Candida overgrowth - can it be diagnosed as Fibromyalgia? - Candida Message Board

Hello everyone!!! I am very puzzled. The more I read these posts and research my problem which is either fibromyalgia or chronic myofascial pain, I keep on coming up with Candida overgrowth and its effects on our bodies. Has anyone been successful on a candida diet that has actually taken away their aches and pains. I was also reading a web site where a couple swear by going off of "all" sugar for 21 days that it has cured their fibro. Has anyone checked into that or tried it. It seems too easy to be true!!! This is all mind boggling what putting into or not putting into our bodies can work on our joints. There are products out there that are supposed to cure yeast infections and I wonder if anyone has tried any of these with good results. I am not sure if I can say this without the moderator taking the name of it off but there is something out there called "Threelac" for candida infections. Has anyone heard of it?
Thanks

Hi

Thanks Jeremy and April for your thoughts. I never thought of what dropping sugar all together would do to your system!!!
April, what is "yakult" I have never heard of this. Is it some kind of yeast medication?
Thanks, Lyn in Michigan

Lyn,
It's very comman to find candida overgrowth in most anyone anymore because of the "typical american diet". It certainly affects the way you feel. I just came back from a clinic that specializes in fibro and the M.D. there said that they have found that most everyone coming in with fibro has an underlying virus or bacteria or both root problem. This is not the info your going to find out from most docs. They took 16 vials of blood from me and are doing some very extensive tests. I should know the results in 2-3 wks. Then they work with your specific problem to help you do better. I think that's why so many people never get better because they never get to the root of the problem. I have taken really good care of myself. I eat organic, eat a low sugar diet, and take great supplements and still I wasn't getting better. i have learned that because we all have fibro symptoms doesn't mean we all have the same thing. That's why I think some people do better than other's. It's a very frustrating experience.
