I just started the Atkins diet 2-3 days ago. I was feeling fine, but I got a sore throat after jogging yesterday. Even though I completely rehydrated, the sore throat has persisted all through today, and I'm starting to feel fatigued and achy. I had yeast symptoms a couple of weeks ago, like rectal and genital itching, so I'm pretty sure this is yeast die-off. What's a good treatment for it? Can anyone recommend any Atkins-friendly anti-fungal supplements?
I recently went to the dr for my irritable bowel/colitis issues that I have been having. She told me to take a high dosage pro biotic for a month to see if it would help. I also have a problem with reoccuring yeast infections. In addition -- I have a slight infection in the corners of my mouth. This is crazy. I took diflucan (anti-fungal) a few weeks ago, now about 3 weeks of expensive high dosage probiotics..drinking kefir daily.....is there something I am missing?
I gave up all synthetic drugs -- quit birth control pills 2 months ago. I eat pretty healthy. I take supplements. No processed foods, no junk food - (rarely.) The only thing I can blame is coffee...? And the occasional drink or two. But if I have to give that up it will stink because as it is --- I try to be as healthy as possible.
Anyone have any advice. I am about to go buy lotrimin to put on my mouth.....
