Hi all. I’ve been hanging back a bit since my chemical, waiting for my next fet. (One more day of BC!). In the meantime, I had gotten a food sensitivity test done, just to see if there was anything else that’s giving me inflammation, and the only things that came back on that were low sensitivities to Cow milk, casein, and whey, but nothing major. However, they also test for yeast and candida, and my Candida count is through the roof, no doubt still connected to my hellish month of antibiotics in September October following my first and second hysteroscopy where I got an infection (and then had to prevent one). Not coincidentally, my oral thrush symptoms returned this week. So now I’m going on a super strict Candida cleanse for the next two weeks, as recommended by the food practitioner (who also does functional medicine and specializes in fertility), then adding complex carbs back in after that but skipping dairy and simple carbs.

We don’t think this was the cause for my infertility or anything, it was the auto immune, but apparently candida can also trigger auto-immune symptoms, So it’s got to go.

As I’m gearing up for my next transfer, hopefully all the Candida die-off will be done by the time I i’m actually getting close to transfer. I’ll be on a more intense auto immune protocol, so the less my body is reacting to anything, the better. I hope you ladies are all doing well.

Has anyone here ever done a Candida cleanse or diet?
