I am on the diet since last friday. My > problem is that I am constantly so very hungry after I eat something Are you truly hungry, or is your body crying out for the food you used to eat? I get cravings sometimes that seem like hunger, but it is just my candida crying out for sugar and processed food. Those cravings do get better the longer you are on the diet. If it is truly hunger, then it might be your body's way of telling you that it needs more nutrients. I can only speak for me, but I have been programmed since childhood to only eat at " dinner " time, and to ignore hunger, or placate it with whatever junk is in the cubbard. The initial hunger was my body's way of telling me it was happy to finally have whole nutrients and that it was craving more! So now I eat when I am hungry, and if I get hungry again an hour later, I eat again. Just as long as I am eating good, wholesome, yeast free foods, I eat.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 When I first started on a candida diet (can't-eat-it diet. Ha Ha)I too felt like I was starving. Not just physically hungry but also a deep hunger, like my new foods weren't clogging enough. I wanted something that wouldn't burn up so fast. I have since realized a few things. 1.Cravings will make you feel this way as your body goes through withdrawals for old " trigger " foods. 2.As soon as your body is alleviated of the burden of these old foods it will turn to the task of cleaning house and repairing itself (like Hanida mentioned, your body needs nutrition in order to do this) and 3.Some people are fast metabolizers and a veggie soup and chicken salad burns up a lot faster than hard to digest processed foods. After a relatively short while, about two weeks for me, my body got used to this and maintaining this way of eating felt a lot easier. My best advice is to eat, eat, eat. As long as you follow the candida diet guidelines. It will help you to not feel deprived. Also, eating a lot of fiber will help you feel full longer and it is great for your intestines as Acidophilus thrives on fiber. It requires a lot of discipline in the beginning to get in the habit of eating a health supporting diet. I promise it gets easier. Also, regarding other supplements, I use capryllic acid but I believe it has similar effects as grapefruit seed extract. I'm so skeptical of anti-candida supplements, I've spent a lot of money on them over the years and haven't had as much luck with them as I was " supposed to " . I take the viewpoint that candida isn't a disease, but a sign from your body that it is worn down. After all candida exists in small amounts in a healthy digestive tract. It takes over only when the body is worn down. We are all aware of the things that tip the scales in candida's favor; antibiotics, birth control pills, high sugar/simple carb diet,stress, low gade infection, fod allergies/sensitivities, poor detoxification... the list goes on and on. Anyways my point is that anything you do that supports health will tip the scales back in your favor. We all deserve to feel well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 Hello, I have had great success with colloidal silver for earaches - just spray it in while lying in bed - after 15 mins or so turn over and do the other ear. Also I just read that Hydrogen Peroxide 3% can be used for the same purpose. Doctors say that earaches are dangerous and topicals don't reach the middle ear - yaddayaddayadda - but the silver has worked for me and every kid I've given it to.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Anybody have any clue if a low Vitamin D level has anything to do with PA? It was low last time (low normal is 32, and mine was 20- something.) and I started the Vitamin D supplement the rheumy prescribed. Now, it's down to only 13! I eat plenty of cheese and yogurt and ice cream, and drink a glass of milk about 5 times a week too. I will admit I seem to be having somewhat of a flare in my hands...although they feel better on day 4 of a Medrol dosepak. My sed rate and CRP are both slightly more elevated too. The rheumy is having me double the amount of the supplement he prescribed, but since it's fat-soluble, I'm kind of worried....I don't want to turn around and get Vit D toxicity either!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 One very important facet of Vitamin D metabolism is sunlight....Have you had much lately? Actually, I never get much sunlight exposure. Unlike most folks who say the psoriasis lesions respond well to sunlight (I guess from the PUVA and UVB rays in it), I am extremely photosensitive. Prolonged sun exposure for me leads to intense itching and all sorts of rashes. I dunno if I have a sun allergy, or what. So I try to get most of my Vitamin D in the diet (lots of dairy and fish and so on.) It's never been a problem before the past couple of months though.
