Dizzy, Forgetfull, and zoning out
My 16 year old daughter has been experiencing dizzy spells, zoning out, and forgetting things from just yesterday. She has already had a MRI, EEG and blood work. All fine. Dr wants her to fast, draw blood, give her a special sugar drink, than recheck her blood. Seems Dr is at a loss, do you think they are looking for diabetes? she doesn't show any of those symptoms of diabetes. Any ideas?

Should she indeed get diagnosed with Candida, I think a PEG urine test
might be the next logical step (along with a comprehensive anti-candida protocol), to rule out Leaky Gut Syndrome, a common consequence of
untreated Candida.
I hope this helps.
