Candida can certainly be a cause. The fungus overgrows in the intestines and putting down roots, causes holes. then the food proteins leak into the blood, which is why it's called "leaky gut syndrome". You react to all the proteins.

the cure can be rough, so you need to have a doctor supervise. the pills they give you causes the fungus to die off and when it does it releases toxins and you feel like you have the flu for a few days, but that's good, because it's being killed. then you need some probiotics to replace the bacteria-- these good bacteria will swarm into the holes in the intestines and fill them up. Then you avoid yeasty foods-- bread, beer, etc. Praying for you MM

The problem is getting a doctor who will go along with yeast treatment like that. Diflucan works the best. I was on it for about three weeks one time after a particularly tough case of oral thrush that someone FINALLY agreed needed more aggressive treatment and I felt MUCH better for it.

But alas, it didn’t last. And nobody would renew the Rx for it because it’s hard on the liver.

The other problem is getting the probiotics in me. Some of them I react to and I’d like to do that under medical supervision as well, until I know I could tolerate it. But getting that kind of one on one supervision for any extended time doesn’t come for the asking either.
