I want to share true experience from a friend to motivate you dealing with candida.
It is about acne problem and candida.
She was diagnosed with candida in September last year.
She had probably had it since 1998 or so though.
That was when she started taking a lot of antibiotics.
She took things for Strep throat and Tetracycline for Acne.
Her doctor had been giving her Nizoral for two week intervals.
When she went off for two weeks she took Nystatin.
For the first 3 weeks, she didn't eat any sugar, but then she started to cheat.
Now she doesn't eat what she did before she found out she had Candida, but she still eats sugar.
She used to be really thin, probably due to the Candida, she now has hypothyroidism and has gained about 70 pounds.
She would love to lose it, but she has tried about everything and can't seem to do it.
When the doctor first diagnosed her, he took 3 different blood tests.
In the one test, when the number should have been below 100 to be normal, hers was over 600! She was taking a Kenalog shot every 8 weeks for her allergies.
She had to take the shot or she would get sick and need more antibiotics.
She is wondering what is harmful in allergy shots.
Also she would like suggestions about acne and candida.
In my opinion, stay on the diet the best you can.
You will have to try to cut sugar out of your diet.
Lysine is good for acne and cold sores.
A good natural source of Lysine is in quinoa.
Otherwise, supplements work, too.
