I hav eread over and over from different sites, books, talked with people, etc., about what can and cannot be eaten while dealing with yeast!
Is there one website, that is all knowing for sure? Some say the X,Y, Z, are good to eat, others say they are not!
I need to know for sure!
Thanks,

When in doubt, leave it out!!
It makes a difference in whether you're CLEARING yeast or trying to keep it at bay.
In the initial stages, just stick to vegetables and proteins. Nothing breaded, nothing starchy.
It's really that simple. Once you get it under control, you can branch out and eat more foods.

Rob,
Back in my pre-Lyme days when I had many bouts of candida, even systemic, I think I read every book, every handout from my holistic practitioners, etc.
When I first got Lyme and didn't know what it was, I bought the latest books on candida, and of course, now there is the Internet with websites.
I empathize with your frustration - I have yet to find diets that are 100% consistent with one another. Some are far more lenient than others.
Dr. William Crook is probably the best known author and pioneer in candida diets. I have all his books from many years ago.
I have done extremely strict candida diets in the past for several months, but they are very hard. Of course, when you have to, you have to.
I'm trying to get back on a stricter candida diet now. But part of me hates to give up fruit, etc., for the nutrients and variety. But I may have to for the initial induction phase.
I'm already gluten-free so I had already cut out most grains.
But like Lyme treatment, candida treatment seems to have different recommendations.
I wish they could all agree!!
Jill

hi Rob,
I knwo where you're coming from and when candida was a huge issue for me i was really irritated with never getting a straight answer about the diet.
I think the important thing to remember is that everyone is different and will have different sensitivities, allergies, and nutritional needs. You must figure out for yourself what those are.
The best way to do this is by keeping a food diary and putting yourself on a four day rotational diet--that way you will be able to gage if you are reacting to anything.
I also agree with Lymetoo that the less carbs, the better. I made my greatest progress when I ate only 1/4C dry of low glycemic grain a day. i did this for about a year and it worked wonders!!
