My blog and website had been getting an increased amount of activity during December and it seems to me I remember that my symtoms seem to be worse in December as well. I wondered, could it be due to the colder weather causing dry skin and increasing irritation inducing a Pompholyx outbreak?........OR....could it be due to my theory that an over abundance of yeast is really the reason for Pompholyx outbreaks?
Look at it this way, have you been eating any Christmas cookies, candy, highly processed Chrifstmas treats or maybe things you would not normally eat? If so then I could be correct in saying yeast or Candida might just be the culprit.
I have had tremendous luck taking a regimen of products that help control yeast or Candida. Even when not quite eating the way you should (such as limiting sugars and processed foods) these products help eliviate or reduce symptoms greatly. Take them when you are eating right and your symptoms are virtually non-existant! When ordering these products I would also recommend ordering them in gluten free formulas to be sure you don't have any sensitivity to gluten or wheat that may also be causing skin irritation. I will not be without these products they give me so much relief they are worth every penny!
In a previous post I listed these products with olive leaf extract and caprylic acid as two separate products however since that post I actually found a product called Candida Clear that contains the caprylic acid along with a couple other yeast fighting ingredients and I love it! It works wonders so I'm including links to the products for you to review below! I hope that you find this list helpful, and that it gives you the relief you've been hoping for just like it did for me!
Candida Clear Formula 180 Vcaps from NOW Foods - $15.97 for 180, you will take 2 of these twice a day! These will contain your caprylic acid along with other yeast fighting ingredients.
Now Foods Olive Leaf Extract 500mg 60Vcaps - This stuff is just awesome, it's great for all kinds of skin conditions!
Now Foods Virgin Coconut Oil Certified Organic 20 fl oz - Take one to two tbsp. per day for extra caprylic acid and anti-fungal properties. Not to mention it improves skin and helps speed up your metabolism.
Now Foods L-Glutamine Powder Free Form 6oz - This product repairs the holes that are left in your intestines from the yeast that dies off from the products above so it's pretty important too. You will take about 1 tsp. mixed with water or juice twice per day.
And lastly:
PB 8 Pro-Biotic Acidophilus Vegetarian, 60 Cap - This is a really great probiotic that you will take once per day to rebuild "good" bacteria in your body to keep yeast from coming back.
I am using all these products and though money is very tight for me, I have found them to be worth their weight in gold since I can now be pretty much pompholyx and itching free!! I really mean it, please try them. If can't afford them all at least try the candida clear and go from there.
Please write and let me know how it all worked for you!
