I don't have it to a really cronic stage, Some symptoms but not all The doctor sau it can be debilitating in severe cases but in mine I appear very healthy and fit.
How u can get it one way is if u have a diet consisting of alot of sugar, or the way I believe I got it was over use of antibiotics that killed off all of my good bacteria. The second cause especially is alarming as doctors these days just seem to throw antibiotics at u no matter what's wrong. Symptoms are gas, gloating, migraines, hives, diarrhea, constipation, sugar cravings plus more.
^^^ I know how you can get it and I know what it is..... but i am curious as to how they diagnosed you with it and WHO diagnosed you.
was it a holistic doctor or western doc?
cause some goofy holistic doc once diagnosed me with it as well, but turns out I never had it. seems like if you show any symptoms that you listed you must have it.

there wasn't a point in my post.. i was just asking a question as to how it would be possible to correctly diagnose someone with this. holistic doctors diagnose everyone with this problem. they will treat you for it 'naturally' and bleed you dry of your money in the process ... there is a test where you spit into a cup which is complete buffoonery, you can interpret it anyway you want. its almost like a scam in my eyes. much of holistic medicine is 'placebo' and sugar pills.
and to answer your original question it has no bearing on your bodybuilding career on the surface, however if you were to follow the diet your holistic doctor wants you do go on you will have a tough time growing and your holistic doctor will not support bodybuilding, steroid use, and any overworking of the body. over exercise is considered bad just like no exercise, and thats what we do!! (atleast those of us that are obsessed with this sport and not at the gym to socialize)
there are VERY FEW good western and eastern docs out there.. you need to find a real holistic doctor who is good. i would say in my experience 15% of them are good, the rest of awful unless you want someone to comfort you and make you feel good. thats where eastern medicine kicks western meds ass. western docs talk to you for 1 minute and don't give a shit about you, but eastern docs care.
hope this helps. i just don't want to see you end up like me.. i think i spent 2K on that goofy holistic doctor who weighed about 300 pounds herself to cure my ficticious 'candida'
i'm not trying to bash holistic doctors at all, i know one that posts on EF.... but i'm sure they will admit that there are a lot of bad apples in their field just like the poster 'footdoc' who was a western doctor used to say 90% of his peers were buffoons.
also like ziggie said above we all have candida/yeast in our bodies. so if you test for it then you will be shown to have it. but that doesn't mean it needs to be treated
that is the frustrating part discerning whether its too much or too little.. thats where eastern docs will interpret things their own way and could make it seem like you need treatment when you really don't
good luck
