Strictly avoid carbohydrates and take 3000 micrograms of biotin (3 milligrams) per day for 3 days and see if any of your yeast infection symptoms improve. If symptoms improve, especially dramatically, you are probably suffering from a mycelial candida overgrowth in your intestines and/or circulation. Make sure your candida supplement contains sufficient biotin in divided doses and take with foods. From eric bakers page on dr wilson

intriguing.
I'm going to try it. I would like to know a good brand of biotin?
Posted by shoeless joe (Member # 45835) on :
Im going to buy some
I would like to know a good brand too
Posted by shoeless joe (Member # 45835) on :
It really has helped me. I've been taking it for a few years.
One thing to consider is that biotin will cause "dumping" of oxalates in your body. So if you are eating foods high in oxalates (It doesn't take much), then you will have symptoms of dumping.
That can get severe .. so you may want to Google it...and google foods high in oxalates.

thanks lymetoo
sounds like anyone taking atbx should be taking biotin
I eat 4-6 egg whies a day and I just read egg whites bind biotin
How did I miss this biotin thing all these years.
Hope and worth a try
Buy some tomorrow

Do you think no carbs includes veggies?
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I know, shoeless.. I battled yeast for YEARS without knowing this about biotin!
I learned it on the oxalate site.
gigi.. you need vegetables
Posted by bluelyme (Member # 47170) on :
Thanks 22...i have been on ms dose of biotin for rebuilding nerves but the oxalate thing explains a lot
Posted by shoeless joe (Member # 45835) on :
just starchy vegetables,no corn,no potatoes
Im going to start slow and see how my body takes the biotin before I jump in to fast
My system is so sensitive and I don't want any reactions,Im going slow at first

I have taken high dose biotin for a couple f years and do think that it helps to control the excesses of candida.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
shoeless... egg whites are pretty high in histamine.
Posted by shoeless joe (Member # 45835) on :
hmmmm,I thought if they were cooked they were safe,so many contradicting lists.
I know I have histamine problems,reactions to leftovers,tomatoes,strawberries etc.
Its near impossible to make an anti candida,anti histamine diet.
I shall keep trying.
Took my first biotin yesterday,5ooo mcg
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I ate egg yolks only for about 8-9 months. A few weeks ago I successfully ate two whole eggs.
I hope to duplicate that success again soon!

How do you get by restricting carbs? I have been restricing them, mostly, and have ZERO energy.
This is so frustrating
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Eat plenty of vegetables.
Posted by shoeless joe (Member # 45835) on :
jsnyde2,how long have you been restricting them?
Has it been just the few days?
You may be starting a diet off just by starving yeast.
Any other symptoms getting worse?
Posted by jsnyde2 (Member # 7888) on :
Tutu- I for some reason have been getting nauseated while eating vegetables, especially cooked. I can't choke them down, and it's not like I hate veggies or anything. Raw have been better. I suspect the yeast is saying "no, a donut, please."
Joe - Yes, I might be having a herx, started Pau D'Arco a few days ago and could be that and starving yeast. Have been restricting just for 2 days now, strictly.
I would love a die off -typically what happens for me is I cleanse, then eat or drink something bad before I am rid of the yeast, negating any good the cleanse did.
Posted by jsnyde2 (Member # 7888) on :
Upon further consideration, I think I am herxing. I feel EXTREMELY tired. When I take some detox stuff it helps. (Burbur Pinella, Parsley tinctures.)
Posted by shoeless joe (Member # 45835) on :
3 day of starting thing is right on track for herxing for me.
Third day biotin but just 5000mcg,go up another 5000 in a weeks or so and then go from there.
