My daughter has these problems and the doctors seem to take no notice saying its thrush, I really dont think they they are familiar with candida. where can one get the testing done other than through the doctor?

Hi,

you can use a company called allergy UK, I used them its £50 for a consultation and they test you for numerous foods and other conditions to. Its non invasive using an electrical current and your bodies resistance to see if you have an intolerance.

Hope this helps,

Emily

Thanks a million for this GR8 article.
 
Why does it always have to be so hard to get shared knowledge of stuff that can help people overcome their pains and sufferings.
 
You are a blessing and may you be blessed abundantly.

Thanks for the article! I'll add my two cents. Candida is responsible for a plethora of symptoms; the main ones: depression, anxiety, anger, white tongue, dizziness, ear aches, ear fluid, discharge, headaches. ear ringing...it affects every part of your system. I've been battling this beast for a year but am seemingly turning a corner now. If you want to get rid of it for good and be healthy: follow the diet exactly; protein, veggies (nonstarchy) fats, oils, herbal tea; a little coffee. No sugar, dairy, carbs, fruit, vinegar. Layer this with sauerkraut; which is the best, strongest probiotic and wont clog your sinuses with casein like dairy;also, all dairy has sugar. Also, eat vitamin b17 (almond seeds) you can get them at chinese grocery stores or in china town.

You have to change your environment in your body for your body to fight this off. It's a western disease which obviously relates entirely to our diet. After a while, eating like this becomes habit.

The yeast; if allowed to go out of control forever; your cells may turn cancerous. Most cancer patients have systemic yeast. So change your body's environment now!!

Um. Well... that was news I wasn't expecting when I got out of bed this morning. Funny how I'm on antibiotics and I end up with this overly furry white tongue, and last year I had a yeast infection at the same time as a bladder infection. For years I've had a white tongue but I've always dismissed it as poor oral hygiene. Never thought my diet had anything to do with it. I was planning on doing an overhaul on what I eat anyways because its time for me to get healthy and lose a few pounds- now I really have an excuse to get started!!

Wow, cant believe what I have just read, trip to the docs asap i think. I have always suffered with a white coating on my tounge and have always been embarrassed by it and lately after a course of anti biotics it has got worse that I feel I could gag on it sometimes. I also for years have suffered terrible headaches/sinus problems and generally feeling unwell and have been docs and been told I am fit and healthy! Lately my sugar craving has got out of control and unfortunatly there is a bakers across the road from my work. No more trips over there.

This is misinformation. Hairy tongue is bacterial overgrowth, and systemic candida is rapidly fatal, and only occurs is massively immunosuppressed people (cancer, chemo, etc)

I have a white tongue, but none of the other symptoms, don't eat that much sugar, and my one friend says it may be because I smoke, is that a possiblity?
