Panic attacks and gaining weight due to Candida
Q:
I have recently lost 15 pounds due to candida, hypoglycemia, adrenal fatigue Every time I eat ANY sugar I get completely exhausted within minutes and it feels like my blood sugar plummets. I have been eating brown rice and chicken okay however. Has anyone here had this ultra quick reaction to sugar which is very scary?
I did not lose the weight on purpose though I need to lose about 50 pounds. I have had panic attacks waking me from my sleep and I think my adrenal glands are shot. I actually licked a sucker only about 4 times and within minutes felt like I was going to pass out. I have no idea what to eat except for meat and some complex carbs. This is scary for me indeed.
A:
I used to have terrible panic attacks and anxiety. About a year and a half ago I read this book called The Mood Cure by Julia Ross. It is about how to get rid of anxiety, depression and panic attacks using natural methods. It totally changed my life, and the concepts go well with this plan. Since I completely gave up sugar 3 months ago, I have had zero anxiety and no panic attacks at all which is shocking because I have suffered with this for 20 years. Up until I gave up sugar 3 months ago, I have had some level of anxiety every single day, even when on vacation and even when things were going really great.
Meat and vegetables and healthy fats are probably best for you now.
You should also get some Virgin Coconut oil and take at least a teaspoon with each meal. It keeps your blood sugar stable which helps prevent anxiety and panic. Fish oil is really good too. I take Carlson’s liquid. I like it because it is completely flavorless and because it is a liquid it is easy to take a high dose without taking a million pills.
If you feel like you must have sugar, get some Stevia. It has no carbs or calories and does not elevate your blood sugar whatsoever.
The brand I use is Stevia Canada and has no bitter aftertaste like most of them in the US.
