bex I already am taking some psyllium supplement with probiotics and fruktooligoscharides and it does help a bit, yet it didnt seem to help enough still during the chelation. Think probiotics are great to control yeast when actually u DO have a lot of territory for the good bacteria in the first place. But when most of it just covered with candida ull just get nasty die off, and there's possibility it will be releasing somehow some mercury into the bloodstream and I dont think its a good idea with ALA.
If that wasnt enough my folks yet AGAIN told me they STOPPED believing me and arrogantly told me "its all in your head" and "you can eat everything" - and mum implied she knows there is stuff from my DONT EAT list that is in the foods she prepares and since I eat it means I CAN EAT NORMAL STUFF. Yet she mockes when I say "and ure surprised I keep fighting yeast.
sorry had to get it out. this is all f* unbelievable.
Yes, I've had nasty symptoms from probiotics in the past but I didn't even need them as much as now. I've had antibiotics since and I've never recovered from that one week course. Two years ago it was. Amazing. So I'm thinking I may need to try probiotics, but take them longer term this time and hope for some implantation of good bacteria.
Apparently there are things that can affect gut bacteria like caffeine, so that's gotten me thinking to. This maybe why when I have coffee, I relapse completely and have to start from scratch (though it doesn't always happen). It's never worth the risk. I have tea alot though (black tea), so perhaps I need to lessen or eliminate that also. I've not noticed as much of a problem with it, but I'm concerned after reading about caffeine.
Well, I"m just sorry you have family members who don't really believe or support you. That stinks. If you can Jinx, prepare your own meals. I have to. Nobody will do it for me unless I'm bedridden and even then I have to pretty much ask for certain things to be completely kept out of it. Thankfully I got support and understanding, you do not.
I hope you can gain a little when you get on here.
I don't go to any great trouble getting meals. I am tired, so I just do eggs or fry up meat and add some raw vegetables, or I may stir fry some. But nothing is added but salt and i know what's in there.
The little you maybe getting within the meals your Mum prepares, maybe affecting you or at least hindering you further. You have to have these things completely out of your diet in order to start improving. Even then for me, it takes around 8 weeks before improvement shows up. During that time, I just feel basically as bad as usual and put up with cramps, nausea and other symptoms that continue in a cycle that seems never to end.
All this after virus and other infection. I never battled candida like this Jinx, even with amalgams. Even very poisoned with mercury, candida was a problem but manageable with a basic diet that never had to be as strict as it does now. The combination of metals and infections for me has been devastating. We still need to find a way to chelate though, because any reduction in such toxins, regardless of existing infections should be of "some" aid eventually. Though easy to say, as I now have big problems excreting toxins and responding to chelation and other efforts.
