Once again I have had the candida ‘all clear’ from my naturopath as a result of following the candida diet and using anti fungals. But my oestrogen levels are still sky high and to be honest I dont feel 100% candida-free. We discussed the situation and agreed that my hormone levels mean that the candida will flare up again if I started eating food which will feed it. So I am continuing with the diet and I am now using a natural organic progesterone cream to try to balance the oestrogen. I am also taking a recommended supplement. I am praying that this helps to balance my hormones enough to be able to start eating properly. Has anyone else had to do this? Did it work? I have been warned it could take a few months but I hope it will be within one month. I have been using the cream for about 4 days so far. So fingers crossed!
love and light

It seems strange to be that your naturopath is so quick to declare you ‘all clear’. The candida cleansing process takes a long time – sad, but true. And I can empathise; I am convinced my candida problems and hormonal imbalance are linked. So, I am resigned to sticking more or less to the diet in the long term. After three years I allow myself the occasional ‘naughty’ at the weekends, or on special occasions, but the rest of the time I stick fairly rigidly to the maintenance diet.
