Hey mary88! Wow, really interesting post. My heart aches from reading this :( I have to say, I don't think I have anything to tell you that you don't already know, and since you are certain you have candida, you should resume the diet you had when you got rid of it the first time. Remember: If you got rid of it once, you can certainly do it again! Stick to diet and exercise, girl, just be sure and adopt it as a permanent change rather than a temporary one. BEST OF LUCK, MARY!!! :)
