I am a realtive newbie. I am wondering how does one know she is flaring/reacting to food?

How do you move from one diet stage to the next? Do I understand it correctly that before you move, you are absolutely symptom free?

I havent had a pap smear done in about 3 years and got a reminder this week that I am due for one. I am absolutely terrified of going for it as I didnt have IC when I had the other ones and now that I do, I have read of women feeling their IC was made much much worse by having a pap smear done, even going out of remission.

I have had abnormal smears in the past but all have been normal for the last 8 years. Does Matia advise people to hold off on doing one or if it is ok to go ahead?

Again- I know I'll find this out next week probably but humor me, ok? LOL

I have never had a sweet tooth and don't "crave" sugar at all. I had no issues taking out of my diet. I do miss alcohol but I think that is more about the ritual and taste rather than the alcohol itself.

I had taken a pretty good amount of high quality probiotics before and never experienced die off.

Is it possible that yeast is not an issue at all?

Im taking Natren Superdophilus , is this the same as Megas?

List 2 allows sparkling mineral water, but she says low mineral. What sparkling mineral water is low mineral? Can anyone tell me what they drink? Is Pelligrino ok? Also does green tea bother anyone? I haven't tried it yet.

Hi Every one. I live in Costa Rica but i came to vegas for 3 weeks to be close to Matia and buy probiotics that i cant get in my country. Matia wants me to have juice plus but i just have the green one here and many bottles in Costa Rica. Do you know where in vegas can i buy that? or maybe someone from here can sell me a bottle? I know Matia has but shipping is so much, it is hard for me! I am the only patient from Costa Rica she has and i was sick for soo long before i found here that this treatment has been very hard...

Thank you so much

Hi everyone. I am seeing Dr Brizman on May 25 but I wondered if any of you could answer this question in the meantime. I am doing the diet list 1 and that is fine except that I  have been having one cup of coffee a day. It isn't affecting my bladder negatively but I know it isn't on list one. I understand that part of the diet is yeast related and part is bladder related. I know caffiene is a no no on many Candida diets but in this case, if it isn't bothering me is that ok?

I have been fighting bladder pain for 2 years.  Pain for 12 months, did Matias program the last 3 months and got better about 1 month after starting the Oreganol.  Better for 10 months and then the pain started again but much lower level pain this time....about 1/2 of what it was before.  I was eating too much sugar and not enough veggies. Started treating again for 6 months and finally decided to try oreganol again and lo and behold...better in about 2 weeks.  I think it is much stronger than the SF722.  

I bought a few gallons of raw milk.  The milk had a strange taste, almost gamey.  (It reminged me of mutton as opposed to lamb).  If you have tried raw milk, how did it taste to you compared to regular milk?  Do you get used to the taste?

My kids are drinking it and I am hoping to be approved to drink it soon.
