Candida Diet Question

i know i keep asking about flour but i was in the organic market today and they had yeast free brown rice bread... is this ok?

ive read you can have rice flour and corn flour? and spelt and buckwheat ..

if not what on earth could one eat? its impossible!!!!

ive been on this candida diet now for 1 1/2 weeks and im getting edgy...and headachy -im taking galic grapefruit seed extract and probiotic...am i missing something major that anyone can advise about?


According to Dr. Nancy Appleton PhD,in her book,"Stopping Inflammation",For Candida,all grains,sugar and dairy are no nos.Her research and reasoning makes sense.When the problem is licked then in some cases some of them can be introduced,intermittently, in small quantities.Her research says that the root cause of most disease is allergies ;food,pollution,chemical and pharmaceuticals.


I could not agree more.


I'm sure much of it is the way food is processed these days. I cannot tolerate regular milk. Organic milk works for me. It's SO weird.


Going grain-free is probably the worst part about this diet. Do you have a good cookbook for grain-free recipes? It may help you. Do you have a candida cookbook?

For me, yeast free breads weren't the whole picture. The yeast in me quickly adapted to all flours and starches. No one can make a blanket statement that corn flour is O.K.

Oh, I just thought of something, try getting an Atkins cookbook. This will be very helpful. They allow soy flour at certain phases of the diet. Soy can be problematic for thyroid. Maybe it would work in small amounts.

Try getting some low-starch veggies and do stir frys. Believe it or not, stir-frys aren't that bad for breakfast.


Hi, you are right. But, it gets depressing doesn't it? Eating stir frys for breakfast. What I would do for a pile of pancakes and a western omelet tomorrrow morning.


Yum! Haven't had pancakes in a long, long, long while--guess it's been several years. Tried buckwheat, but it's just not the same......sigh


Possibly digestive enzymes, possibly liver support. How about antioxidants? Are your bowels functioning? You need to "go" daily to get the toxic waste out. Sounds like you are entering the "die off" phase after 1.5 weeks on diet. Chlorella can assist with this.

You can live w/o flour. Candida diet is an opportunity to get healthy, not something to get thru so you can go back to eating poorly or you will just revert back.

Rule of thumb is no flour for a "while". For my nutritionist, a while was 6 months. Others will say a few weeks. It all depends on how bad you are. I have been on no flour diet for 3 years and enjoy my meals very much. I eat lots of veggies, protein of all forms, 1-2 pieces of fruit per day (tho you should just eat 1/day for 6 months), legumes, and small amounts of white rice (brown, while nutritionally better, carries mold so you may react to it) and organic dairy. The first couple weeks are hard as you are eating in a way that is not usual for you, but I got used to it and now like it.


I'm so jealous that you can eat those things! I don't think I'll ever be able to.
