Re: New Member-1 more question?

[Guest guest]

Molly,

If you can give up sugar completely for three weeks,

so your candida can begin to be controlled, your sugar

cravings will diminish considerably! . . .

In other words, the toughest part is at the beginning

.. . . It's going to get easier all the time.

Concentrate on what you CAN eat!

Hugs,

Rogene

Rogene

Does that mean juices too, like apple juice? I seriously need to do this.

I am really disgusted with myself. My husband's boss said to take me out to

dinner on

him, to celebrate my passing bar. We ate Japanese and then had dessert!

Ugh. I can't let something like this blow everything,.

So I am starting over,. I want to do this right. Is apple juice out? Fruit?

I know my life depends on it. Not only the weight - which is more than I'd ever

dreamed I

would have to lose, but also the diabetes.

I have whined about this for a long time. I know I sound like i have no

willpower,,..

but I have quit other things - I stopped smoking, for example.

This is it. I will not live the rest of my life this heavy, and miserable.

Rogene,

I had constant ear aches, that finally drove me to an Ear Nose & Throat doc.

She said there

was evidence of multiple ear infections....she told me there was still stuff on

my eardrum

which she cleaned off. That still did not clear up the earache.

I also was having vertigo. She finally did a bunch of tests and concluded that I

had

vestibular nerve damage. My neurologist said that was consistent with MS,.

The ENT prescribed Nystantin but the stuff she wanted me to take was not covered

by

insurance, SO I paid a huge price for it, and could not continue. It did not

help,

presumably b/c it was not enough. I have no idea why she felt that her

Nystantin pills

were 'better' and why insurance wouldn't cover it. I do find it interesting

that she

prescribed Nystantin at all. She is from Rumania, and has an accent that makes

it difficult

for me to understand what she was saying! Ironically, she is a friend of the

man who first

warned me about the breast implants. Anyway, Dr. Kolb prescribed Nystantin

that is

covered by insurance. God bless her. Now my internist will prescribe it also -

she

wouldn't before. I don't know why doctors have such a serious problem with

prescribing

Nystantin.

It's like most of them don't believe in systemic fungus.

It is so weird.

I never had any serious health problems in my life, nor did I ever have weight

problems,

more than 5 or 10 pounds I always battled. Then all of the sudden, it seemed,

my life just

became a nightmare. Then I started getting hives, and went into anaphlactic

shock. That

was about two months before explant. I really thought I was going to die.

Now I am dealing with something I can control - the food I put in my mouth - and

I am

struggling with that! I need to put it in perspective.,

I;m rambling...sorry. I am just freaked out about all this. Still.

Exactly, Darlene. I have not taken it as seriously as I should, and put it off.

Now I know I can't do that anymore.

I have to stop and stop the sugar NOW. Not until the next time we go out to

dinner.

;-(

Well I may be whining some, about this. But I am going to do it. I have been

able to do a

lot of things in my life, through determination. Surely I can do this too.

I read about Meinere's when I was trying to figure out what 'vestibular' damage

meant.

I wonder how much of all this is related to silicone, and why...

Wouldn't it be nice if someone would do some serious research on this? Sadly,

money

interests will probably prevent that.

Hi Darlene,

No chance convincing her. She got her silicone implants the day after it

was announced they were being taken off the market so she knew full well the

problems associated with them. I talked to her about my getting them in

March and then my subsequent change of mind after I joined this list. She

didn't understand. I have always been the health-conscious sister, eating

right and exercising but she doesn't understand that either because I don't

have weight to lose. She thinks I am obsessed with how *I* look because I

go to the gym three times a week and have for years. She isn't happy with

her body and will do what it takes to " fix " it, health problems or not.

Hi Molly,

I see Rogene hasn't responded to this yet so I thought I would since you're

getting started on your diet today. Juices are definitely out, especially

apple because it contains so much sugar. Carrot is especially bad too. If

V-8 has a lot of carrot juice in it, I'd steer clear of it too for a few

weeks. The best drink is water or water with a bit of lemon in it for

taste.

If it makes you feel better, I know misery loves company, <g> I have cheated

more than I should have over the summer and have flared my candida up again.

Today is my first day of eating absolutely clean with no sugar. I wasn't

eating much sugar but a little was enough.

Thanks Kenda! It helps to know I am not alone, at least!

I will stay away from the apple juice, too. I will have to look at the V-8 - I

dont even know!

Water & lemon I like.

But this is not going to be easy. And I know what you mean - a little sugar and

the

candida flares up!

Hi Molly,

I eat a kid's portion of ice cream every weekend as a treat at Maggie Moo's.

