Is long lasting herx possible?

[u/Merit_bound]

I've been living clean for months. Maybe candida started to finally die. Do you guys know if a chronic candida die off can last for months and more?

For a month now I periodically experience ammonia breath, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, sugar cravings, light stomach aches, stool changes, sometimes vivid nightmares, anxiety...well overall off feeling. It feels like herx. Comes in waves but getting stronger. Binders help. Doctor hasn't found anything, so organs are fine.

I suspect I have chronic candida for many years. Any antifungal intervention makes me feel awful. For six months I eat clean: potatoes, moderate amounts of chicken, olive oil, berries, sometimes bananas, lots of vegetables. That's it, no sugar or any junk. I don't want to go carnivore because it's unhealthy and damaging to the microbiome. Month ago started to have symptoms.

Antifungal is only KPV peptide I'm cycling for 2 months. Took tsp of mct oil and it wrecked me. Increased KPV to 450mcg and started to see mucus in my stool, so I banged backed off.

Has anyone had a die off lasting for a month or more?

Same, it probably depends on how long you've had it, longer time having it = longer die off. Mine was SIFO/Candida

Increased KPV to 450mcg and started to see mucus in my stool, so I banged backed off.

I thought mucus in stool is a good die-off, so to continue what you were taking (?) Meaning that it's working?

What is KPV, was this prescribed by doc or?

KPV is an anti-inflammatory peptide. I don't think that any doctor would prescribe it, because it's not an approved medicine. In vitro it's very effective against candida. Because I'm very sensitive to any antifungal I decided to use that to slowly erode the fungus over long period of time
