Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hello, I'm new. I don't know if I have candida or not, but I came across something that made me think it might be my problem. I wonder if someone on this list might be able to tell me what they think. I am doing a program called " Eat To Live " right now, and have been experiencing lots of benefits. But I do notice that I feel lousy after eating certain foods, even though they are healthy: pears, raisins/grapes, pineapple, cashews, peanut butter, carrots, mushrooms, dates, apples, granola, tofu, bread/pasta. What happens is, all my energy goes away and I feel like I'm getting an upper respiratory infection, or I get allergic symptoms like itchy throat, itchy eyes, etc. and my ears get clogged. And for the rest of the day I have to force myself to get things done, because I want to flop down and lie flat all day long - no energy. I usually feel best first thing in the morning, which lasts until I get too hungry and eat something, after which I feel worse for the next several hours, or the rest of the day. But I notice that some foods produce no symptoms, or even help me feel better: all legumes, brown rice, leafy green vegetables, squash, poultry, tilapia/salmon, broccoli. I have random other symptoms, like IBS and joint pain, but I can't tell whether those are caused by the same foods that cause the whole feeling of being lethargic or getting sick. Do you think I might have candida? Does it run in families? My brother had it bad when we were kids. Thanks and happy to be here!
