Hi all,
I started induction last week, within 4 days I was in severe pain. I also had the runs and horrible cramping. I thought it might be a stomach bug or just the change in diet ... but have since learned I have Candida, or at least I'm pretty sure I do. I did the saliva test this morning and it reacted all 3 ways that indicate Candida.
Also, as soon as I ate bread and sweets, the cramping, pain and runs stopped. I felt much better within a day of eating the way I use to.
I'm off induction now ... and plan on going back on tomorrow. I've done much research of my own .. so far this is what I have:
I'll be eating only: turkey, chicken, some beef (steak), certain veggies, a few eggs here and there, butter, lots of water and a WEE bit of cream, along with Stevia here and there for a treat. Oh yes, and some cocoa for the cream on occasion.
I'm also going to buy Coconut Oil and start taking and using that.
I'm all ready taking a multivitamiin, C, B-complex, Omega-3 (salmon oil), CoQ-10. Need to add: Calcium/Magnesium and maybe potassium.
The reason I think I should use a bit of cream, is because I don't want to deprive myself completely and also thinking that I don't want to go into such rapid and deep 'kill off' as fast as I did before.
NO cheese in any form. Not sure about mayonnaise or salad dressing.
Does all that sound good, or is there other things I'm forgetting to add, or something I might want to think NOT to eat?
I want to do induction properly, but ... not so sure induction is even GOOD for me, with Candida, since the pain was so intense last time.
Suggestions? Ideas? Comments? Opened to all!
Thanks,
Diana
