This of course involves a process and experience. I have read that tomatoes are fine to eat and yet elsewhere I found they are not. I read that you can't eat potatoes but then I read somewhere else you can eat red potatoes. I read you can eat beans but then read you can't. I read to take apple cider vinegar but then read to stay away from vinegar entirely. Same for granny smith or other sour apples. I also read that yogurt isn't good but read elsewhere it is. And that you can eat organic almonds on one site but another stated only sparingly and to soak them in water first. So, what do I do? Pay attention to my own body and determine what works and what doesn't. Apple cider vinegar gives me indigestion but organic plain yogurt works great for me. I also don't have a problem with beans or raw almonds, nor do I have a problem with almond, sunflower and sesame tahini butters. I've read that Kefir is good to drink but I didn't think it was helpful but may give it another try considering yogurt has worked well for me. And the probiotic Threelac (or Fivelac) that everyone raves about doesn't seem to have any impact on me. So again trust your gut, literally.

The yeast problem can be connected to a variety of other digestive problems. When one part gets messed up it affects some of the others. WWW. archure.net/salus/nightshade.html - see page 8 - 14.

Diet does make a HUGE difference, also avoiding antibiotics. I was recently dianosed with Celiac Disease a gluten sensitive disorder that is inherited. It is no surprise or consequence that the candidia diet includes the avoidance of gluten (wheat, rye, barley and malt - sometimes oats). Many of the symptoms overlap to candidia from the celiac and in my opinion it would be well worth the effort to check out the possible connection. The newest and most effective way to test for celiac is the stool and cheek swab test from enterolab.com. The older blood test and invasive intestinal biopsy aren't necessary unless you are in advanced stages. Diet is THE treatment for celiac/gluten sensitivity and it will also deal with the candidia. Check it out, you will be glad you did. I have delt with various parts of the candidia symptoms off and on throught the years. Diet does make a HUGE difference, also avoiding antibiotics.

You know, quick, normal foods that everyone eats, prepared in a Candida friendly way. If anyone knows of one please let me know about it! I love to cook and I think you have to, in order to not go crazy on the diet." There is a great collection of recipes online. They are advertised as gluten free, but I have found most of them to be candida-diet friendly as well. A life-saver, in my opinion. Also, any of her sweet recipes call for agave syrup, but I have found that substituting food-grade vegetable glycerin and/or stevia works great. The link is: http://www.elanaspantry.com/recipes/ My personal favorites are the sesame crackers, the flax focaccia bread, and any of the truffles. Hope this helps!

Doctors even deny the relationship between candida overgrowth and the antibiotics they love to prescribe for everything; They get their information from the drug companies who make the stuff, which says it all. Professional medics resent people doing the research they themselves are too lazy to keep up with, which is what makes blog sites such as this one so necessary. The mediocal profession doesn't think holistically; i.e. "whole"istically - we need to address the whole organism, not merely the surface symptoms. Candida overgrowth can be triggered by a huge number of factors, in many combinations. Anonymous (jan 6 2010)raises a very good point often overlooked; since adrenaline helps feed candida it suggests the link between candida overgrowth and emotional stress; a self-compounding problem really, because suffering from candida is itself very stressful.
