Feeling Faint again...

On March 14th, I had been feeling pretty good, so I decided to wean off the ThreeLac to see how I would do. At first I had a little more lightheadedness, but no more nightly abdominal pains but still a little bloated feeling. I had a cold again and for a few mornings had been a little dizzy feeling. On March 27 2008, when I woke up I could tell my heart rate was pretty fast. While cooking breakfast I started to feel like I was going to faint. I sat down, and then lay down. The weather had warmed up then turned cold again, which I always seem to feel worse when the weather changes quickly like that. However, I hadn’t felt faint like that in about 2 years, so I was taken aback.

After eating some breakfast I started feeling a little better. I decided that maybe I’d try taking my digestive advantage again, so I took one of those along with my normal daily 25 mg of Toprol XL and daily multi-vitamin (One-a-day for Women). Since I had been taking probiotics in one form or another the last 2 years, my lightheadedness, heart racing, and faint feelings have declined significantly, not to mention my better cholesterol test scores. I felt like the underlying cause of most of my symptoms must have to do with a candida overgrowth causing havoc in my system. During April and May I went to taking my ThreeLac again at 1 packet a day and then when it ran out I ordered FiveLac and started taking it 1 packet a day.
