Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 okay, my husband and i did the " spit test " this morning. we both had the results that suggest we have candida overgrowth. my husband i have suspected for years has candida overgrowth since he has not ever been able to lose weight, he has SEVERE psoriasis, joint pain, and a lot of the other listed symptoms. i, on the other hand, do not have a lot of the so called symptoms. i have had several yeast and bacterial infections just in the last year. this last one has been the only one i haven't been able to clear up. the only moodiness i've had has been as a result of being at my wits end from the yeast/bacterial infection. i don't have any of the other symptoms. so i'm wondering how accurate the spit test is. i mean, i know we all have some degree of candida that is " okay " in our bodies....so it would seem that even if you don't have an overgrowth that you would still show positive with this test. i know that in the last year, since going mostly raw, i have added a lot of supposedly good oils to my diet.....although all raw, i am now starting to see that they may be the problem. more olive oil, coconut oil, and lots of avocados....it makes sense that these are what is making the sugars of all the extra fruit i eat now seem like the culprit. i deeply appreciate all the information being shared. although very confusing...i think it is a lot like all the advice out there on parenting. you have to be able to step back and choose what seems instinctively " right " personally..........that is how i feel about this. so many different views, yet i am the one who has to choose what feels right for me. and trying each " theory " until i find what works FOR ME. so the fruits and greens and no oils sounds like the best route for me. but i'm going to start out with the monodiet first. i'm going to do bananas since they are the easiest. my husband feels more drawn to watermelon...which makes sense seeing as he has the severe psoriasis....the hydration of it all, ya know. again, thanks so much!! peace, la http://sssmommy.etsy.com http://flickr.com/photos/sssmommy/ Looking for a deal?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 okay, i know it didn't make a lot of sense did it. to say i have this symptom, but not ALL the symptoms doesn't really matter. i'm not sure if that was your point. i find your insight immensely helpful and gentle, which i appreciate...so if you wouldn't mind helping me see what it is i need to see in those words of mine, i would really appreciate it.
