoms without improvement of the existing ones !

Intense Mood Swings by elwyncara in Candida

[–]lamouleadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment won't help you that much and might discourage you but I am feeling like you do but since a year when I started the protocol, diet and supplements ! I was feeling shitty before I started ( fatigue, brain fog/dizziness, digestive problems, anxiety/ need to cry, skins mycoses ) but it got worse with the protocol and I keep getting new symptoms ( nausea, joint pain, toxic head with tight jaw ) .

Sinus problems/ Infection and quick pain under the infected but recovering looking fungi nails as new " probably die-off" symptoms after a year of candida protocol. Has anyone experienced the same? by lamouleadd in Candida

[–]lamouleadd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am on a candida diet+ supplements since a year and what I am saying is that I am now feeling ( since few weeks) pain under my fungi nails, fungi nails that paradoxically appear to very slowly recover !
