Cleansing

So I'm in the middle of a cleanse. It's horrible. I'm doing one specifically for candida overgrowth since the doctor told me I'm a lucky soul who has it. If you want more details on candida look it up yourself. Anyways so for 3 weeks I'm on herbal antifungals.. 6 gross pills a day. Along with shots of coconut oil. Which sounds probably better then it actually is. Besides that I have to Adher to a retched diet. What can't I eat? Carbs, sugar, fruit, dairy. What does this leave? Mass amounts of veggies, proteins and gluten free grains. It's very bland. Almost every sauce has sugar in it so it's like hey let's have fish and veggies and quinoa and the next night same thing with chicken. Nahla can't tell the difference in the meat and I find it weird that she hasn't ask why I serve the same thing every night lol. Lila doesn't touch it at all..she fills up at bedtime snack.

So into week 1 1/2 I started getting die off symptoms which basically make you feel like you have the flu. When a fungus dies off at a fast rate it realses toxins and your body has to try to keep up. 71 toxins in fact to be specific. I seem to be feeling better thankfully after about 3 days.

I did reintroduce half and apple halfway through the second week. I think it has helped the headaches. Regardless I have 1 week and 2 days left until I can start to reintroduce food like a normal person. Thankfully my family has been supportive. When I asked nahla how dinner was she said bad lol. But she was still eating it that sweet girl. This
Is coming from the girl who says I'm the best cook ever :). Robbie eats it without complaint and even hid when he was eating a donut lol. I found him but regardless he has been sweet about the whole thing trying to hide everyone eating forbidden food from me so I don't feel tempted or sad :)
