Heart Skipping Again

My heart started skipping again while we were on vacation in Florida. Irregular heartbeat is a symptom of Candida.  I did have some decaff coffee while traveling. We drove 2 days in a row of 12 hours each day. It was very difficult to find enough to eat on my Candida diet while on the road and out of town. I tried preparing a head of time, but should've prepared a little better. Decaf coffee is a no no on the Candida diet. I'm sure its because of the chemicals used to strip the caffeine from the coffee. I read on Healing Naturally By Bee that water pressed decaff coffee is okay for the Candida diet, and I found some at a Whole Foods market in Florida. However, coffee produces more acid in your body and my body is already over acidic.

"Coffee is also highly acidic and can lead to an overproduction of stomach acid that can irritate the intestines. Unbelievably, decaffeinated coffee has been shown to trigger even more acid production than regular coffee. This over-production (when combined with coffee’s laxative effects) can cause too much stomach acid to move into the intestines. All this acid can potentially cause damage to the intestinal lining." This is directly from Global Healing Center.


So maybe that is one of the reasons. Since I have gotten home from vacation, I am no longer drinking the coffee.  I've also been eating a lot of 100% bakers cacao. It is full of antioxidants, magnesium and iron.

"In its natural state chocolate is bursting with antioxidants to fight radicals - even more than fruit, vegetables, tea or wine! Chocolate supplies micronutrients, such as potassium, zinc, magnesium and iron, and is one of the richest food source of antioxidants that neutralize free radicals--rogue oxygen molecules that can accelerate aging and cause numerous health problems."

However, it is also high in saturated fat and has caffeine, two things I"m supposed to stay away from. So I think I need to slow down on the baker's cacao. I've been eating it raw and had a bunch while on vacation to tide me over. Maybe I should try and stick to using it in recipes and on rare occasions.

My heart seems to skip when I'm having a little bit of anxiety or overwhelmed with too much to do, which also makes me anxious. Also symptoms of Candida, so its a cycle. The other causes could be that I have run out of some of my herbs: High Potency Protease, Calcium-Magnesium, and I went off the Yeast Fungal Detox while on vacation. I will be ordering more High Potency Protease and Calcium Plus Vitamin D at the beginning of this coming month. I hope to be able to share that the irregular heart beat has returned to normal very soon! Say some prayers for me!

Blessings until next time!
