What are the symptoms? Are these common? Are they diagnosed by a doctor? >> The symptoms are similar, but not identical. Don't forget that parasites include the microscopic organisms as well as worms, and that tapeworm is a worm. Also that that very strictly speaking, candida is a parasite, and for that matter, so are viruses and bacteria. But to the point. Both candida and many worms cause constipation. Other worms, however, and most of the microscopic organisms cause diarrhea. Sometimes constipation and diarrhea can alternate. A tapeworm will cause weight loss and often very excruciating pains. Many other worms cause weight gain. All intestinal parasites and candida will cause bloating. Candida and most worms will cause sugar cravings. A pretty sure fire way of determining whether your symptoms are caused by candida or not is the following: if the symptoms flare up on muggy or rainy days and then abate somewhat on dry days, you probably have candida or perhaps some other fungus. Intestinal candida is also usually accompanied by some other visible fungal outbreak in or on the body--vaginal yeast, athlete's foot, oral thrush, etc.--sporadically or continually. An indicator of worms can often but not always be a metallic taste and dryness in the mouth, which to my knowledge does not happen with candida (unless it is complicated by a severe blood sugar imbalance bordering on diabetes). Candida and parasites can all cause fatigue, mood swings, depression, irritability, mental confusion, memory loss, excessive hunger, abdominal and back pains, gas, b.o. as well as increased susceptibility to sore throats and other infections due to decreased immune function. These symptoms sound just like words; they don't sound so severe until you have them. Then they are. In theory all the various intestinal conditions can be detected and diagnosed through laboratroy testing but in reality the state of testing is sorry indeed. Great Smokies Lab is still the best.

I have read a lot of stuff on the Internet but can't seem to find anything that is very definite. A few of my questions are: #1 I have heard that the hepatitis B shot may or may not have something to do with getting Autoimmune Hepatitis. What is everyone's feedback on that? #2 Are there any things that are especially good or bad to eat? #3 I would also love any knowledge that you guys would be willing to share. Thank you, Celia Mason 1) Hepatis vaccines don't cause AIH. People with AIH are usually given hepatitis B and C vaccines, as they wouldn't be able to handle getting another liver disease. 2) Most doctors say that nothing is particularly good or bad for people with AIH to eat, but that it's very important to have good nutrition at this time. Calcium-rich foods will help prevent bone loss caused by Prednisone treatment. (Calcium tablets with Vitamin D should be taken, as well.) If there is advanced cirrhosis, specific diet recommendations will be made. 3) I'd suggest you start with "Hepatitis and Liver Disease -- What You Need to Know", by Dr. Palmer.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Dear Dee Dee We live in Indianapolis (where the running joke is: there's 2 seasons in Indiana--winter and July!) and my Kate (7--dx. at 3 with severe poly and AVN of hips) is extremely weather sensitive. We often know of rain or cold spell a couple of days in advance by her " behavior and pain " . I've sometimes thought of moving to a warmer place but quite frankly can't afford it and don't want to leave our families. About the only thing we do is " go with the flow " and try to be prepared in advance for weather flairs. If we know there's going to be a drastic weather change coming--then we try to take things easier, get a little extra rest before hand, and maybe add a few extra stretches to her pt routine. During cold and or wet damp days we try to keep her dressed warm and again don't let her overdue it. Unfortunately we have no control over the weather and I know with her even in the hot days of summer when the humidity changes from one extreme to the next it still affects her. I wish I could give you some solid answers but the only thing I've learned with this disease is to take things as they come! Best of luck with what you decide to do. and Kate (7 severe poly and AVN) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Dee Dee, It's funny you should ask about cold weather. As our way above seasonal temps have flown south as of early afternoon. We left for church this morning weather a balmy 57. Left church at 3PM, with a cold front having moved in. Abbie went from no pain to severe pain in her knees. We spoke to her doctor about weather 2 weeks ago. He says there is no clinical proof. Oh well, I guess we know what we know. As for the weight, we are on the other end of the spectrum. Abbie has grown 2 inches and gained 40 pounds in the 2 years she has been sick, but she has always been on more prednisone than 2.5 mg. She is currently on 30 mg and 10 mg every other day. Right now it has helped from where she was last month, but I see symptoms coming back again. What a heartbreaker. All we can do is just take it one day at a time. Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Re the cold weather, we're lucky. We live in Arizona. I really do believe the warmth makes a difference although I've heard the key is really barometric pressure. We just had our first cold (for us) spell this week. Huge difference! never complains of pain, but she's been having lots of trouble walking in the a.m. She actually admitted yesterday for the first time she couldn't walk because her legs hurt too much. She wanted me to carry her. She'd been in remission so long I'd gotten away from making sure she wears warm jammies to bed all the time, but I'll make sure she does from now on.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Georgina, Abbie is on 25 mg mtx subq, 300 mg Celebrex, 400 mg Planquenel, and folic acid. I think what concerns me most is that an amount of prednisone that did wonders a year ago, now doesn't cut it. I guess that's what the doctor meant by saying she was steroid dependent. She's gotta have her " fix " , and her need just gets greater. Thanks for the warm thoughts. They will help keep us warm. lol Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I spend my summers in my good times and have it rougher fall and winter and spring.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Tess- the best advice I can give you is to check out s Moritz book " key to health and rejuvnation " for its food and eating advice. this is not a candida diet per se, but it is the eating information that I allowed me to heal and lose candida overgrowth permanently. I never believed in the candida diet as a cure, its really just to avoid symptoms (and everyone has a different version anyway). if you are interest at all in moving beyond things like the candida diet, I can't recommend that book enough. you can download it cheap from www.authorhouse.com. g > Thank you, everyone, for the great information!

