Hi, I'm 15 years old and I'm now almost
certain I have Candida. It all started
when I was 12 and I think possibly even
younger than that. But around 12 I started
getting really bad acne and I would always
say I would have trouble breathing. It
wasn't really that bad just kind of
annoying. They put me on a couple inhalers
and allergy medication and what not ,but
none of that seemed to help. Around 13/14
I get bronchitis a couple times and I take
antibiotics to clear it up. I was also
allergy tested, but they said I didn't
have any serious allergies. Then I start
getting chronic sinus infections. The
doctors would put be on
antibiotics(amoxycilin), it would clear up
and I'd feel better ,but would go right
back to just feeling bad. I've also seen a
neurologist who also said everything was
fine. Around 15 I'm starting to notice
that I'm always tired and I can't keep my
train of thought to save my life(or get
half decent grades) and I'm always
irritable and anxious especially so when
I'm hungry. I've also gotten random cases
of diarrhea out of the blue after eating
perfectly healthy foods. The thing that's
killing me right now is the fatigue and
foggy thinking. Oh, and headaches.
Headaches like nonstop. I feel like this
all the time now and I can't function to
save my life. So I'm basically always
sick. And just to throw it out there when
I seem to start feeling worse my acne
seems to break out really bad. From what
I've researched on the web it seems like I
have Candida. My diet before realizing
this as a possibly was pretty bad ,mostly
junk food. So now I'm trying to take a lot
of the junk out of my diet to see it that
helps. I'm basing what to eat of the
information I attained here. I'm
going to see the Familty Practicer of
Friday and explain to him my case.
So really what I need to know is: is it
likely I have Candida?
and if so
How should I go about treating it in the
long term and the short term?
