I apologize for this being long. I have had off and on stomach problems for years, however 2 years ago this coming August, everything hit the fan. One minute I was fine, the next, two hours after eating lunch, I was having severe gas and bloating, which triggered a vasovagal like tachycardia attack. I had daily chronic diarrhea for easily 6 months, as well as daily tachycardia and palpitations, anxiety, loss of appetite and weight loss. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and have never been able to lose, but since this started, I have lost 100lbs. Stool tests were negative f ...

Is there still any chance this could be fungal related if both stool and blood were negative for candida, or could the high e-coli levels be the cause?

I think the heart issues are made worse by weak adrenals, which causes the autonomic nervous system to go haywire, or the messed ip autonomic nervous system causes the adrenals to become fatigued.

Hello Dr. Jeff, I was wondering in your practice if you have ever found trauma or extreme stress to be the root cause of things like Candida or even health problems in general. My doctors and I have exhausted every way for me to get well and I have shown 0 improvement on any condition I have, despite following all of the restrictive eating, supplements, and so on. Many know that trauma or stress can weaken the adrenals and can manifest in things like asthma, allegies, depression, anxiety and so on. But can the immune system go haywire and cannot figure out how to heal, if exposed to ...

I have no idea. I have been fighting this for 20 years, done the diet till the cows come home (which seriously being no enjoyment in life), the antifungals, been disagosed with other things that can be causing it, i.e. Mold, Lyme, etc. and am still no closer to relief. The only thing I haven’t tried is Rifing and I will be trying that hopefully in a couple of weeks. I just bought mine and my husband is going to set it up for me. A lot of people in my rife group are curing themselves this way, Lyme too.   [End]

My doctor gave me the glutamine to try and boost my immune system because of the Candida, yes, but also because I have Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr and other autoimmune issues. I also felt worse in it, like I was having a non-stop mild herx. He said that could be my immune system starting to ramp up, but I am just not sure.   [End]

There seems to be a lot of conflicting info around the net about it. Some say it causes yeast to flare up, other no. However my doctor started me on it and within a few days of taking it, I now have a bad yeast infection? I have stopped taking it to see if it will help, but so far no such luck.   [End]

I have been having horrible allergy issues. I live in CA where we do not have a true winter. It seems as if my seasonal allergies are now year round. When my allergies are especially bad, I get adrenal surges, heart palps, tachycardia, etc. Every so often I have the chance to go to the beach. While there, my heart palps and tachycardia almost go away completely, as does my anxiety, the surges and so on. I know that AF can make allergies worse, but can allergies make AF worse? Thanks.   [End]

Reading your symptoms list is like reading about myself, but I have been dealing with this for 20 years with no help. All parasite tests and Candida come back normal, despite having a positive spit town several years ago for Roundworm. Stool tests normal. Have been diagnosed with several things, but no treatment ever helps and I feel like I am getting worse, I am planning on seeing an integrative gastroenterologist who also practices holistically and am going to ask him about Protozoa. BTW, unless you use a specialized lab like Igenex, most Lyme tests will come back negative, if you h ...

I started on a low dose iodine recommended by my ND and have been tolerating it great. Anxiety and heart palps that I had before starting it have decreased greatly, which I am thrilled about.

I am finally ready to buy a Rife machine and wanted to know which you all would recommend. Some recommend GB4000, some original Rife, some Beck, BCX Ultra, Beam Ray and so on. My conditions are: Lyme, Mycoplasma Pneumoniae. EBV, CMV, HHV-6, leaky gut, adrenal fatigue, arthritis, a clotting disorder from the Lyme, past and possibly present issues with candida, parasites and heavy metals, and waitingmfor results for Lupus. I can spend more than 2k and the lesser the better. Tanks for any info you can recommend. Thanks.   [End]

I have been mag deficient for years, per tests, not to mention all of the symptoms. Also for years I have been taking CALM mag at night, about 400mg, worth. If I don’t take it, my cramps and pain get worse, but even taking it nightly does not ease them. I was recently told that you should take about 5 mg. per pound of body weight for maintenance, so maybe I have not been taking enough? I have tried glycinate, but could not tolerate it. Any suggestions?   [End]

I know there are certain rules about what can and cannot be offered as advise in this particular forum. so I will try and not get anyone in trouble or ask the wrong things. For years I have heard about the benefits of iodine but was afraid to try it. Eons ago, despite having no positive tests, a purported hormone specialist I saw in Texas diagnosed me with hypothyroid, with possible Hashi and put me on the lowest dose of Armour. My body flipped out and I went off of it. That was about 14 years ago. I never tried it again. Since then, every test for hypo has come back normal, even all ...

If you have candida you should not be eating fruit of ant kind. Fruit is sugar, and sugar is a no-no.   [End]

***UPDATE*** I just spoke directly with the company and they said the product does not contain dairy, soy or FOS and they have no idea why these places that are selling it are saying that or how FOS is showing up on images of it online.

This is where I saw it, under the ”warning” section. It is very confusing. there is the page I am linking here and yet other pages show now dairy. the soy component wories me too. Also, some labels show it having FOS in it and some don’t. If you google the name and go to the images section, you will see what I mean. http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/renew-life-ultimate-flora-50-billion-60-capsules/rw-1056#.VDwMVsu9KSM   [End]

I was very interested in trying the Ultimate Flora probiotic you recommended. However after reading it, it states it has dairy in it and that those who are on lactose restricted diets should not use it. I don’t tolerate dairy well at all and it makes my candida worse. Every candida expert I have ever spoken say to not eat yogurt or any dairy either. I have tried goat’s milk yogurt which I love and is unsweetened, but I cannot tolerate even that. It makes my heart race. I have used Custom Probiotics CP-1 that has 50 billion cfu’s but never noticed any help from them. Oh well, back to ...

I have been on a parasite cleanse for about 10 days. Before starting it I had daily diarrhea, but it would alternate with regular stool. Snce being on the cleanse I have only diarrhea now every day and horrible rumbling in my gut that cues me I need to get to the bathroom fast. It does have Senna in it, which I know can cause bloating and cramping. I do not have any cramping. Is this from the senna or could it just be a long herx? I have not seen any parasites pass either.   [End]

I have been on a parasite cleanse for about 10 days now. Today I passed a white gelatanous looking thing about an inch long. Even though it looks clear in the picture, it was white.

So why are you here then? You clearly don’t have a severe case because if you did, you clearly would know the difference and wouldn’t be so cavalier about having it. And the body odor? I can assure you that no one gets used to smelling that. They are just trying to be nice to spare your feelings. When you get sick enough from this, perhaps then you’ll be a little more mature in handling it.   [End]

I just reread khaksa’s quote on candida, and it is really eerie for me. I had this exact kind of relationship with my mom. I am not bitter in relationships, but all the other stuff rang true for me. I am going to show this to my EMDR therapist and see what she can do with it. I may just eat the money and buy the book. Expensive bugger.   [End]

Thanks for the review. I actually can relate to a lot of the emotional stuff, whether emotions caused the candida or candida caused The emotional stuff. Very interesting. I am working on trying to resolve past traumas. Interestingly enough, my mom died last year from cancer and all my health issues definitelt worsened. I do feel in my case that emotions played a pivotal role in me getting sicker. I am going to be trying EMDR which works at quickly releasing traumas.   [End]
