Rob- When I eat wheat, I have lots of fatigue, stiffness and if I eat too much joint pain, yes, the next day or sometimes not for several days.
This reaction seems to take several days to work itself out and about a week before I feel really good again.
I have found that if I take my probiotic with the wheat or other sugar that I eat it helps to reduce the reaction. Exercising helps to burn these carbs more quickly getting them out of my system.
I don't eat fast foods and limit the sugars that I eat. I know I'm gluten intoleratnt so I'm just experimenting with reactions after eating different amounts of wheat.

Hi Rob--I had a severe systemic candida infection--so bad i couldn't get out of bed for a year. Everyone's level of candida and time to get well will be different, so that's a hard question to answer.
I will say this: diet is KEY. You will never rid yourself of high candida levels if you continue to feed the beasts--no matter what you're taking (diflucan, threelac, etc.) . I don't believe there IS a fast way to get rid of candida. It's a very stubborn organism that can survive on very little carbs.
I say don't give them the opportunity to breed or breathe--starve them, use a good antifungal (natural or allopathic--your choice), and stick to it for at least six months if not longer.
I don't pretend that you have anywhere near as bad a candida problem as I did four years ago, and you will likely feel immediate benefits from a low-carb diet and get well a lot faster than it took me to. But I can honestly say I've been on a lot of candida programs and nothing worked better for me than the Whole Approach prorgam/protocol.
It's definitely worth checking out, but it's no quick solution...

My stomach and intestines hurt when I eat anything off-limits. Pain like when a muscle is overworked, only it's my whole stomach and intestines. Also, gas and then sometimes diarrhea.
Any wonder I don't cheat at all nowadays?

Hi Guys,
It is so very tough to change your life to do what is good for you, but after a few days, it gets easier!

I got into the halloween candy a bit yesterday and I'm paying for it today!
I am aching and have twitches and tremors. Also had a killer migraine today which I haven't had in many, many months. And right now I'm getting a sharp pain in my intestines!
Yup. Sugar is POISON.

Before understanding that I had Lyme, before it was too severe, I thought I couldn't eat sugary food, even went on a non-sugar, non-milk - diet. I reacted so bad to the sugary and diary-products.
Fatigue, brainfog, heavy legs and arms, depressed. When going on my diet I felt so much better. Not always, but in general.
Now, being treated for Lyme, it all makes more sense. I can occasionally have sugary food, but usually feel worse afterwards. I also stay away from a lot of carbs - sometimes I crave it though, but it definetively makes me feel worse if I give in to it.
