How long does fatigue last from candida yeast overgrowth?

After feeling ill for nearly a year I finally found out that I had a candida yeast overgrowth. I have been on a low sugar, low caffeine diet for about a month now and have been taking garlic and probiotics for about 2 weeks. My other symptoms seem to be getting better, but my fatigue is as bad as ever. I sleep for 12 hours on some days. When should I expect the fatigue to go away?

It takes around 3-5 months to balance between the healthy bacteria and the yeast in your body, but most people will be feeling better at 1 month into using the prescription antifungal "Diflucan." Here is your "recipe" for treating the yeast: Begin by avoiding sugar (except for dark chocolate) which is a healthy food in moderation. Remember, sugar feeds yeast. Take healthy bacteria (probiotics) to fight the yeast. I recommend Probiotic Pearls or Acidophilus Pearls twice a day for 3-5 months. At the same time, begin the herbal antifungal mix "Anti-Yeast" twice a day for 3-5 months. You can add the medication Diflucan for 6-12 weeks (get the generic form fluconazole. The brand name is $600 for 6 weeks. I hope I helped you out some, good luck and take care hun.
Who did you "find that out" from? My guess is a naturopath, not a medical doctor, since "candida yeast overgrowth" is not a real medical condition. It is a pseudo-disease diagnosed by pseudo-doctors.
Fatigue is a very common, and very vague complaint and can mean different things to different people. You certainly should be screened for hypothyroidism, diabetes, anemia and depression as those are the 4 most common medical causes of "fatigue".
You should expect the fatigue to go away once you have a real diagnosis and put on proper therapy.
