arent alll the prodicts like black walnut and raw farlic ok to take anyways since garlic has been proven to be great for a measure of things just liek apple cidar vinegar ?also im going to give ur diet a try, just i love to eat bread and i also love relaxing with alcohol =(.I also read things get worse before they get better, liek the die off effect. But i understand what your saying. I also have had pains in like my upper right rib cage area like i guess where it starts on both sides but usually on my right side its been going on for years. Im worried its my gallbladder. It hurt the other day that i couldnt evem bend down. I also had this years ago and took a ultrasound and nothing was found, is there anything organically or vitamins i should take to help my liver and gallbladder. i take a multivitamin but im intrestedt in anything else natrually or vitamins i can take apart that can aid both the liver and gallbaldder
do you know if things like candidagone actually work, i have read that raaw garlic, pau d arko, black walnut, apple cidar vinegar, raw coconut oil, and other things like grapefruit seed extract and all are great anti-fungal natural sources, they shouldnt produce side effects like diflucan etc, anyways the candidagone and others like it have all these in the ingridents but i keep reading is that you shouldnt take all this things together and take one for about 5 days then change to another etc.I have candidia, I have leaky gut syndrom certain foods make me feel worse its clear now, also if i stay away from carbs like heavy bread and grains and sugar i feel great then i have bread and ill start getting pains in my abdomen ill get cramps corn like substance in my stool, heavy bloating and headaches and fogginess etc. That with all my other systoms and the toe infection twice now and the rednes sin my privates im convinced i do, any idea on thise products or if i should just change my diet best i can( althoug so so rough it seems like i cant be a regualr person) and also take one of those items then swtich every 5 days like ive read
The problem is you have already tried several antifungals and they had Azole at the end right? The Lotrimin's active ingredient also has clotrimazole (azole at the end) this means it is in the same class as the other ones you had. So it probably won't work. So if I were you I would go straight for the Lamisil (terbinifine).

i picked up lotrin ima try that for about tweo weeks then give lamisil a shot if no luck
thanks a million you have been amazing help means alot to me, any good brands you recommend ?
also i recently started a job and you would think my axniety would get worse, I have stayed away from sugar and trying to not drink and eat as many carbs( that feed candidia) and just like that my blood pressure is going down and my anxiety is vanishing without medication, also my severe stomach aches. I thinkn i started getting bad bacteria taking over since i took two bouts of anti biotics like 6 years ago in matter of one after the other.
can i apply terbinafine on the penis foreskin and my testicles. becuase i have used a cream on my finger nail and it goes away. But i have used three creams like nyastine or whatever is spelled and that hasnt helped my area in my privates that still look reddish and yeast life.
Well, you can have overgrowth of bacteria but we have normal bacteria that competes with bad bacteria . When you get an infection with a "bad" bacteria then it is an infection. You can get an overgrowth of a common skin bacteria that takes over if you have an abrasion or your immunity is low. Also, a change in environment. For example I just got a sinus problem. It isn't an infection as I don't have a fever and no pus etc. But I have a bloody nose for a week and yellow stuff coming out and I can't breath. The culture had mixed Staph bacteria (which is normal bacteria). I got it because I was in a hotel and my nose got dried out from the A/C. "some thing off set the normal conditions". I am now taking a topical antibiotic to get rid of the bacterial "overgrowth" and heal the bloody crusty sores. It is really a dermatitis. So you could have something like that but maybe it is due to a fungus such as a yeast or dermatophyte (skin fungus) . What happens is there is too much moisture from either not drying well enough in the groin or feet area so they call it joch itch or athletes foot etc. and you then allow fungus that is normally in the environment to grow where it doesn't normally take over. Also, washing too much gets rid of the protective fatty layer on the skin that keeps fungus from taking over. So, the thing to do is use Terbinafine, which the fungus isn't resistant to like the other Fluconazoles and so forth are. Make sure you keep the area dry and wash all towels, underwear etc . that came in contact so you don't reinfect yourself. It is possible that is what is going on. If not you can try a dermatologist.
i have im not diabetic, ok perhaps i dont have systemic but i have a candida over growth, too manysyptoms, no answrs i have been testes for almost everything and nada. Ive been told some doctors dont even believe in bad oer growth of bacteria
No I haven't heard of these treatments. Diabetics crave sugar. Have you been tested? They also get fungal infections. I still don't think it is systemic. Self medicating never is a good thing, especially without a diagnosis. It can make you a lot worse off.
someone told me to take virgin coconut oil for candida overgrowth says its fatty acids actually hurt and destroy the walls of candida. ever heard anything about this ? or what kind i should use i went out and bought it but like in cream type form. Its hard to take a tablespon daily, would this one work ?
but maybe not sytemic candida but i have to have somew kind of candida, depression, anxiety, headaches, toe and penis fungal infection, idk high white blood count. I havent had bad anxiety since i started rtrying to cut sugar and carbs out of my diet, i also did the spit test and failed.
