NewQuestions,
I was just re-reading your original post, and thought about your carb cravings. If you have excessive yeast in your body, you will crave white carbs and sugar to 'feed the yeast', to sustain it. Some say yeast causes cognitive difficulties too. I don't trust all the alternative doctors (or the conventional ones at that!), but am thinking this could be possible.
I think you should start eating yoghurt daily. Do this for months, because you may not notice right away. The homemade kind is better -instructions are on the internet. It's easy to make and you can just keep the batch in the fridge in one large bowl. Scooping up plain yoghurt in Majool dates is so yummy! If you feel you need the cookies/sugar to get by, consider eating those dates. They are expensive though, but better than candy, and full of nutrients.
There is no point for any of us to avoid changing our nutritional habits to see what helps. You never know, and it is a lot safer than taking one drug after another and risking chemical labotony.
It also could be you have several things going on at once - you could have a yeast imbalance, digestive problems, hormonal imbalance, and nutritional deficiency all at the same time!
What shocks me is that most of the doctors I have ever been too only consider that you have ONE ailment at a time -as if sickness only appears serially..lol. That's how they behave, anyway. Think out of the box...
