Anyone have any experience with pelvic floor spasming / hypertonic pelvic floor/ pelvic guarding state?

Slightly TMI, but had an issue of severe constipation a few weeks ago and despite that issue being rectified it’s left my pelvic floor constantly spasming, which is massively pushing up my adrenaline, causing severe dysautonomic issues (heartbeat irregularities, really hot then cold, tinnitus, headaches, stomach flutters) and also making me histamine dump constantly.

For anyone with experience of this, what’s the best way to get this to heal and settle?

I’m embarking on a kill phase by following a strict diet and also taking thornes sf722. I do think it’s effective because I’ve cleared some gross biofilms already and since clearing them the die off has been more fierce, making me think the sf722 is hitting the exposed candida.

The main issue I’m encountering is acetaldehyde from the die off. It’s rough, makes me exhausted, emotional, sickly, irritable. It’s definitely not the other toxins released because my system is actually dealing with them well through motility etc, and also nothing helps this feeling eg binders don’t help, except molybdenum helps a lot which is great for breaking down acetaldehyde. Main issue with molybdenum is it depletes copper which worsens histamine breakdown as well as makes the hair grey.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to best improve acetaldehyde clearance from candida die off?

I’ve not drank for 7 months but ( TMI) I had a random bout of severe constipation this week for 5 days. It’s meant candida toxins unfortunately got backed up and are now hitting me like a truck.

I feel like how I do when I’m brutally hungover except worse because it’s not just acetaldehyde. Makes me think why bother bringing sober and healthy when shit like this happens? You know if I’m gonna feel worse than a standard hangover without drinking, at least alcohol is fun.

Candida is a fucking joke honestly

Severe candida overgrowth has been the bane of my life as I have recently posted about.

Recently for various reasons my candida overgrowth has gone into a major frenzy, essentially I feel super poisoned right now, which is triggering my vagus nerve / MCAS badly.

I have friends who are doctors (it’s not just the doctor friends who do this) and when I explained to them (MCAS/candida) they think I’m just a hypochondriac.

I try and tell myself it’s not their fault because they’re not taught about these issues but it makes me either irritated or pretty upset being called a hypochondriac when I have a crazy symptom profile that I’ve dealt with since I was young.

Does this happen to anyone else? How do you guys cope? I feel like losing my shit at them but that isn’t a really productive way to deal with it. I think mainly finding MCAS and candida is quite isolating when no one believes you.

I’ve had weird reactions to any foods that were antifungals since I was literally like 3/4 years old, coconut oil used to give me hives, brain fog, fatigue, flu like symptoms even at that age.

I’m now 28 and this overgrowth has been the bane of my life for so long. So many doctors tests, appointments, all saying I’m fine over the years. All saying it’s in my head.

I feel like I will manage to get rid of it, but I’m disgusted with western medicine that it allowed this issue to fester for so long, considering how it’s made my life so much more miserable than it needed to be. I’ve had issues with depression, anxiety, rumination, adhd like symptoms forever, and it’s crazy that going on my candida safe diet can massively reduce all of these things.

It is ridiculous how candida overgrowth is totally ignored by western medicine. I am in deep candida brain fog and irritability right now, but I’m sure once I get rid of this I’ll push forward with life
