I am new to candida and also to this web group. I would like to share
my experience. About eight months ago I developed a crawly itchy
feeling on the my face. Then big huge red blotches appeared especially
around my eyes. I had long red rashes in the corners of my mouth...and
then the horror of a jock itch. I am female and the experience was
unbelievable. I went to my pri doctor three times and the first two he
gave me a prescription for a cream and then an OTC fungal cream. Well
it just sort of faded but came back on and on. The last time I went to
him he said oh I don't know what is wrong...better take and he
mentioned some pills..prednisone for one. Oh no!!!!! I went to a
nutritionist.She said perhaps Candida. Gave me a diet and in six days
all the rashes and crawly feelings have left. The diet consists of
eliminated all yeasts, sugars (fruit in moderation after three weeks),
vinegar,mushrooms,black tea MSG, citric acid. Take priobiotics, yeast
free and sugar free vitamins, caprylic acid, wild oregano oil and
garlic. I have a schedule for these pills alternating them. I just
want to share this with all of you. I am learning as I am going and
enjoy reading your posts.
