Hi All,

My name is , I live in Melbourne Australia.

Some 3 years ago I became Ill totally out of the blue. I was home

after work one night and collapsed, unconscious and was taken to

hospital in an ambulance. I spent 3 days in hospital where I was

tested for everything - but all appeared ok. Whilst in hospital I had

extreme diarrhea with tons of mucus - the likes of which I have never

seen before. White blood cell count was also raised.

When I got home from hospital the diarrhea continued so I saw my GP

who gave me antibiotics to take (I had IV antibiotics in hospital).

The diarrhea continued so I went back to my GP who gave me yet another

round of antibiotics.

By this stage things were going from bad to worse, I now had extreme

bloating, to the point I felt I could hardly breathe. I was becoming

sensitive to chemicals and I had brain fog, felt dizzy all the time

and disconnected from the earth.

During the remainder of that 1st year I saw many doctors and was give

many more rounds of antibiotics - but I only got worse. fatigue had

now became a major factor for me!

During the following 1.5 years I went on a dairy free, gluten free,

processed food free diet. Took MANY supplements and probiotics but

none of this helped.

3 months ago I started on a candida style diet. I am VERY careful

about the amount of carbs that I eat. I track my diet using the Fitday

program, typically I would have 70g of Carbs, 180g of Fat and 180g of

Protein per day. I am also taking antifungal herbs and Nystatin.

Yesterday I introduced a Probiotic.

Since starting on this new resume my fatigue levels and brain fog have

increased. I am finding it difficult to control my temper (I am

normally very passive), I have become soooooo very skinny. Muscle

twitching (legs calf muscles) is a big thing for me. It seems the

faster I am detoxing the more muscle twitching I am getting. I have

tummy pain and bloating as well. Since starting on the diet my stools

have been dark green every day and my urine pH has gone from 7 to 5. I

also note that in a recent blood test my liver enzymes have returned

to normal levels after being high for the last 2 years.

I think I'm on the right track - just need to persevere. In Crook's

yeast test I score 278 or 49%

Prior to getting sick I was an athlete - cycling. I hope to get back

to this once i rectify this problem!

Any advise or encouragement will be gratefully received.

Regards,
