In December 2007, I developed what Doctors told me was acid reflux. I am not going to go into the story about how wrong they were but I was never getting better by listening to them.
2 years later or around that time frame, my younger sister, Kim, also developed stomach issues that the doctors had no idea what her problem was.
January 2010 my older sister Kathy developed allergies so bad that she could not stand it any longer.
All three of us have CANDIDA
Above from left to right, Kathy, Me (Terry) and KimWe are now all on the Anti Candida Diet and doing very, very well. So, I am here to say....Candida is hereditary.

Hi Terry
That's interesting. You've got me thinking now as I think my sister has had it too.
If its hereditary rather than lifestyle can we really prevent or eradicate it? I am doing fine now but I always worry it will return.
take care,

Celiac disease is also hereditary and the similarities are eerily similar. I had acid reflux for 5 years, digestive issues my whole life, sensitive skin prone to rashes my whole life, iron deficient anemia, migraines, body aches, constantly was getting bronchitis, horrible asthma since childhood and the list goes on and on. Well anyway every time I get glutened I get a horrid rash and can't stop sneezing, migraine, diarrhea(I know TMI,sorry) and body aches galore. Well anyway I remember you saying you had gluten issues, are you on a gluten free diet??
Celiac Disease is forever...but following my diet closely....my symptoms vanish. When I am glutened they return, but you know how that is. I am like you I try to stay away from restaurants, I don't get sick at home. You can't really prevent CD per-say but if you stay away from gluten as much as possible you wont be at risk for it's awful side-effects...not just symptoms. It can cause a lot of crazy stuff to happen...it's an autoimmune disease than can create other autoimmune diseases if it's unsuspected for too long. I don't mean to scare you or anything, but these things are good to know. There are a lot of things I know about CD now that I wish I would have know years ago...it would have prevented alot.
was I supposed to e-mail you back??? If so my bad.
My Mom was diagnosed with lichen schlerosis and I have candidas and possible parasites.Does anyone know if Mom's could be related to the candidas?
Sherry,
Candida and Parasites ...... Wow!! They are finding that they can cause a whole lot of different symptoms.
Personally, I think candida and parasites cause a lot of the illnesses we see in this world today. Many people might disagree with me and that is okay. You gotta do what you gotta do for yourself.
I know a fellow that has cancer, it seems if you have cancer...you have candida. I told him that I bet he also has parasites. He thought about it for awhile and did the parasite cleanse. Sure enough. He had parasites.
It is just such a scary thing...
