About 7 years ago i was diagnosed with candida albicans in the gut by a nutritionist.
I had had skin problems for years and once she put me on a special diet and supplements it finally cleared up (long, expensive process that took about 18 months).
However i had to give up all sweet foods including sugar and imitations of, honey etc etc, even fruit for a couple of months in order to starve the candida and kill it off.
Supposedly i was supposed to stay of the sweet stuff for good, except fruit which i am allowed.
Having little will-power i am now back to square one. The last couple of weeks i have been waking up with a stomach ache down the left hand side of my belly, where i know the colon curves round. I thnk it's a warning sign that i've messed up my gut and so i am now considering going back on the diet.
Is anyone else battling with candida? I need a diet buddy and some support...i do love my chocolate
