Candida Diet

I tested that I having a mild candida growth. I know I am suppose to be off all sweeteners and yeast. I am taking garlic every day to fight this.

I have been researching candida and have read that I shouldn't have starches, dairy or fruits. My doctor didn't say anything about eliminating or limiting these foods. I feel I really need them. For dairy, I mostly rely on butter for the flavor and calories. I also need the fruits and non-gluten grains and starchy vegetables for calories. I realize beans provide calories but I get extreme gas from them.

Since I only have a mild candida growth, am I doing enough to kill it? I was hoping to bring sweeteners back to my diet for variety and calories. It has been so long since I've had chocolate and it would be such a nice treat.

Hi - just recently joined the forum and came across your entry. Don't know if you still have the problem but probiotics are actually the best defense I know of against Candida. You should get a strong one, which is refrigerated, and unfortunately, can be a little pricey. A lot of health food stores like Whole Foods have their own brands which are a lot cheaper. If you get one of the combos - acidophillus and bifidus, it is even better. Also, eating yogurt daily helps as well as olive oil - it is a natural "antibiotic" so to speak. You can add it to salads or things like that. This can usually help fight off the Candida without having to further lose important calories and cravings (!) we all need.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
