The past few days have been a bit uncomfortable.
I mentioned earlier that most of my candida symptoms had been eliminated. And while the symptoms seemed to be gone, I didn’t think I was candida free.
Well… a few days ago, some of the symptoms I experienced while candida was very active resurfaced. Itching and stomach bloating was the main ones I experienced. I’ve heard this being described as “Candida die-off.” Which basically is when many candida cells are destroyed in a short period of time.
I wasn’t too concerned since this is one of the many list of symptoms that can occur as the candida is being eliminated. As you can see (from the list I’ve included below) there are other symptoms one might experience also.
Candida die off symptoms
- Bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea
- Chills, cold feeling in your extremities
- Elevated heart rate
- Headache, fatigue, dizziness
- Increased joint or muscle pain
- Nausea
- Swollen glands
Lovely right?
What’s interesting is some of the candida die-off symptoms are exactly what you experience when candida is out of control. When I inspected what came out, I saw a lot of what looked like candida. That’s another reason I like enemas. It eliminates the yeast as quickly as your body releases it into your colon. Even for a skeptic such as myself that made sense. The few times I’ve been nauseous, I felt much better after vomiting since the bad stuff came out. Better out than in, right? After the enema the itching and bloating went away until more were released into the colon near my bedtime. Another enema eliminated those symptoms. That’s even better.
I increased my enemas to twice daily until the itching stopped. I’m imagining the candida die-off symptoms were brought on by the combination of garlic enemas and apple cider vinegar enemas I’ve been using. I imagine I’ll have additional die off symptoms, when that happens I’ll just use enemas to flush the candida out of my colon.
Candida feedback from others
Over the past several weeks, I’ve received a few emails from others who suffered from candida. They both thought enemas were a bit out there, but after reading what I wrote about them they decided to try them out. And just like myself, the itching and bloating they experienced has subsided. It’s always nice to hear feedback from others and it’s nice that they ‘re open to trying methods that aren’t commonly practiced here in the United States.

Great to hear. Wishing you the best of health always.
