“It’s All in Your Head”
Posted in Tips for Living with Candida on 18 August 2008

When stress levels get high, my symptoms get worse. My stomach gets gurgly, I get bloated and gassy, and I’m tired and easily irritated. The worst part is that I’ve had these symptoms for 12 years. They started a few months after getting married. The start could’ve been the result of me getting out of grad school with a degree in Music and wondering, “What now?” Or they could’ve started because my gut knew that my new marriage was wrong, but I didn’t listen to my gut. Because I didn’t know what was wrong with me, I thought I was a freak and that my stomach problems were all in my head. I thought my body acted irrationally, and I didn’t know how to feel “normal” again.
