Could These Symptoms Be Candida?Posted By Rob (Los Angeles, Ca) on 06/23/2015
Hello there well I am writing this because I've been experiencing problems with my health, my hand seems to be drying up and cracked, been like this for almost 2 1/2 years, I have changed my diet drastically, I've recently stopped eating grains amd consume seeds and nuts once in a while, the thing is I've incorporated probiotic acidophilus into my diet and drink kefir, I've came up with the conclusion that its candida but I'm not sure.
My syptoms include:
Dark patchy area that was red two years proir, but now its brownish reducing in size
Cracked/dry hands
Nails looking ugly
Sometime my left knee would hurt, I'm assuming because the patchy area is on left side below left testicle but idk

There is a questionnaire you can take that auto-scores your answers and will tell you fairly accurately whether you have candida or not. The questionnaire is here.
Another thing that I would do is get a hair analysis done. If your high heavy metals and your bromine and fluorine levels are high then this might well indicate a compromised immune system and candida prevalence.
I also had cracked fingers, bad nails and bad feet before I got rid of my candida 10 years ago. My candida symptoms were: jock itch, bad athletes foot, heart arrhythmia and dizziness, constipation, insomnia, brain fog, low energy, lethargic, overweight, eczma, low thyroid and psoriasis.