The leaves have a naturally occurring sweetness. I for one think it is bad to use stevia as it can induce sugar cravings. Honey & maple syrup should be avoided until your gut is under control and then only in careful moderation. Remember these are my opinions and people vary greatly!

I > have read that I > can have chamomile, peppermint, and pau d'arco tea. > These are dried, > too. So, I'm wondering what/how/huh?!? -I personally have not stopped eating any dry herbs and have noticed no reaction or problems with them. I definatly drink herbal tea every day *yum* > 2. I have heard yes to raw nuts and seeds, no to > raw nuts and seeds- > but yes to roasted. Any clues? -I would say NO to roasted. Roasted has been cooked and so there is nothing beneficial about eating them (not as much as raw anyways) people may have said no to raw because they have enzyme inhibitors which may cause indigestion. It is normally best to " sprout " raw nuts and seeds (soak in water for atleast 12-24 hours) This gets them to start germinating and the enyme inhibitors are deactivated. Plus they have 10x more enzymes once you have soaked them. > 3. I have also read no fruits, but then I've read > organic lemons and > limes. I read that oranges have mold on the rind, > so wouldn't other > citrus fruit? -some people may have allergic reactions to citrus fruits either from over consumption or due to the fact that oranges are often picked too early and the green citrus juice isn't really very good for us. I'm not so sure about mold on the rind, most people don't eat the rind anyways. > 4. Lastly, stevia... if it doesn't contain some > sort of sugar, how > is it sweet? I have been reading people's posts on > maple syrup and > honey, but I'm not allowed anything with sugar (per > my practitioner) - > including carrots and beets. -Stevia is a plant that is naturally 200times sweeter than sugar. It contains no fats and no calories. This way you can easily sweeten things with a very minute amount. My N.D. allowed me to eat any natural sugar: honey, maple syrup, and fruits, but no refined sugars: fructose, glucose, sucrose, molasses, cane sugar and cane juice, dextrose, etc. The refined sugars have little to no nutritional valu eleft and steal vitamins and minerals from your body just to be digested. Honestly, what it all comes down to Tess, is how you feel. Normally after eating something, I can tell if my body is pissed off about me eating that food. I will get a headache, vaginal or anal itching shortly after, sinues block up, cramps, bloating, flatulance, etc. You really need to learn to listen to your body to hear what it is telling you. I ate a pretty normal diet while balancing my system. The elimination diet taught me to listen to my body and really feel the symtoms of certain foods. So I just avoid the foods I know that really bother me. In time I will try the foods again and see how my body reacts to them. *8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi Shania, I think the worst symptom of die-off I had was " brain fog " . My thinking was totally screwed up, some days I couldn't even add 1 and 1, my memory was completely shot, both short-term and long-term. (Nothing like going to the store and forgetting what you went for.) :-( I would think you'd notice something. I had die-odd symptoms to some degree with oil of oregano, GSE and Candex. You're not supposed to have severe die-off symptoms with Candex, but I did have a little. I always considered the die-off symptoms a good thing; they told me something was working. I could not use dairy products or anything with a lot of sugar in my early stages of handling candida. In fact, it was Ovaltine that gave me the idea something was wrong before I even knew what candida was. I'd drink a glass of it and really feel bad the next day. It has all the things you don't want to consume if you have candida - milk, sugar and malt. That was a year ago. I've been doing pretty well lately; I might be close to having it handled.

