Candida Diet
The candida diet is a very retrictive diet. The purpose of this diet is to starve the yeast organisms by not giving them the food that they need to survive. There are some drawbacks with this diet: 1. It is not nutritionally sound and you are in danger of becoming deficient if you are on it for a long time. Please take nutritional supplements (multivitamin and extra magnesium/calcium) if you are going to try this method. 2. It takes a very Lonoooonnnnnnggggg time. You should be on the anti-candida diet for 1 month for every year that you have had candida. Some of us have had candida for over 30 years; 30 months of this diet would be really tough to do. 3. You must use herbals in conjunction with the diet; the diet alone will not kill the candida. Also, with herbals, the candida can get used to them so you need to rotate the herbals every 3 months or so.
I prefer the use of products like ThreeLac and Candex that are not so dependent on such a strict diet to see positive, tangible results. However, if you want to give it a go, here is an outline of the anti-candida diet.
