As someone with nerve pain as my worst symptom, has anyone been given an explanation as to how excess yeast or yeast die-off can cause nerve pain - particularly stinging, itching, zapping sensations?
I deal with burning almost all of the time, but the crawling, itching sensations come and go - sometimes don't have it for weeks at a time or longer.
Have had awful stinging sensations lately and adult acne has worsened, so I'm thinking there might be a yeast problem? However I don't have the white tongue or other sx's of yeast.
Anyone been given a reason how yeast can affect the nerves and what should be done, apart from dietary changes (I do love sugars and carbs).
Thank you kindly

- What you describe can be from lyme - other other chronic stealth infections. I've had candida very bad in the past and it did not involve nerve pain. However, any infection can be hard on any tissue in the body from the toxins and the liver stress.
I wonder why you connect the nerve symptoms with candida rather than with lyme or other infections. Has your doctor said something about this?
Have you been checked for diabetes?
Are you seeing a good LLMD because your doctor should really know what you are experiencing.
You say you don't have thrush in your mouth or other yeast symptoms, however, if you are on antibiotics, it's best to be very careful. The adult acne could be yeast, or infection of another type.
Olive leaf extract, in addition to probiotics can help.
"apart from dietary changes (I do love sugars and carbs)." ?
If one has a candida infection, sugars will feed that. As well, a low-glycemic diet will help prevent insulin problems that lyme can interfere with. There are other things to help alter diet that won't seem so hard.
For instance, a plant based sweetener, Stevia, can be added to teas, tart berries, or a little whole grain oatmeal and you can still have a sweet tasting treat that won't have simple sugars.
Cocoa can be made with a touch of stevia and whatever kind of milk you use. Or go for an 85% DARK chocolate, with an ounce or so after a meal or with nuts, so that it balances out and does not drop your glucose level.
As for carbs, the more complex, the better and with protein and oils, it will not be an all-out Halloween trek for candida.

I dunno I found it is impossible to find sugar free food in US. Freaking almost everything has added sugars. Major supermarkets do not even have sugar free yogurts .

- Stevia seems to be something that really helps people get over sugar in their tea (but just a tiny amount goes far) - adding garden herbs and spices to foods - and really enjoying the full measure of veggies and low sugar fruits - and nuts. Trying out ethnic recipes also adds a lot of flavor.
I know I'm lucky to have an organic grocery nearby that even delivers. For those who don't have that, the customer service person at your groceries may be able to special order food - even on a regular basis.
Even with my natural foods store, they still have to special or the miso I like - I'm the only customer who ask for "Miso Master" and just can't eat the brands they carry. But they are happy to order whatever I want.
Nancy's plain yogurt - or some Greek yogurts or Mediterranean Yogurts should certainly be available to the order person at all groceries. Perhaps check out the smaller markets for Mid-Eastern foods - or contact restaurants on the brands that get in and how you can. If possible, it's great to find yogurt that is rBGH-free (that growth hormone that many dairies use is not really anyone's friend).
If you ask your grocer, my bet is that there will be others who also want a better selection and they may soon be stocking it for everyone.
Trader Joe's carries several kinds of plain yogurt. Their Greek and their Mediterranean Yogurt Cheese are very good - and rBGH-free. -
