candida & M.E - or just candida?

[jonp]

hello,

i have been ill for 20 months. I seemed to start with a bad virus, and i just have not recovered since.

i suffer from the classic M.E symptoms - but the worst for me is the spaced out feeling and dizziness. Im worried as this is a major symptom for candida too.

I was actually diagnosed with ME, but for the past 8 months ive been having bad stomach problems. Its started with a burning feeling underneath the left rib cage, and on some days the pain was very bad when eating. Its calmed down now - i had anti-acid tablets for like 3 months. But now im left with food always repeating on me, huge amounts of gas and wind and i always have this white scum around my teeth and gums (worst at night and when i wake up).

I had blood tests done by my Gp for bacteria in the stomach(would this be candida??) and they were fine.

I am now waiting for an endoscopy of the stomach, as a barium meal test showed i had too much acid in my stomach - but the docs dont know why.

Could all this be candida, or related to it - and nothing to do with ME? if so what can i do to rule it out?


i have stopped eating the following:

onions
vinegar
greasy food
caffeine
chocolate
mint
lots of sugar

is there anything else i should know??

regards Jonathan

Well. Not sure about ME. But i think the bacteria doctor is checking is most likely H.Pylori . Candida is present in almost every human being. Some people just have it more but doctors dont treat that unless you have another life threatenning issue which is getting worse due to it. Ask your doctor is he checked for H.Pylori. It causes peptic ulcers and things as such
