Sweet Foods
There have been periods of months where I haven't eaten a single sweet thing and my candida has not improved while at other times I've included a good amount of sweet things and my candida has either not gotten worse or possibly improved. I have failed to see a direct correlation between intake of sweet things and candida flareup.
Hi, There was a time when I felt better eating sweet foods because the candida was being satisfied. It's when you stop that you feel the worst because it's dying off.
Over time, I have shifted from a single-minded focus on anti-candida eating to a diet that is both anti-candida but also harmonizing to my system - and that includes the sweet flavor in my diet from time to time. Sometimes I need to include the quick energy from sweet things to give my system immediate energy to keep functioning. Sweet things sometimes counter fatigue (if not overdone) and can help my body, including my immune system, to be alert enough to fend off candida. Fatigue is one of my top problems.
