Web-Weaver!
I have had Candida myself and it sucked! I craved suger like crazy, I would eat it and I would get start burping instantly (my gas smelled like mold), my joints would hurt, fatigue, memory loss, lack of concentration, anxiety attacks, insomnia. I new something was wrong. I fasted for 15days at a time trying to cleanse and restore my body.(I was using fruit juices and felt worse than ever) I tried the Candi-Gone cleanse (by Renew Life) and it did NOTHING! It's a cheap cleanse I found out. I tried the most expensive probiotics ($2.00 per pill) to find they were not coated to make it to the colon and were digested before being effective.

Here's what I did to feel normal for the first time. I followed the diet in a small book by DON COLBERT, MD. called The Bible Cure Recipes for Overcoming Candida someone gave to me. I'm not going to beet around the bush. It was one of the most difficult things I have done. No sugar including fruit, no yeast, no dairy, no alcohol, no coffee. Meat and veges only and water. I felt like I was dying. Yes, it's that hard. The candida can survive on the smallest amount of sugar. It must be COMPLETELY eliminated. I would go for days or weeks until I caved in, ate bad stuff, felt horrible, and then went back on the diet. I did my best for three months and it was gone!

You will want to keep taking your probiotic through all of this. As you know it's what will be keeping the candida away for good.

To get the now dead mucous out of your body you want to do a cleanse such as the Supreme Cleanse by GIAI. You will see and feel it come out and that yucky sticky heavy feeling in your gut now will be gone. This cleanse may be repeated up to three times in succession per season(the body naturally wants to cleanse during the changing of the seasons).

At this point if you have fatigue, poor memory, lack of concentration, restlessness, insomnia, emotional intolerance, or low blood sugar symptoms you will need to nourish your adrenals with GIAI's Adrenal Fatigue capsule blend. (Candida and Adrenal Fatigue tend to go hand in hand, do you have a history of stress or abuse?)

There is more at this point if you are still feeling not optimal... you may email me.

As far as the allergy side of things I don't have any personal experience. From what I've studied and in my natural health network we are of the understanding allergies are caused by toxicity.
