Candida is a devastating illness. To cure candida, will consume your life. You will wake up thinking about it and go to bed thinking about it. I know there are worse things out there than candida... but if you don't cure the candida.... It could be you with one of the worse things. Candida can lead to many illnesses.
To take any sort of a vacation is so much work that you will wonder if it is worth it. I had to drag almost every meal with me because I never knew if I was going to be able to find something to eat at a restaurant.
I also have to drag my drinking water with me so I don't get into chlorine and flouride.... these two thing will kill off your good bacteria and let the bad bacteria grow out of control. I always make sure I have bottled water with no chlorine or flouride in it.
Even though I am now cured of candida, I still take my TruFlora and Theralac probiotics with me where ever I go. I also take digestive enzymes daily.... plus a lot of other supplements. I need a suit case just for the stuff I need to drag with me.
I have to admit though... it is getting easier. There are many more restaurants serving more healthy meals and many of them will cook the food to order.
Getting back to how Candida Will Consume Your Life... First comes the Anti Candida Diet which is very, very limited.... but believe me.... IT WILL BE SO WORTH IT WHEN YOU ARE CURED. Here is How I Cured My Candida.
It has taken me over one year to really start feeling like I am going to beat candida. I thought so many times that I had it kicked.... and then.... something else would crop up..... so don't despair.... Keep on the diet and don't let any nay sayers push you around.
People would come up to me and say... you are getting really skinny.. you better start eating. WELL .... DON'T YOU THINK IF I COULD EAT.... I WOULDN'T... ??? I wanted to really tell people off and tell them to mind their own business.... but for the most part I kept my mouth shut and vented on this blog by writing what I was going through.
You will need to make sure you have a good support system because.... Candida is all you can think about and talk about. If you go to a restaurant with friends.... they are ooohhiinng and aaahhiiinnggg over their food... while you sit with a plain piece of chicken and a lettuce salad with no dressing on it because dressing makes you sick. They drink a nice glass of wine while you have your bottle of water. JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR!! Well..... you better get over that, because you have got a long road ahead of you.
I can now go to restaurants and watch friends and family eat my favorite HOT FUDGE BROWNIE SUNDAE and not even want a taste. I will never go down that sugar road again.

So, how has Candida consumed your life?
Update.... After going through all the above, I tested candida free..... but..... I still had a burning tongue. Eventually, I found I had Parasites. I have finished 2 parasite cleanses.
What finally completely go rid of my burning tongue was using a High Potency Probiotic. I had tried many other probiotics for the problem.... none worked. Once I tried the high potency one, my burning tongue went away in about a week.

I do not have Candida but do know an illness can consume??
kim
I had never heard about Candida until your blog, and am glad you have helped to inform me about it here and through your other post! Congratulations on curing yours!
Liesl :)
I agree candida can consume your life. But once you reach a certain point, it no longer bothers you as much.
You are right Sheree!!
Thank you for the validation! I have been on the anti-candida diet for a little over 3 months and it's tough, but I am feeling so much better. The tough part is feeling like I don't want to go out with friends - to eat or for happy hour - just so I can drink water while they eat and drink whatever they choose. After two years of being diagnosed with Lupus and not feeling better on the meds, I knew there was something else going on. And now I feel hopeful that I can feel better! I have many days where I still feel sorry for myself and know that I have to kick those feelings - that it could always be worse. But, it's good to know that we aren't alone and that it's important to help educate others. Thank you for your blog!
Hi Susan,
So happy you are feeling better. It takes awhile to completely heal, but you will get there.
Yes, buying the right food, cooking it, and even having to think about this special diet takes lots of time. I am about 6 weeks into the Candida diet and have been on "killer" meds for a month and have rashes on my feet and legs that drive me crazy. I hope this is the die-off and the toxins leaving my body. I believe I have a long road ahead. I have found one good thing, though, and that is that I am now educated about something I had never heard of before. I learned it all on the internet. Currently there are three people I know of that have unexplained uncurable illnesses, and the doctor doesn't know what is going on, but I suspect that candida is the underlying cause. All 3 are being treated with antibiotics, which is the worst thing they could do. I feel like I have my own secret to good health but I can't just butt into other people's business and tell them that I think I know more than their doctors. Doctors are why I am here today, talking about getting rid of candida. I spent 3 years coughing, had asthma that put me in the hospital for 7 days, and had sinus surgery. I had numerous rounds of Levaquin, Biaxin, Bactrim, Cipro, every asthma inhaler available, and had steroid shots and steroid pills, and IV steroids in the hospital to try to fix my problems. It has been a miserable few years, but when my foot broke out in blisters a few months ago, I did my own research on the internet and took it from there to find my own diagnosis, along with a new doctor who is "Integrated Medicine", and uses holistic methods instead of poking me in the butt with another steroid shot. For the first time in years, I feel good, except for the terrible itching, and think I have found my own cure and the explanation for my numerous illnesses. Doing the diet and taking the meds are absolutely worth it, even if it is a hard thing to do. Thanks for this blog.
Maxx,
It sounds like you took a page out of my mental book. I know all about Doctors. I spent two years listening to them when I could of been healing. They just have no clue when it comes to candida.
I actually had one doctor tell me that Herbs can kill me...... They almost killed me with their prescription medicatiions.. JERKS!!
Have you done extensive parasite cleansing? The rash is probably die off, but I did not heal fully until I did a few parasite cleanses.
I have a little die of rash on my chest right now. I am detoxing from heavy metals. Although I am better, it is probably going to be a fight to stay this way for the rest of my life.
I don't really eat special any longer... I just never eat sugar, not unless someone sneaks it in on me. Hate when that happens.
Hi,
Did candida give you hair loss?
lilynne,
I didn't get hair loss, but my sister did. Her herbalist told her hair loss is a sign of parasites