I don't think you have one. But if you want to get tested you can get a blood culture done for fungus.
how do i address the fungal infection inside me ? the lamisil can work for outside but what about internally ?
thanks i will try, but i think that the fevers or feelng sick arent too bad but the tomach aches and the craving for sugar and now the headaches could possibly be candida, i need to still get it checked?
Yes that looks a little high but not too bad. You may have a bacterial infection or fungal. But I don't think it is systemic. Have you taken your temperature when you feel feverish? Since you don't have insurance why don't you try the Lamisil (terbinifine cream) and see if that works. It is different than the other creams. So, I hope this works.

my white blood count was at 13.22 and the range is at 3.4-11.00
How high was your white count and what was the normal range for the test? If you think you have an infection you should see an infectious disease doctor.
thanks for replying im really at lost with things and how my doctor has treated me.
I have been given three prescibtion creams of different types none have worked. ALso i work out and i have not taken anti anxiety meds for almost three months and i havent been able to sleep for a year and a half i wasnt on those meds before then. Also anything i eat makes me feel bad not as much lately but im really really eating differently. I have been tested for allergires, chron disease, ulcers and other stuff and nothing has been found. I feel like im going to get a fever and never do and i take advil when i feel that. I also had a blood test two done and my whote blood cell coun t was high. I havent had anything with caffeine for over a year i mean nothing, no soda no coffee not even excedrin. I did the spit test where you take water in the morning and then u spit into it and wait to see if it runs and has legs like wine or sits at the bottom, many blogs and forums state to do this, and it did also my stool has white flakes in it like garlic or piece of skin when you start to peel left behind after i flush, and sometimes peieces that look like corn, no i havent had corn.
systemtic candida causes: pain or tightness in chest, depression, mood swing, anxiety, pressure in head, dizziness, fatigue, lack of sleep, craving for sweet(which i have been fighting and dont eat), stomach pains, abdonminal pain, etc i have all of these, i dont know who to go see i lost my job just started a new one so i dont have coverage and im broke but still should i go to a hospotail since they can bill me and i can pay little by little. or a infectious disease speiclist.
Hi and sorry you are having all these issues. We are not doctors on here but I am a microbiologist and can try to give you some advice. So, regarding the rash on the genitals, you may have a fungus and not a yeast. Either way you may want to try a anti-fungal spray or cream that has terbinafine (Lamisil) instead of one that ends in azole like fluconazole etc. These types of drugs that end in azole yeasts are becoming resistant to. Also, often the groin and genitals get joch itch caused by a fungus called Tinea or another name is a dermatophyte. This cream should work on those too. You could see if the doctor can culture the area to determine what it really is. But in the mean time you can try the Terbinafine and see if that works. It takes about a week or two (several times a day). Follow the package directions.
As for anxiety in general, you may want to take a couple of courses in biofeedback instead of drugs. I took them from integrative medicine. They have great specialists in this. It takes some time to learn the breathing exercises but it helps your body change out of the fight or flight response and feel a lot better.
I don't think it is a systemic or blood infection. You generally would have a high fever and be very sick. If you had a blood culture they don't generally look for fungus unless you ask for that. They won't usually do it unless you have a high fever.
Your heart racing could be from the medications you were/are on or if you are off of the pills such as the Xanax, stress could cause some of this, caffiene and too much sugar. But then you could get a 24 hour monitor to check for an arrhythmia, or also get a echocardiogram to look for structural problems and an EKG just to get an overview of the heart.
I think your anxiety is keeping you up at night or if you are also having too much sugar or caffiene then this could contribute too. Try to do some relaxation techniques as I mentioned (biofeedback) also, relaxation meditation. This doesn't have to be regular mediation but they have CD's you can download and listen to that help you relax.
As for your bowels if it isn't blood I wouldn't worry about it if it is possibly blood get tested for at least an occult blood test. If you think it is blood then get a colonscopy. Bowel movements change a lot depending on what you eat, how much water, and yest medications can change things too.
take care,
