I'm just now coming to grips with my candida overgrowth, researching more and realizing this is exactly what has been making me miserable for the last 15 years. But, of course, I wasn't thinking or paying attention when I got strep throat after the new year. My Dr. prescribed penicillin and I didn't think twice. Well after taking the meds for 10 straight days the strep was gone, but now I'm sick again feeling like I have the flu. Upon further reading, I found out that i just gave all the yeast in my body steroids...ughhhh kicking myself right now, but really excited about seeing this diet through and paying lots more attention.
