Day 12 of Candida Treatment

So I am still on track with my Candida treatment and diet. I haven’t missed a dose of Diflucan yet, which is a good thing. And I’ve been pretty darn strict with this diet, which is driving me nuts in the evenings.
Oh and do I feel better? I think I do. I think it’s going to be a slow road, however. And I probably need to exercise soon, even if I’m still tired and not feeling well. I have been sedentary for so long now that I really am loosing stamina and strength. So an easy exercise program should be in the making, even if it’s just walks around the neighborhood.
I’m still having cravings for food in the evenings. I don’t think I’m hungry, and it’s not really for just sugar or just salt or fat that I’m craving. I just want to sit down with a nice cup of hot cocoa or some chips or something. Not sure if I’ll ever get over that. And the desire is so strong that it can be overwhelming sometimes. Bleh. It’s amazing how intense cravings can be.
So I have an appointment with the doctor in a couple more weeks. I’m sticking with this, and doing a good job of being strict, no matter how boring or frustrated I get. I have cheated twice in 12 days which, I guess, isn’t really that bad since they were tiny things. So I guess I should be proud of myself!

Good for you!
For me the first week went well, I was craving less and feeling more energy and then family was in town and it all went out the window.
Trying again though…
I have just passed the two-week stage. I felt so unwell the first week. I think it was such a shock to lose so many things I liked all at once – coffee, wine, chocolate… around about day 10 the dreadful sugar cravings I had started to ease, but they have not gone entirely. I have had some fruit: the occasional green apple, and berries. I really think I would have gone mad without that!
Am beginning to feel so much better, and that’s what I am trying to keep in mind. But it’s my birthday next week…and I, for one, would like to have a glass of wine then! It’s so tricky, isn’t it? Do you still crave cocoa, or has that eased?
