  1. This is so great - thank you for sharing your journey! I'm trying to get my head space ready to do this cleanse. Did you have the sickness that comes with the cleanse sometimes?

  2. I did have a bit of illness the first week. I believe it was days 3/4 that I felt weird in the head, like kinda foggy, had a headache, and felt like I could be coming down with something. I upped my water intake, and I feel like that helped some. Also, ibuprofen is said to help with Candida, and help your inflammatory responses to Candida, so that is what I used, but honestly, I only felt the need to resort to it once, while at work. I'm sure staring at a computer all day doesn't help. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions :)
