Candida Diet

My diet is predominantly meat and vegetables too. I can do a little brown rice, no soy products, no dairy or wheat. I eat some rice bread or a rice pancake about once a month, like it's a real treat. I can have a small amount of popcorn occasionally, but if I have too much I can't sleep and I actually have a candida hangover the next day. I can seem to tolerate avocados once in a while and haven't tried the coconut again. I eat a lot of salads and occasionally put 1/2 apple or a few strawberries in it. The dr. swears I should be able to eat a few pieces of fruit a day, but I can't do it very often. Sometimes maybe a half cup of blueberries with some rice milk. Mind you, this is while I'm using Nystatin. Sometimes I get so desperate I'll chew a cookie or piece of candy and then spit it out and wash my mouth out. My husband calls me the psuedo-bulimic! It gets me through the worst at times when I think I could go crazy. Without Nystatin it's almost starvation. I am actually up about 15 pounds from the time I was on the real severe diet.

I probably eat out more than I should. You never know what's in so many things when you're eating out, but our lifestyle, family and friends revolves around eating out. That's what I mean when I said I have to isolate myself. I spent too many years alone in this house with my hamburger salad and green beans!!!


and I made wonderful chocolate cookies with buckwheat and soo much sugar, and do you think I could manage to just nibble? No, I had to eat four of them. A week later I am still paying, but i will get out today.
it is St Johns night tonight, and we celebrate Midsummer here in Norway and Sweden. In Norway we light a fire by the ocean at night to "help the sun turn", but I am just going to a friend. It is raining a bit, so i don't dare to be out! That will mean another few weeks in bed with cold!


I hate to admit it, but I've done the same thing with chocolate, chewed it up and spit it out. Isn't that sad?

Your diet sounds like mine but I can't even think of doing any fruit, ever. And for some reason I'm having a terrible time getting over the kombucha tea experiment. Those people should never recommend it for candida.
