Has anyone had Candida? And what symptoms did u have?

[alexa1]

Hi. I was explaining to a collegue about the way I have been feeling for a long time now.

Reacurring thrush
fatigue
depression and anxiety
bowel problems - diarrhea with mucous and then constipated
dry mouth
swollen stomach (could be the constipation causing it though)

Anyway, she said she suffered candida and that it could be that. The candida bacteria can live in the intestinal area, but if the body is out of sync it can spread to other parts of the body causing numerous symtoms, some of those I have mentioned.

How do I find out if I have this condition and what is the treatment for it?

Thanks for Any advice?

alexa,
happy birthday!
it isnt alcohol that you are avoiding, it is yeast from wine and beer. Small amounts of distilled drinks are ok. (vodka, brandy, whisky etc)

Do go to someone like Dr Ray Choy and get the full picture though.

Thanks fistfull - as regards to the alcohol I only drink wine. I don't like spirits at all, so it is going to be hard for me to give it up.

I phoned a Homeapath yesturday. She is going to send me some information in the post, so maybe I will go down that road, see what happens.

i suffer from recurrent cystitis from e.coli always after sex and candida. don't know what to do. sick of treatments, antibiotics and vaginal creams. my life is a fucking disaster
