Help, Anti-Candida Diet, I think I'm making myself sick
Last weekend I began the tell-tale lady symptoms of the yeastie beasties. This is far from my first go-around, I get one once or twice a year. I also happened to have one afternoon with a migraine (also once or twice a year event, but never with the yeasties) and a sudden surge in eczema, patches that had long been dormant…

I just can't poo and my DR was of no help
All of those Google search results tell you the same stuff "it's your medication, you're pregnant, not enough water, not enough fiber, etc." Most websites tell you pooping twice a week is "normal".

I see anywhere from 900-1,600 to lose weight and 1,400-2,000 to maintain for someone my size. That is a pretty big margin of error if you ask me. Where can one…

Tell me about fasting?
Is there any scientific diet value on fasting? A few weeks back I started trying the Almased diet. I am already aware of what the general myfitnesspal consensus is on this diet. I did find that sticking to the very strict "Three meals of Almased a day plus liquid snacks like broth" was NOT working for me in a sustainable…

New to the forums, hoping for advice
So I've got a few things going on I think. Would love your input. My GP was rather useless for advice :( I do the food reporting on here on and off, so currently there's nothing for you to look at :-X I'm 23, 5'1. I've had three kids. Pre children I was 116. After my first, 118, my second 118-120, and by the time I weaned…
