Think I already mentioned that I had gained weight since moving here. I thought it was a good thing but turns out not so much. It was actually a sign of the return of Candidiasis.
Took a while but I seem to have that back under control. It got out of control because I had run out of a couple of supplements and for various reasons did not reorder them for some time. Now I have purchased probiotics and took them in doses beyond label dosage. Been drinking apple cider vinegar. Can only tolerate so much of that, so I ordered tablet form. Looks like those are not optional.
Biggest issue with that is that it runs in a cycle. UC makes me prone to Candidiasis. Candidiasis causes the UC to get worse. The combination grossly interferes with absorption of nutrients, making it more difficult for any damage to heal and allowing inflammation to set in, not just intestinal but systemic. It also decreases my appetite, so I take in even less of what is needed.
The whole process is rather painless. At least for me. Major symptoms are loss of appetite (which I struggle with any way), weight gain (which as I said is caused by inflammation and is deceptive), brain fog and narrowing of my veins. And gas.
Killing off the Candida does not happen overnight and makes symptoms much worse before they get better. Candida releases the same chemicals into your system that a hangover does. But it's not sudden or temporary, it comes on slowly and is continuous. So it's vague and not so obvious. Just imagine having a low level hangover for weeks or even months.
Any way, Trying to get my energy back. I've lost the weight I gained. Probably dropped 8-10 lbs in the last 2 weeks. Not having so much gas any more.
Have to finish working on the van today. At least the spark plugs, for which I have to remove the intake manifold. I hate modern vehicles. I really do.
Hope to hear back more on the job I applied for soon. New computer should be here tomorrow. Get the YouTube channel up and running. Seems like a good time for it.
