Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I am not certain. I think candida can become an illness all on its own. You can get an otherwise relatively healthy person that may have a temporary health setback, or has been given a course of antibiotics or has been using birth control pills for a prolonged period of time or something else, which may create an environment for the candida to flourish (when it might not have normally been able to do that). If that person continues to consume their everday diet as per normal, they may find themselves becoming and then remaining unusually sick and not knowing why or what happened and then ending up in a cycle of symptoms unable to break out of it. Once candida takes hold, it can be pretty tenacious. People who are healthy otherwise may not have too many problems getting it back under control with diet etc. Someone else with a more long term problem from some other issue aside from candida, may find candida an ongoing problem and may have more problems getting it under control if the other issue isn't permanently dealt with. This is just my take on it though. . Someone else maybe suffering from a long term problem> > I HAVE A QUESTION IS CANDIDA A SICKNESS ALL BUY ITSELF OR IS IT THE > CAUSE OF ANOTHER DISEASE?

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I HAVE A QUESTION IS CANDIDA A SICKNESS ALL BUY ITSELF OR IS IT THE CAUSE OF ANOTHER DISEASE? Im " 19 years old " and they say it only happens too people with weakend immune system due to other diseases Im so young and feel like im sufering with this disease ..Is anyone in the group just suffering from candida and no other diseases (diabetes etc) ==Hi , I am also 19 years-old and am just suffering from Candida. I'm not quite sure how I got it; I have never taken large amounts of anti biotics. For me, I beleive it might have been due to poor nutrition. The irony is though that I always tried to watch what I eat and never at things that were " fatening " . But I think i o.d'd on artificial foods (I.e.: artificial sweetners, and other chemicals to make 'food'), which probably lead me to where I am now-Although I stopped using artificial sweetners months ago, and . A naturopath told me I had it about 5 months ago, so I've been working really hard to fight it since. For me, my symptoms are only in my stomach area: extreme bloating, weight gain, constipation; but I'm pretty sure it was also responsible for my depression. But Bee is great, I joined this group about a week ago, and since then I've already seen a 30% improvement.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 > > I HAVE A QUESTION IS CANDIDA A SICKNESS ALL BUY ITSELF OR IS IT THE > CAUSE OF ANOTHER DISEASE? Hi , Candida albicans is present in everyone. It grows out of control when the immune system is weakened. It can contribute to a host of symptoms and illness. You'll find a thorough explanation of it in Bee's article " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " which you received when you joined the group. If you didn't keep the article, you can find it in the Files at our group website. It's in the first file folder after you click on the " Files " link on the left=hand side of the page. / jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi , I certainly do not have diabetes, HIV, or anything else but candida and all it is doing to me! And my symptoms go back to around age 11, when a high carb diet and hormonal changes set in. Don't worry - be grateful that at age 19 you already know what to do. Your immune system can heal itself under the right conditions. +Corinne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are very young , and you have a whole life ahead of you. Even though it does take time to build up your immune system naturally, you now have the information to keep it that way for life, so you are far ahead of many others. I'm glad we've helped you. It's onwards and upwards ! The best, Bee > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
