sugars and carbs give me numbness in my fingers when i sleep at night. alcohol (even 1 beer) gives me severe rib pain. i am starting to think yeast infection (which i hear takes a while to get rid of). also i have researched and found that candida can be sexually transmitted...is this true?? i have looked at threelac and it sounds like a good product for yeast. anyone have any experience with it?

Sounds a whole lot like yeast to me.... .I have major issues with it as well.
Yes, it can be transmitted sexually. It seems as tho I gave a touch of it to my ex girlfriend.
Regarding treatment.... Threelac seems to get mixed reviews. Theralac however works from what I'm seeing.... started on it about a week ago. Try it out.

If you want to try threelac give me a call. I have a whole box sitting in my closet.
I'd say both yeast and lyme especially if you been on meds.
All My Best, Scott

as far as testing for it, i saw my LLMD last nite and he explained to me that, similarly to lyme, testing for candida is very inaccurate.

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]
