Candida Die Off – The Good News And The Bad News
Candida die off is a term you may or may not have heard of before now. It is a informal phrase used to describe a mass die off of pathogenic toxins inside the body. It is commonly referred to as Herxheimer reaction by medical doctors who recognize the symptoms.
Candida die off is caused when an over growth of yeast begin dying off in large amounts. As the yeast dies off it releases toxins that enter the bloodstream on their way out of your body. As the toxins are released, they are released in such copious amounts that they overload the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and colon. This produces some pretty nasty symptoms including:
· Headaches
· Stuffy Noses
· Body Aches
· Rashes
· Fatigue
· Constipation or Diarrhea
· Vaginal Irritation and Discharge
Unfortunately, when ridding the body of an over growth of candida, candida die off effects are unavoidable and, unfortunately, you have to get worse before you can get better.
The key to surviving a candida detox and the resulting die off symptoms is to take things at your own pace. Listen to your body—if the symptoms of die off become overwhelming, back off your candida treatment program for a few days and let your body catch up with the removal of the released toxins. Believe it or not, sometimes the slower you go with your treatment program, the faster your cure rate may be.
Every person is different and will experience die off symptoms in varying degrees at different times. Some start a candida cleanse program and feel ten times better almost immediately. They experience things like increases in energy and better mental focus and the like. Of course, they are still likely to experience candida die off symptoms at some point.
Still, others may start candida treatments and feel horrible immediately, experiencing all the flu like symptoms mentioned above.
Severity of die off symptoms depends on the condition of the immune system and level of overgrowth, as well as environmental and emotional stressors.

Hi there, thank you for the info on candida/yeast die off. I have started a protein/veg eating program where I will slowly re-introduce starchy carbs when I have lost my excess weight. (Dukan Diet). I have a flare up of thrush on my tongue and vagina. It is not extremely severe but irritating. I am taking acidophilus daily to help and live yoghurt. I do have a brain fog and feel tired. What do you suggest to help me in this situation. I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
S Defoe
@ S. Defoe–It’s great that you’ve changed your diet. Staying away from sugar and carbs/starches is a big plus and will help immensely–you’ve stopped feeding the yeast! Your brain fog and tiredness could either be the yeast overgrowth itself or die off, it’s hard to tell. The yogurt and acidophilus are good things, too.
I would recommend the Optimum Candida Cleanse program mentioned in this post as it is very effective. It addresses parasites that contribute to yeast overgrowths and also helps restore a healthy balance to your gut and digestive system bringing the overgrowth of yeast under control. Just follow the directions located on the web product page of the link above.
I’ve used all of the products in this program and can vouch for their effectiveness.
All the best and please let me know if you have any other questions.
