Summer from Gardendale, Alabama asked:
“I have had lifelong back/kidney and migraine problems and I was just wondering if you could tell the cause. I’ve had numerous scans and tests since I was a child and there’s never been anything significant show up, yet the problems persist. Is there any way these things could be connected? I was really hoping you could give me an insight on what was going on. I look forward to hearing from you.”
Hi Summer,
When scanning you, I see (in my mind’s eye) that both of your kidneys are inflamed and swollen causing your back pain. I’m also getting your uric acid levels are very high causing your kidney issues. On top of that, you have a systemic yeast infection (overgrowth of Candida yeast) throughout your body. Picture the white powder found on a yeast roll and then picture that white powder throughout the inside of your GI tract and in your kidneys.
After seeing all of the above, I Googled “uric acid Candida overgrowth” and found a lot of information. This quote from www.thecandidadiet.com sums it up, “The byproducts produced by Candida include acetaldehyde, ammonia and uric acid. These harmful substances (along with a long list of other toxins) can enter your bloodstream and cause a host of diverse symptoms. An inflammatory response is your body’s way of dealing with Candida and its byproducts.”
Furthermore, one of the most common symptoms of Candida overgrowth (often called the missing diagnosis) is frequent migraines.
Although I believe all of your symptoms are related, they’re relatively easy and inexpensive to fix.
Research Candida overgrowth and follow the recommended diet. If you do, I believe you’ll quickly feel better and your body will be able to heal itself.
Blessings,
Julie
