Hi Joe, you're welcome. I'd ditch the spit test for now and do the diet. The fact you get symptoms when you do the diet, shows you have a problem and it maybe far worse than you realise. May also have a lot to do with what you are going through.

It is not easy, symptoms get worsen initially before they improve. Moodiness is one of them. You will get grumpy, you may even get tearful, depressed, anxious, anything at all can occur whilst the body is trying to clean itself up.

The diet needs to be stuck to, it's not one you can just cheat on. The body, given enough time on the proper candida diet, can then begin to start improving/repairing. It takes will power, patience and effort.

Don't be discouraged. You will find you crave sugar also (if you have candida) and at times you'll feel lik eyou are starving, when you are not. That's because it needs food to survive and if it finds it is starting to starve, it will do all it can to get you to consume sugars in any form.
