Background:

I started Atkins about 3 weeks ago & saw myself in alot of symptons he talks about in the Yeast chapter. That led me to this forum where I took the Candida quiz and read through some of the posts.

Question #1:

None of my symptoms are related to the digestive tract, they are all skin/upper respiratory. Does this mean it probably isn't Candide? Or could my lack of digestive symptoms have to do with the fact that the antibiotics I've been on since the fall are ear drops? (OK, sorry, that was 2 questions, but I did score high on the befuddleness questions)

Question #2:

If I try to get rid of my symptoms by following the yeast-centered advice, can I do it with diet alone? I have barely enough money right now to buy food, let alone buy supplements. Am I wasting my time if I do the diet alone?


TIA for any input,
