Candida symptoms can be confused with mercury symptoms, because they are often so similar. What one person experiences may not be the same for another. A good way of finding out if you have problems is by going on the diet and seeing if the existing symptoms get worse, OR you develop symptoms. Either way, this can be a sign that existing overgrowth is beginning to die off and your body is trying to detox.

That is a good test to do. It is very hard otherwise to test for candida and many apparently get false negatives. If you have candida overgrowth, you may find yourself getting worse when you get on the candida diet. It may take a few days for it to hit you though. You can get headache, tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, increase in itching (private areas especially) and worsening of other symptoms.
