My body is working against me. I give up!

no, not really.
I haven't posted in a while. I still need to finish writing the story of my diagnosis, the liver cleansing diet and the Candida diet. But things got messed up in my life again (my life has a way of getting all stressed and messed up every time things seem to start looking up).

I have been keeping with the Candida diet and I have been seeing results. My sugar levels dropped to a steady 90-110 at all times of the day (great right?) and I had more energy, I lost fat (went down in sizes and muscles looking better) though not much weight and all in all I thought I was on the right track.

So yesterday I went ahead and did the blood tests. The ones I normally do every 3 months. This time we postponed the tests for almost 6 months. My doctor was happy to hear about the Candida diagnosis and encouraged me to seek help in natural remedies and nutrition.

But today.... today I got the results. Well most of them. For some reason, although my own gluco-meter showed me a nice 110 result in the morning, by the time I got to the clinic they measured 123 (I had been fasting for over 12 hours by then), my triglycerides went up (!!) to a whopping 305, despite my taking a medication for it and my cholesterol also went up despite significantly decreasing my intake of protein.

I have no idea anymore why this happens or what to do. If I eat too much protein and no carbs my sugar goes sky high and my liver is on the verge of failure. If I lower my protein intake and consume more complex carbs my sugar drops a bit but my cholesterol and triglycerides go through the roof.

I know that I am eating right. I am not over eating and I am following a balanced diet. And yet my body refuses to get back into balance.

I don't want more pills and chemicals and I don't want more medical intervention. There simply HAS to be another way, a better way. But I am at a loss here.

I could try eating just lettuce for a day or two...... no idea where that would get me lol...

No, I am not really laughing here. In fact I am crying with despair. I am so sick (literally) from trying to figure out what is the best way for me and for my body and I am getting sicker with each pill I take.
