I am newly "diagnosed" with having yeast and additional bad bacteria in my system.(so they say)
I have been suffering for years, being told this is IBS, and recently had some stool testing done. The trouble is, I am having a hard time reading the test results myself.
So how much candida is too much? does anyone know?
The test said that my beneficial bacteria was GOOD! (I credit that to Heather and the Acacia powder which I have been faithfully using for a year, plus probiotics). Now, I thought this "good" bacteria keeps the bad in "check". So if my good is VERY GOOD....why would the bad be a problem?
My Natuopath wants to put me on Uva ursi, Diflucan, and a special yeast free diet (ex: no sugar or food containing yeast. ), and to eliminate my exposure to mold.
A little histoy:
I Have have a host of problems that I believe somehow are all related! From sinus problems, to headaches, fatigue, anxiety, IBS symtoms (I am C), terrible bloating, skin rash, itchy skin around my ankles, sore and red eyes.....
I have been to allergists, and ENT etc... who have told me I have no allergies and no sinus problems......they all refer me to "someone else" because they don't know what is wrong.
My regular doctor was upset by the thought of me taking "Diflucan" as she said it has a host of serious possible side affects. So now I don't know what to do.
My regular doctor does not see all of this as being connected. She treats individual symptoms.
My naturopath says it IS all connected and that she feels I have an imbalance of bad bacteria which is causing it all.
So who do I believe???????
I don't want to take a fungal medicine that might "hurt" me.
I'm so sorry dear friends for this very long post.
But I am desperate for help and guidance.
Thanks so much for any input.....
