Intestinal fungus overgrowth question?

Question

I am 100% sure I have had an intestinal yeast overgrowth in my small intestine area for the past 20 years. It would make perfect sense with how I treated my body in the past. Rounds after rounds of antibiotics for so called sinus infections and ear infection which now I really believe was fungus. After that phase I turned into a sugar addict. I felt like I could not function If I missed a day without my coke and donuts, not to mention coffee throughout the day. I also began drinking beer in large quantities on a daily basis. In my early teens I finally started to suffer the consequences. The symptoms I am stuck with today are: SEVERE BODY ODOR, CONSTIPATION-gi track is a mess, gout like attacks in feet and ankles almost weekly, Fatigue-always feeling drained and ill, blurred vision-pressure behind the eyes, extreme dry mouth with occasional white tongue, on and off sinus infection feeling, yellow tinted toenails at times, brain fog-always spaced out, always feeling toxic-glazed eyes type thing, pimples and abscesses on chest and back that don't respond to antibiotics, etc. Nothing responds to antibiotics. These are the most noticeable I deal with everyday. The VERY interesting part... These symptoms are 80% better when the weather is dry and sunny. It is a GIVEN that these symptoms will be in full force when it is wet or damp usually in the morning. Damp weather- Fungus? One thing I do agree with Doctors is that all my blood work looks ok, including colonoscopy, endoscopy, etc. However, every time I bring up the subject of fungus the three hundred dollar appointment is over in lest than 10 minutes and I am belittled and told to see a psychiatrist. So here is what I am really wondering. I went to a different doctor today at an urgent care because I now have the worst sinus infection and bronchitis in my entire life. I brought up the question about fungus and we talked for a while and she agreed with what I was saying and took a swab of the back of my throat and sent it in to get tested for fungus. She said if it is a fungal sinus infection the swab will test positive because it will drip down the back of my throat. At this point at my request I refused to get any antibiotics till the test comes back. I truly feel the fungus is infecting more than one area of my body in and out. She told me the fungus has to be localized and if I had fungus in my blood I wouldn't be sitting in her chair I would be so sick almost dead. I want to test positive for fungus so I can finally treat it, however if what she is saying is true there might be a possibility the test will come back negative because most of the symptoms come from the gi tract. Anyways, I'm just really frustrated and I wish I could just get tested for a general overall fungus blood test instead of swabbing one localized area to possibly test negative and be sent out to suffer some more. I don't have the money to go the alternative route right now, but I do have insurance so I'm trying to use it. Does anybody have any advice or been in this type of situation that could help? Sorry about the novel!

Answer 1

Definitely. I cured myself of a chronic candida albicans infection that almost ruined my life by changes in diet and in taking vitamins and supplements.

You must get a book called Yeast Control In Seven Days. Also Prescription For Nutritional Healing did me wonders too.

You need to stop eating processed sugar! Use stevia (found in health food stores) to sweeten drinks and drink unsweetened mineral water, like perrier, instead of sweetened sodas.

Stop eating breads and starches! They turn into sugar in your system in short order. Cut them out-of your diet, and eat vegetables, way more vegetables. If you must have starch have brown rice.

You need essential fatty acids, found in fish oil. Take this daily, as well as garlic supplements.

Yeast needs moisture, sugar and agitation to thrive. Starve out the sugar. Also, your doctor can prescribe a simple pill that costs 8-15 dollars (diflucan) and it wipes out the yeast. However, it will regain entry to your body and overgrow again if you give it the same conditions.

You need to replenish the healthy-gut-bacteria: acidophilus. You can take it in pill form, or powder, or it can be commonly found in yoghurt (plain yoghurt sweetened with stevia is best!)

I finally stopped getting yeast infections and my mental clarity returned. But even so, if I drink an entire can of soda, it is so acidic that it kills the good bacteria that prevent yeast-overgrowth, and sugarifies my system, and I can feel one coming on (a yeast infection).

Answer 2

Nobody feeds mushrooms to horses to propagate the mushrooms,but we do sprinkle spore on horse manure after it is excreted. I think that would be general practice, if you have spores to spread, you put them on the substrate they would consume. There does not appear to be a strong reason to move that mixing to food. A strongly acidic stomach might not kill the spores. But might we not preserve the effect of growing hemp if we left hemp growing in a separate field, and used a forage harvester to provide a hemp green manure just to keep the fungi fed? It might be advantageous to till this into soil surface lightly. There may be no particular reason to bring animal/bird into the delivery system if the hemp itself is the most significant part of the food they need.

Answer 3

I guess I would say this. Doctors have been wrong about things with me before. Much like dealing with a mechanic, you've told them hey this is what I think is going on. Let them run their tests and whatnot. If they decide its something else maybe go with it because you have to admit you are speculating as well.
