headaches, migraines, general feeling of unwellness

Hi there!!
I've gone on many roller coaster medical doctor rides for the last 2 years. Two years ago, my symptoms started off with headaches, migraines, hypoglycemia weight gain, bloating, extreme fatigue and just feeling malaise. Neurologist said it was 'migraines' so i received meds which made me hallucinate. I knew my body was under severe stress due too working way too much, always doing things for others so it just gave in. After numerous unworthy conventional doctor approaches, i sought a functional medical naturopath which suggested i do a gluten & dairy free diet and i was on supplements.
After about 3-4 months, i was actually feeling better and i decided that for a week to cheat on my diet..2 weeks later, felt ill again...arghh so went back on the diet and went through it and then 3 months again, i fell off the wagon!! and you know what happened..so january 2012, i decided i really have to be serious and was very strict on my diet..2 months later, i felt worst, kinda revisiting my original symptoms from 2 years ago but milder??? the nd suggested my gut is just not right but didn't really in depth testing..basically now for the last 2 months, i've had a headache every day, and just feel blah!! and i got my pap test results, confirmed with candida yeast!! sooo i took matters into my own hand and i've found a functional medical md to really find out what is going on?? she suggested i go off my diet so i could do the food allergy test..my conventional medicine lab work is all normal except vitamin d is 47, ferritin is 28, and lymphocytes were 3.4...sooo what is really wrong with me?? is it serious?? i'm soo stressed out??
btw bowels are great (bulky), i've been bloated, not overly but have been, maybe because of the foods i introduced..sleep patterns are ok but i do have bouts of insomnia here and there but not as bad as i was...the protocal that my nd has me on now is digestive enzymes 3x/d, b-comp-2x/d, iron glycinate 2x/d, b12 spray 2x/d, 5000 i.u d3, ulcinex (for my heartburn), gi-encap for the nawing in my tummy and probiotics increased to 2x/d for the last 1 month, and ultra clear plus renew powder which i've been on for the last year..is all this really working???