My meals are great, no cheating but I have been on a Starbuck's kick since

early summer, having it two or three times a week. Of course I don't like

regular coffee, it has to have skim milk and chocolate in it -- and I'm sure

plenty of sugar! I had ice cream this weekend and Starbuck's yesterday and

that's it for me -- for now. I'll allow cheating later on but I'll stick

with the kid's ice cream, no Starbucks at all! Even though my overall diet

is still very good, this bit of sugar was enough to flare my yeasties up.

Hi Rogene,

They check dogs' ears for fungal infection often because their ears flap

over the ear canal, creating a warm, moist environment for fungus to grow.

Our ears are open and receive plenty of air so one would assume we are less

prone to fungal infections in our ears than are dogs.

Hi Molly and Kenda . . .

I've been at pottery class all day . . .and

demonstrating/teaching wheel throwing to kids over the

weekend. . .

Sugar is a demon! . . . But you can beat it!

Eventually you'll be able to enjoy sweets occasionally

guilt free. The key word is " occasionally " . I recent

had a flare after having two small deserts a day for

five days!

Fruits are out for the time being. After you quit

having sugar cravings, occasional fruit is ok. . .

There have to be some fruits that are not high in

sugar, but I can't think anything except grapefruit

and lemon right now.

I'd hazard a guess that you'll be able to control your

diabetes by diet alone before long . . . so keep track

of your sugar level carefully. With diabetes, you've

got every reason to get your diet in order!

Hugs and prayers,

Rogene

[Guest guest]

Hi Rogene!

You must be feeling better!

The funny thing is that I don't even have sugar cravings -- ever. My family

goes out every Saturday or every other Saturday for ice cream and I eat it,

whether I want it or not. Stupid!! It's the caffeine in Starbucks, not the

sugar that I'm after and I don't eat other sweets. I have a bit of female

yeast but no other systemic symptoms. I am done with Starbucks and have

sworn off ice cream for a while too. My suspicion is that I am yeasty

because of hormones, rather than diet but am eliminating sweets anyway

because it's time. I won't eliminate fruits because of the other health

benefits they offer and they haven't caused a problem for me in the past.

Molly,

I think the problem many doctors have with prescribing

antifungals is that, when fungus dies off, it leaves a

toxic byproduct that can damage the liver. It's

important to follow a good antifungal diet, and to

drink a lot of water to avoid liver damage.

It appears that when " The Yeast Connection " came out,

the fact that the public beat most of the doctors to

the concept of yeast, also put a stigma on the

problem. . . Doctors who started treating for yeast

were considered to be practicing medicine " on the

fringe " .

I'm convinced that many people gain weight because

their body is storing toxins. Once one begins

releasing those toxins via exercise, sweating, etc.,

the weight begins coming off without a great effort -

assuming they are following a health diet.

One good book is L.Ron Hubbard's " Clear Mind, Clear

Body " . . . I don't go for his religious views, but I

figure everyone is entitled to one good idea! He talks

about how people regain their life after going through

their detox program of sweating.

Hugs,

Rogene

[Guest guest]

Molly,

Something you might try, when you eat that occasional

guilt-laden dessert, is to increase the amount of

probiotics you are taking to offset increased fungal

growth.

Hugs,

Rogene

[Guest guest]

Sadly what you say makes a lot of sense. It's too bad, since doctors

theoretically are

supposed to be first concerned about their patient's health. But we know that

is often not

the case.

Today is Day 2 for no sugar! It is very rainy - a tropical depression over the

Bahamas is

giving us clouds and rain. I have been sleeping a lot - very tired. It is noon

and I just

woke up. I sleep fitfully at night, waking up many times... so maybe my body

just needs

it. I am going to stretch soon..

Going to make a spinach salad. And have tuna...

You don't have to convince me that sugar is a demon! The trick for me was

getting to a

point where I could stop it. I think I am there.

Just a word of caution about the tuna. I used to love it and ate it

several times a week. I had a mercury level when I was hair

tested. I no longer eat tuna. Now I will only eat Vital Choice

seafood ---salmon. Theirs has a virtually undetectable mercury

level as well as for other contaminates. I get their canned salmon

and make it like tunafish--but in mayo and whatever else one might

put in tuna salad. My daughter can't tell the difference between it

and tuna and loves it!

Hugs, kathy

Hi Molly,

I fought the cravings when I first gave up sugar several years ago, and they

were horrible! You'll get there in two or three weeks.

Hi Molly,

I developed memory loss and mental fog from eating too much seafood from a

fish market here. As soon as I stopped eating it, it cleared up -- proof

to me that it was mercury. Like Kathy, I order all of my seafood from Vital

Choice. They deliver it to your house flash frozen. It's very convenient

to use, all servings of fish are individually wrapped. When you want to

cook some, just soak it in cool water for about 10 minutes and then cook.

It's much better tasting than grocery store seafood too.
