Itchy ears (...among other things) .  Candida related?

TMI no way! Thanks so much!!
this is so helpful. And I love you for it!
Have to go shopping today, because, while I want to cut sugar out... there's nothing at my school cafeteria (which has been the source of all my nutrition) without sugar. I'm going to have to do a pretty lax cleanse, because I'm just too busy right now to cook every meal.
more to come, I'm sure...
Thanks thanks thanks!

I reccomend just lowering your carbs (I mean grains & taters) and totally cutting out refined sugar and fruit and juice. That's a big help and a managable way to start.
Oh, and no booze till at least a week after you feel better.

Well, no drinking should be easy... haven't been since new year's. And haven't been having coffee either, but WAY too much black tea with WAY too much sugar.
Here we go again...
I saw you're jumping into it again, too. Good luck!

Black tea won't really affect your current YI / itchies. Enjoy it, but without sugar. Maybe try stevia if you're desperate for something sweet in your bevvie.

Also, if you're already cutting out stuff and doing a cleanse, you could be experiencing a "die off reaction", which is an increase in the annoyance of candida symptoms before you start to feel better.
