Hi, some quick background information:
When I was younger, I was constantly being prescribed Penicillin for Strep Throat.
I was practically finishing a prescription, then filling another one (usually, about 2-3 times per month).
Eventually after so much usage, my body became immune to Penicillin, so, I was then given Amoxicillin.
After four years of constant sickness, my tonsils were removed.
Being only eighteen, my body should be in its prime; however, over the past year, I have been experiencing a variety of ailments, such as:
Abdominal Discomfort (bloating, irregularity, cramping, indigestion)
Constipation, Diarrhoea
Yeast Infections
PMS, Mood Swings (typical for teenaged-girls, new to me.)
Allergies & Total Sinus Congestion
Persistent Cough
Eczema
As well as a constant need to drink (I became so concerned that I spoke with a physician about Diabetes).
I am physically fit, and try to watch my diet by eating healthy foods.
I have spoken to my physician, who believes that there is nothing wrong with me, and thinks I am overly paranoid.
Getting to the question,
i) Does anyone recommend a Candida Cleanse?
ii) How do I go about it? Specific Brands? At home?
*Note: I currently do not have access to my physician, nor a alternative health care practitioner.
Anyways, thanks ahead of time,
Ashlyn

I'm currently in yeast-cleanse mode which absolutely sucks because the anti-candida diet consists of NOTHING. I'm normally the biggest bread, pasta, fruit, dairy, sugar eater there is. This diet says basically you can eat vegetables (none with starch though), organic meats, eggs, brown rice, and well that's about it. I've been trying to follow it but I break it all the time. I don't see a way I can possibly eat just those things for months. I've already lost 4 lbs while trying to follow it and doing a crappy job at it. My friends dad just commented on it tonight, he asked me if I was trying to disappear what was up with me losing weight. Of course, I don't tell anyone why I've lost weight I just say that it's not intentional and that I eat. I only weigh 114 lbs now and that's not good!! I fear losing more weight, I never want to go back to being how skinny I was about five years ago (100 lbs). What are some foods within this diet plan that can maintain my weight? Foods that would make me gain weight would be even better.
