Came across a post which said folinic acid could potentially be bad by promoting fungus growth. I wonder if there is any connection here, is it bad to take Methylfolate if you have Candida overgrowth? Anyone who have can relate to this?
I'm not fully sure I have Candida even though many things indicate it, my tongue is yellow/white coated, puffy face/stomach problems (for years) and a line of other symptoms. Never heard about it before but now it could make sense. Recently since starting Methylation protocol I've had pretty serious problems with my breathing. Shortness of breath is whats bothering me, some days its better some days its worse. I'm taking from 500-1000mg potassium a day so doubt that it would be the problem. I'm at around 2,5-3 mg Folate/day.
Lets say I have problems with Candida, do I have to stop Methylation and fix this first? It's a shame because I do feel very much better in a lot of ways since starting. Also I've read that many of the symptoms I have could indicate Candida die off reaction and it eventually will pass so that leaves me a bit confused on what to do. On that point, I've begun supplementing Grape seed extract recently which potentially could explain that. On the other hand, I did a stool test before starting methylation and it came out fine (as the doc said). I didn't ask specifically for Candida though as I didn't know what it was around then.