My allergies are horrible, which I'm hoping is part of the healing crisis. My mood has been positive and my sleep has been pretty good (both of this went in phases before though, so I'm not sure I have a good baseline to compare to). > When you talk about trying different foods, to see how your body reacts, what are you looking for? > > I know patience is a virtue, but I've been impatient my whole life! > > Shaina > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi, It sounds like it's pauciarticular JRA meaning 4 or fewer joints.Your little one has a wonderful chance of just outgrowing it someday. Right now the arthritis is active so giving an after lunch dose of Ibuprofin is ok.You will most likely find that after the apointment with the ped rheumy they increase the dose way more then the bottle says for fever or pain or switches to a differant NSAID(non steroidal anti inflamitory drug). If it's just 1 joint involved they will most likely want to inject it with a local steroid.Don't worry this is a good thing and it will either be given under general or concious sedation.All concious means is eyes are open but nobody's home,the best way to go if it's done right,especialy with a young one.Way more then just Versed.Next step would be to add a drug called Methtrexate. I hope you have a great apointment with the rheumatologist.It will be a long one so if you can find a friend to watch the baby it will help. Another thing is you need to make an apointment with a pedicatric opthomologist ASAP if you haven't done so already.A common type of eye inflimation is very common with pauci and poly children.There usualy aren't any warning signs and if left untreated can lead to loss of vision and/or blindness.

At one time I tried having some and found it was way too strong for my body to handle and I didn't have candida at the time. My naturopath said that many people cannot tolerate them well. Also, depending upon the type of sea vegetable used they can contain too high amounts of certain trace minerals, i.e. iodine that will throw off minerals balances in the body. " More is not better " . > > what do you think about liver, kidney cleanses etc as an important > part of strengthening our bodies to be able to elimate candida > infection more efficiently? ==>I believe they are too harsh, releasing an overload of toxins into the body at one time. Instead I recommend doing enemas using coffee, antifungals and probiotics. The diet in itself is very cleansing and gradual so the body is not overwhelmed. > our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said black seed oil > has a cure for every illness. if you know anything about this oil or if you could look into it i would appreciate your opinion. ==>There are many herbs, oils and products which claim to cure illness, but I believe that giving the body proper nutrients is the way to heal and overcome illnesses. There are no quick fixes. Some herbs, oils, spices and supplements can assist, but it isn't good to confuse our bodies with too many different things either. The best to you, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact one the best things the body does do is get rid of heavy metals, but it needs enough good fats and proteins to do it, i.e. ratios of proteins to fats to carbs as recommended in our Candida Diet Folder.
