What are your thoughts on candida in relation to the episode Daisy Keech On Healing From A Toxic Lifestyle, Mold, Acne & Finding Her Dream Relationship and the clip Candida and Detoxing? I sense that it's deeper than just diet or probiotics, as if something is wrong with my immune system.
I have a question about the episode Daisy Keech On Healing From A Toxic Lifestyle, Mold, Acne & Finding Her Dream Relationship and the clip Candida and Detoxing. I suffer from candida overgrowth. Is managing it more than just avoiding sugar, dairy, and bread? It's been a lifelong journey of healing and then back to fighting candida. Why do I feel different from others around me? I sense that it's deeper than just diet or probiotics, as if something is wrong with my immune system. Thank you, and I hope to hear your thoughts on candida. I'm ready to have it gone for good.
