Food Combining
Does anyone know if there is any validity to food combining? You know, stuff like, "Eat fruit alone or leave it alone." It supposedly enhances digestion. It has something to do with enzymes.
Just thought I'd ask.
To some degree, yes, but I think most of us with candida have pretty messed up digestive systems and need more help than this. I take digestive enzymes at every meal, and swear by them. Especially helpful are enzyme mixtures that include cellulase (which actually helps your body digeste the candida :)! ) and HCl (which increases your absorption of vitamins and minerals and increases the acidity of your stomach, which the candida DO NOT like). I've had really good luck with both.
I think there is merit to food combining but it's one of those things that can become obessive..There are neutral fruit (apples grapes) that can mix w/veggies. I think on a candida diet, food combining is important..candida can live on the gas created by bad food combining. I eat melon alone, that is one thing I stuck with as far as food combining.
