I had joined this board a while ago because I had terrible IBS-C with major bloating and other weird symptoms that I knew somehow were all related.(toe nail fungus, headaches, fatigue, bladder irritation, constipation, eczema, sinus problems, ear problems, dry eyes and mouth....my list was long)
After much reading and research on my own, I finally figured out the root of my problem was Candidiasis (Candida).
The cause of the Candida overgrowth is a body filled with toxins which were probably gotten from a variety of sourses. Antibiotics, x-rays, flouride, pain killers etc.... you get the idea. My immune system was running poorly because of insufficient nutrition (probably from childhood), too much processed foods etc... So the Candida began to overgrow.
Despite any reserch theories that may be presented on this thread, I can tell you first hand that IBS and Candida are certainly related. Without a doublt.
Since I have been healing myself with a candida diet (low carb and high in GOOD fats plus ways of helping my body to detoxify itself) and getting my immune system back to par, I have noticed sooooo much improvement. My IBS constipation problem is GONE, my toe nail fungus has been HEALED, and all the other symptoms are slowly fading away.
It's amazing really. It may take a while, but I have found my cure. I encourage anyone lurking on this board to investigate the possibility that a candida overgrowth is causing thier pain and suffering.
Please feel free to email me at infoiv@innvisions.com if you would like to ask me any questions. I am so happy to share what I have found.
Best wishes to you ALL!
