Can you herx from cutting back on sugar? The last 3 days I have cut out sugar but for my coffee. Today I really felt bad. Never have tested positive for co infections but was thinking it might be Candida dying off from lack of sugar is that possible? I was eating a ton of sugar.

Yes, probably candida die-off...
Molybdenum supplements can help...

You could do a step-down diet - cut out sugar but eat sweet fruit. Then when over the sugar craving, gradually eliminate the fruit.
You could also experiment with sugar substitutes in the coffee - stevia, lo han, xylitol. I tried them and don't like them, but some do.

Stevia (pure, NOW brand) works for me for coffee. It is extrememly sweet so just a teensy bit is enough.

Have tried stevia before, has a after taste I don't like. I have cake and brownies sitting on the counter driving me nuts.

The liquid stevia tastes terrible. I've had good luck with the powder packets like sweetleaf brand.

If you get the right brand of stevia it has NO after taste.
Die-off is good! Don't let the sugar call your name!
