Cold Body, Cold hands and Feet...Very simply - Die off! you ate the Sugary foods, that feeds the candida and it grows like crazy, The next day the Candida dies off overloading your circulation...making you feel cold.
If you are constantly getting die-off/cold body there is too much carbs/sugars in your diet.
Stay off the sweets, bad carbs and do more Anti Fungals.
Depending on how long you have had it takes a long time to finally get better. I have been on the diet for over 2 years...but doing better each month.

Congrats. Being Strict and disciplined has paid off. SF722 and S. Boulardii are the two most effective products you can take against Candida. I am also taking these and seeing a lot of progress in the last 6 months. [End]

I had similar issue, The body moves candida toxins to the skin and scalp which can cause temporary hairloss. I had hair loss also on the top and back of my head. I has all come back now that my Candida situation is alot better.
You need to do more detox, Epsom Salt baths daily, Drink tons of water, Milk Thistle, Nettle Tea, Coffee Enemas are also a great way to detox. [End]

Does she have Candida, Parasites or other illness? I have Candida and I have the same symptoms. After doing Coffee Enemas
I get Cold Hands and Feet, its due to Die-off symptom. Your immune system more efficiently kills off Candida after doing a Coffee Enema...which overwhelms your body.
The first 2 months of Coffee Enemas I would get intense cold hands and feet, and would feel like I was going to pass-out.
But now after 3-4 months of doing them daily, I feel great, almost got rid of Candida doing these. [End]

I was precribed, 500,000 units 4 times a day. After 2 months the Doc upped it to 5 times a day. I took Nystatin for over 3 months....Did not see much progress. After stopping it my symptoms raged back..some call it Nystatin Rebound or could have been too much die-off. My symptoms were really bad 6-7 months ago.
When taking it raise the dosage slowly as you dont want too much die-off. Becuase you will end up worse...thats true of any Anti Fungal.
In my opinion Nystatin only works for some people,
Non-prescription A.Fs like SF722, Olive Leaf extract, Black Walnut, S. Bouldari, D ...

I have been on the Candida diet for almost a year now, Im thinking its Anti Fungals (I take SF722, Coconut Oil and recently started Diatomaceous Earth-Food Grade).
Since Coffee enema’s give me almost instant relief, I think my Liver or Kidneys is overloaded due to the Candida Toxins or Anti Fungals. Im going to stop taking AFs for a ...

I agree with the other posts, Steriods have more side effects than benefits. I also have had itchy red scrotum due to Candida Infestation.
For me Topical Prodcuts didnt do much, You need to treat it internally if it is really Fungal/Candida problem.
Message Dr.Erik Bakers Forum he is very familiar with this type of problem.
Personally I have never had any success with Nystatin.
Taking natural Antifungals orally have helped alot (GrapeFruit Seed Extract, Black Walnut, SF722, Garlic, Olive Leaf Extract). Along with Good Probiotics. [End]

Hi Dr. Barker,
Your advice has helped greatly me get further along with my Candida overgrowth.
I have another question..
Im am currently on very low carb diet, (No fruits/sugars) I eat 20-40grams of carbs a day, sometimes less. I get my calories from Veggies, Fatty acids, lots of meats.
I noticed the Candida is weaker and Anti fungals seems to be more effective with the low carb intake. Seeing progress slowly.
The only set back Is anytime I get mildly angry, nervous, excited, even happy...I get a spike in my Blood sugar levels,and the Candida gets fed and my symptoms return. ...

Wow...How do you know for certain its Sacchoromyces Boulardii?? Its very rare to have that strain as a problem. I had a CDSA (Comprehensive Stool Test) and the results came back with same yeast you mentioned. But My doctor said its probably still Candida since Stool test doesnt always pick up the actual Candida. And the results picked up S. Boulardi since that is part of your normal micro flora.
So I am going with the theory thats its still Candida.
Everyone is different but I didnt get great results with Nystatin, I was talking 2.5mil units per day for 5 weeks.

The most dangerous part of anti-candida treatment is when you think your are completely cured, becuase you dont have any symptoms and you go back to the normal diet too soon. Thats happend to me a number of times, and Ive been on the anti candida diet and anti fungals for 8 months now.
If you have had Candida for all your life, I would be very suprised if its gone in only 2 months.
If candida symptoms are gone completely, my Natureal Doctor recommends 2-3 months of continued strict diet, and lots of pro-biotics/fermented (Saurkraut, Kefir, Yogurt) foods to re-colonize the gut and c ...

The Dr. Jeff is correct.
I used to take Adderall for ADHD/ADD. Once I started to do the plan and treat the candida overgrowth, I no longer have severe ADHD problems. I took Adderal for over 2 years...I belive it had role in my Yeast problem...Adderal can lower your immune system. Ive stopped talking Adderal before treating Candida. Also Adderal is a strong stimulant, namely it depletes your Adrenal Glands.
If you ask me the many side effects of Adderal, outweigh any benefits, as you will find searching on the internet. [End]

Wow...Thats terrible. Hang in there, Luckily you found out Nystatin isnt for you quite quickly. How did you get a mold infection?
My Natureo doc had me take the stool test, and it said I have Candida yeast. The sensitivity test showed Nystatin was effective, in addition to other Naturual Anti Fungals.
But after three weeks, my Fungus became resistant to the nystatin. And I know the difference between die-off and worsening symptoms. So I stopped.
I may have a non-Candida Albicans strain? And now even with a more strict diet of no carbs, tons of antifungals, my symptoms are comm ...

Coconut oil does help. Ive been taking it for months without any issues (Unlike Caprylic Acid pills which can aggravate if take months on) It has no side effects and doesnt effect your Flora. I buy a Jar of Extra Virgin Coconut oil at the organic market, and just eat several table spoonfuls throughtout the day. I also use it as cooking oil. Its very good for you.

(Anti Candida) Low Carbs, No sugars. Protiens (Eggs, Chicken, Beef, Fish), Salads. Brown Rice in small amounts, occasionally Corn torillas. I drink Tea, but no coffee.
I think stronger Antifungals affect my liver?, Taking Both SF722 and Nystatin at same time may have been too much.
Im just taking SF722 and GSE, Garlic now and seem to be doing ok. I think I may add Nystatin back in lower doeses? Ive also been doing nystatin retension Enemas which have helped alot. [End]

I guess SF722 is particularly effective on my strain of Candida Fungus. In the eight days Ive used SF722 for me I would say its far supurior to Caprylic Acid or GSE.
With Caprylic Acid, I really felt nothing good or bad, but continue taking it since everyone recommends its benefits.
Additionally I took your advice looking at your other posts, I take betaine HCL pills along with the SF722, and digest alot of Olive Oil. So that may be aiding the progess.
I agree that just one product is not a good idea, I will take SF722, GSE, Caprylic Acid to cover all strains of this.
