Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Yes, I also have OCD, and it got worse at first on this diet, but now it seems to be getting much better. I think a lot of it is stress and anxiety, and also no longer coping by eating myself into a carb-laden stuper. Feel free to email me privately.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I have OCD, I believe it is related to my PTSD. Are you just comparing notes Emma or are you doing some research?

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Shirley! I guess a little of both. I have OCD and candida and the epstein barr virus and copper toxicity and simply wondering if any others have in particular OCD. I have alot of symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder also, I too believe they are linked. Has anything helped you in regard to these things in particular for you? I rather feel like I'm going nuts. A tortourus beasty. Thanks for your response. > > I have OCD, I believe it is related to my PTSD.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi , Thanks for replying. Does being on a candida diet help with it at all? Do you find they are related???? I'm unsure, but mum is convinced the OCD is related to having high levels of candida. ~Emma > > Emma, > > I have OCP. > > > > > [ ] OCD- please help > > > Candida Support Group by BeeI saw talk on this link a few weeks go about " mind tricks " and I'm wondeering if anyone here has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? > > Please reply to eln@... > > (I have this beasty). > > ~Emma > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Emma, I find that I am calmer on the anti-candida diet, and that my OCP is a defense against feeling afraid. I am usually unaware that I am afraid, and so, my defenses are also invisible to me, or, at best, a mystery to me. As I can feel my fear, and not be in my head so much, and feel the feelings under the fear, usually sadness, or helplessness, dispair, loneliness, I can see the defenses lessen, and feeling calmer, and safer, which the diet helps me with, helps me acheive this. I've had terrific moments since starting this diet, feeling like I was nineteen again, and I've had horrible feelings, like I was going to die, like I was losing my mind. I'm trying to learn, and start practicing Qi Gong, to cultivate inner peace, and calm. I got books, and audio, and video tapes from the library to learn it. Couldn't hurt to try the diet, etc, and see what happens..... Good luck, [ ] OCD- please help > > > Candida Support Group by BeeI saw talk on this link a few weeks go about " mind tricks " and I'm wondeering if anyone here has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? > > Please reply to eln@... > > (I have this beasty). > > ~Emma > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 PS I notice that sugar, and other diet no-no's make me anxious, but, since I've felt anxious so long, that feels " normal " to me, and feeling calm, or sad, or feeling at all, feels " abnormal " to me. When I'm in crisis, I reach for sugar, or a cigarette, or (decaf) coffee, with cream, and sugar, and sometimes a drink. But these put me back in a state of fear, but it feels more normal than the peace I'd begun to cultivate, which hadn't gotten to feel " normal " yet, on a gut, or knee-jerk level. Eventually I'll know that fear is not the way I want my life to be mostly made of, and peaceful calm will become my " normal " , that I'll cultivate/go to in moments of crisis, but not having experienced that growing up, I do what I saw modelled, and what I experienced, what I became conditioned to, which is to keep myself afraid. After I started on the diet for a week, or two, I cheated, and became so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open. I had some decaf with cream, and sugar, and half an olive wrap, with a flour tortilla, and a couple small cookies. I'd done this countless times before, but never noticed the sleepiness, and confusion, because I had nothing to compare it against. Now I did, and wow, what an eye-opener. Also, I had a candida rash, which I was prescribed an anti-fungal/steroid creme for, and had die-off reactions. It felt like I was going to die. Anxiety like crazy, dizziness, nausea, sweats, shaking, heart pains; I went to the ER, but, after learning what it was, and that I could have some influence over it, helped me through other small bouts of die-off. I breathe into my hands, to dialate my blood vessels, and try to relax, use calming breathing techniques, such as Qi Gong, and do exercise, and steam, whilrpool. Anyway, best of luck with it.
