How long will it take to get rid of candida overgrowth?

Sometime in September I woke up feeling beat, nauseus, and overall, weak. Started getting panic attacks and a diarrhea with intense cramps. I was rushed to the doctor, who ordered stool and blood tests. They all came back showing nothing. Did a pelvic and uterus scan, nothing. Did an endoscopy and colonoscopy, which showed nothing. Biopsy also nothing. I was then told I have Irritable bowel Syndrome and gastritis and put on some medication.  I was not getting any better. Turned to alternative medicine. The Dr I saw told me I am suffering from candida overgrowth. put me on a candida diet and gave me some supplements. My biggest concern is that I am suffering night urination, just one of the candida die off symptoms. I have always had this problem though, and the doctor says it was always caused by candida. When will I shake it off? Help????

This is the Autoimmune Disorders Forum and I don't think your case has anything to do with Autoimmune issues.
It doesn't matter though. I will still answer your question.

For each year from the onset of Candida , which  usually BTW happens to be unsymptomatic in the beginning count approximately 1-2 months of treatment. .
Taking therapeutic dosing of coconut oil (5-8 Tablespoons daily- but increase it gradually starting at 2T) in your cooking, drizzling over vegetables and salads etc., could  possibly help with night urination issues , other candida symptoms and general health problems. Coconut oil has anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.

Best wishes,
Niko
