Some more die off the past 2 days, my stomach is making a lot of movement, I have a lot of gas and smelly farts! My room has also been a bit smelly when I wake up in the morning. Some new red pussy spots on my hands and wrist.
Still feeling energetic tho and clear mind!

Day 8: Stage 2
Just thought I'd mention that someone on the candida diet forum reported itchy skin on back, arms, legs and stomach as a die off symptom, this is something I have experienced over the past week.
Felt REALY good today, was really busy at work, I'd been up since 5am and I didn't not stop for 10 hours - I have not felt or looked this good for I don't even know how long!!! :)
For breakfast today I had "breakfast rolls" which was some veg wrapped up in coconut flour egg "tortilla", was nice! Didn't have my lemon tho as still out!
At work, I had a glass of lemon water, and the same thing again to eat, minus the coconut flour so it was just "egg tortillas". I had a cupola of cups of chamomile tea also.
Tonight I had the usual veg stir dry, and a few slices of coconut bread - I baked the PERFECT bread, it's texture and taste to me is very similar to regular gluten free bread :) I also had a lemon in water before this meal, and today I introduced a small amount of coconut milk (in the bread and in a cup of chicory coffee).
Supplements I am now taking:
Golden seal x2
Bayberry x1 twice a day
Zinc x1 twice a day
Vitamin C x1 twice a day
Oxygen x20 drops twice a day
Molybdenum up to x3 a day
Swedish Bitters x1 drop per day
Coconut Oil x1 tablespoon a day

Stage 1 Review
So after a week on the cleanse, I am ready to move to the next stage.
The week was very draining especially mid-week, but from Thursday onwards I have been feeling loads better.
I'm going to keep the food very similar and take it slow for at another week.
I have now added the supplements golden seal, zinc and oxygen elements so let's see how things go.

Day 7
Still feeling much better today, and my skin on my face is looking brilliant, no spots at all - I haven't looked this good in a LONG LONG time.
Had the usual veg stir fry for breakfast, with my supplements and Swedish bitters. Also coconut oil, golden seal, zinc and oxygen elements
Had an onion and courgette omelette at work (3 eggs) and a couple of cups of chamomile tea.
At home I had a glass of water with lime juice as I am out of lemons. I had the veg stir fry.
I've reintroduced the coconut bread, but I made it into a special treat - Coffee Cake, new ingredients include coconut flour and xylitol, that's it.
Will continue with the same foods for now, allowing more eggs, coconut bread and some chicken.
I'm feeling greatly improved and look so much better so am ready to move onto stage 2 this week.

Day 6
Woke up still feeling much better. Have a few itchy spots on my legs, hopefully that's some die off I started having yesterday. Got more energy today.
Had the usual for breakfast with 2 eggs thrown in.
At work, had lemon in water, then 4 eggs thrown in with some red onion and a courgette. A few cups of chamomile tea aswell.
Feeling a little laggish but overall so much better these last 2 days, I also look more vibrant and awake, clear skin, bright eyes.
Had a very dark (almost black) stool, not sure if that's a good thing or not, it was very heavy. And a pussy spot on my arm appeared.
Was debating whether to cook some coconut bread tonight but there is no eggs at home so that solved that problem. At least now I have had 6 full days cleanse, and tomorrow night I will cook the bread and start adding that to my diet.
I just took 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and having a cup of chicory coffee.
Tomorrow I will start the zinc supplement and the goldenseal. It's time to launch a full out attack on the candida.
Today at work I couldn't stop thinking about food even more, smells seem to be stronger but I'm still resisting any temptation, telling myself at this stage it's not worth it.
Had the usual for dinner but without any eggs, I dont want to overdo them while on the cleanse.

Day 5
Felt so much better today, I'm hoping this is the turning point of the diet. More die off I think, red lumps on my legs and 1 or 2 flu symptoms.
Had all the same food again, had 3 eggs with lunch.
Let's see how I feel tomorrow, 5 days and going strong though! :)

Day 4
Woke up feeling tired/achy, was quite hard to get up out of bed, BUT once I was up I actually feel better today, not so drained and a clearer mind.
Symptoms: skin dryness clearing up on hands, skin breakage on my arm is finally fading, and on my legs.
Breakfast: lemon in water, then veg stir fry, same as last nights, delicious!
I don't have my supplements with me as I stayed over my friends house, so will take them when I get home
Diet is going well, haven't deviated or cheated at all. Cannot wait until I can have coconut bread next week, it will really satisfy these cravings I have been having.
At home, had a glass of water with lemon in.
For lunch: onions, garlic, pepper, courgette, avocado with spinach watercress and rocket, had 3 free range eggs thrown in, salt and pepper- delicious!
I then took 2 bayberry, 1 vitamin C, 2 garlic capsules, a drop of molybdenum and a drop of Swedish bitters. Also had a cup of chicory after the meal.
Still feeling very tired. But after feeling very down/depressed and detached the last couple of days, my mood has definitely lifted tonight and I'm feeling much happier. I can also tense muscles which has been very hard to do.
For dinner I had the exact same thing except with 1 egg instead of 3, I don't want to over do my intake on the cleanse. I also took all the same supplements again.
Didn't have my whole lemon in water, but I did drink 3-4 glasses of water with lemon and lime halved in it
