Candida Detox health journey update

Well, today is Day 10 on my Candida Detox. It has been hard! Giving up dairy, sugar, caffeine, heavy starches, all vinegar and especially my soda has been very hard. The cravings haven't been unbearable though. The yeast die off symptoms stink. I've had a headache at least some on most days but at least no migraines. I also started my menstruation period a week early. I'm assuming from throwing my body into shock. Wasn't expecting that. I have seen an ease in joint pain and I also seem to be sleeping better at night which are both pluses. The extremely strict diet is over now, but still no sugars and I am to slowly add back in restricted foods. A by product has been that I lost 8 pounds in the past 10 days. Keeping up with all the supplements to get rid of the candida yeast, and get my adrenal glands and liver functioning right again is also a difficult task. I am on several that must be taken before I eat and several must be taken after. some are taken only twice a day and some are taken three times a day. I still have several more to add! There are a bunch. No, I won't be on them the rest of my life, just for a month or so...maybe up to three months. Then, by that time I'm hoping everything is again working properly inside me! 

Bob has been trying to do the candida free diet with me just to purge his body and try to lose some weight. He has good days and bad. He doesn't have the benefit of the supplements (which are exclusive to my lab works) to help with energy and stuff. 

Along with this, I have been dealing with a bulging c5 disk and protruding bulging c6 disk in my neck which has caused pain, numbness and tingling in my right arm, hand, shoulder and rib cage. I had to see a specialist. The good news is that he doesn't think I need surgery. I am using a neck traction device to relieve the pressure on the bulging areas to help the nerves. So far, it has helped alot since it first started. It is not completely gone but much better. I go back for a review on July 12. 

I know some are not interested in my good health journey but I hope to inspire some of you to check into seeing an FDN practitioner. (functional diagnostic nutrition) I can give you the name of someone who is good and who is compassionate towards patients because he has been through it all himself. It can all be done via telephone conferences and lab work being sent UPS. Just contact me and I can give you his name.
