Candida Die-Off Symptoms
During a Candida cleanse, some people may experience Candida die-off
symptoms as they increase their intake of the supplement because
the Candida has nothing to feed on anymore. Also, because the food
you are allergic to have built up in your system and they are no
longer entering it, they begin to break down and find their way
out of the body. Initially you may feel worse before you feel better,
but do not be scared or put off by an increase in symptoms because
it means that your body is getting rid of all the substances that
have been causing the problem. These symptoms, if they occur, will
usually occur in the second or third week. These die-off symptoms
include:
- headaches, nausea
- brain fog
- dizziness
- fatigue
- sugar cravings
- minor skin breakouts
- cold hands and feet
A person experiencing these symptoms is usually quite toxic. These
symptoms are temporary and can last from a couple of days up to
two weeks. If they persist, stop and see your health care provider.
Acupuncture can help diminish these symptoms. DO NOT discontinue
your diet because of detoxification symptoms. You may wonder why
you are on such a diet if it makes you so sick, but you are actually
getting better!

of candida and yeast and will help speed up the process. The Candida
diet detox is usually recommended for a 4 to 6 week period! Use
