Just thought I'd contribute a little story about my progress, hoping it will be of use to others.
It took me a long while to cut out the sugars, but I did it. The only cheat I do is pancakes. Just pancakes - nothing on them. I feel really good. However I find if I deviate, I feel like crap. Just plain crap. It's not worth it, so I don't whine anymore about what I can't have and focus on what I can have.
I started up the Pau D'arco tea, which has quite strange effects on me. For the longest time I thought I was hyper because of the sugar I ate. But when I cut it out I realized that I'm naturally hyper – the only difference is that there is no big crash. I'm stabilized and not exhausted - searching for the next sugar high. This is wonderful and I don't feel like I'm on a rollercoaster. The Pau D'arco tea makes me hyper and I feel like I am superhuman. I really do. It's weird. :)
However, as I started the coconut oil and the Pau d'arco tea my tongue has been covered with white stuff. I figured it was the toxins coming out. I'm on Nystatin as well. About three weeks ago the white stuff frustrated me, but I take it slow. It's all good considering the years I have been mistreating my
body. Now, I just brush my tongue and the white stuff comes off – so I brush my tongue three times a day. I need to do that anyways.
What has been challenging was giving up chewing gum. I have a habit, but when I saw all the additives, I stopped. Now I just drink water in place of that. Or if I feel like I have bad breath, I gargle or brush my teeth again.
It's hard for me to eat straight garlic because it burns my mouth. However, I decided to eat crushed garlic mixed in with my salad because it takes the edge off. As I have been off the sugar the garlic doesn't burn as much.
Let's see what else. I know I still have a long way to go. Oh, I lost those pesky seven pounds that were irritating me. I used to fluctuate from 125 to 130 but now I am 117, which is really good. This has helped my cycles in some ways. Still, my body is getting used to the changes.
As for the Bacterial Vaginosis – I was always in the doc's office every other month taking clindesse or some other crazy medicine like flagyl. Other women on the board gave great advice and I now insert acidophilus tablets in my vagina every evening. My vagina looks and feels like it's 19 years old again. If that makes any sense. It's such a relief to know that I don't have to worry about what's going on down there and I can focus on my recovery of candida.
That's all folks.
