Thank you again everyone for your help. This sure takes a lot of toll on my emotional, thank goodness there is this board with fine people like you folks.
I started on a healthier diet yesterday in preparation for the removal. Being an asian, I eat mainly white rice daily. I switched from white rice to brown rice. I'm waiting for my bowel cleanse supplement to come in so I can start on that. I will also do a parasite cleanse maybe 2 weeks after starting the bowel cleanse. I also think it best to cleanse the liver/kidney/galbladder out before the removal. My theory is that get as much toxic out of the body as possible to handle the incoming contamition from the removal. From what I gather so far, candida can be hard to get rid of if parasites exist. Parasites also dump a lot of toxic into the body. Basically, getting rid of the parasites will make it easy to get rid of the candida. Any suggestions with what I am planning to do guys?
No worries TT, people here enjoy helping others. That's my experience
Wise move to change from white to brown rice. I didn't do too well on too much rice as I recall. But I did eat it as a "rice cake" (or should I safe rice wafer - sugar/gluten free).
As long as you oust the sugar/gluten/yeast products from the diet, you may find improvement from that alone. Some may need to go further and restrict the high carboydrates more too, but it's best to do the wait and see approach. I once did just fine on this alone.
The cleanses sound like an excellent idea. It's a good thing to do in case these other issues are also at work. If you do have parasites, yes the cleanse will likely make things easier for you. Remember, the diet is not "just" about candida, but about overall immunity and increasing health for the body. So even if on the off chance you didn't have "candida", you'd likely still gain benefit. But if you do? Then you'll find that out as well because those with candida may find they go through a "die off" phase. This is where excess candida growth can begin to die off (reduce) because not only have the foods that it thrives upon been restricted, but also the immunity gets stronger and is able to put candida into more normal balance.
