Hi does anyone else suffer from candida in the bowel? i am unable to tolerate any sugars or carbohydrates my diet consists of fish meat and some veg,and as much water as i can drink! and the thought of another Christmas coming up fills me with dread. i was diognosed with crohns in 2005 on holiday in France,where i lost right side of bowel due to two tumours ( both benign)although i had been ill since 1995/6, having done the usual round of doctors and hospitals all to no avail, when i lost 5 stone in weight one specialist told me to go home and eat a proper meal, so far i have managed to avoid taking any drugs Im terrified of the side effects of steroids as i know they will make the candida worse. i do take loads of supplements and try to avoid anything that causes allergic reactions, in the past 14yrs i have experienced remission once for 2yrs once for 9 months (a colonoscopy put an end to that,) and the last time it lasted 10 days,i dont know much about this illness or the drugs prescribed but it seems to me that eveyone who is on the drugs seem to be worse off. curly |
