Anti Candida Diet


MDRB

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm wanting to start the anti candida diet. I know that I should cut out sugars, mushrooms, vinegars and fruits but I'm unsure about what else I need to do. What do I need to keep out of my diet permanently and what can I add in (and after how long).

I would really appreciate any advise from anyone who has tried this.

Thanks

What worked for me was to cut sugars, yeasts (including mushrooms and other fungi), vinegars, and fruits. I also started taking caprylic acid capsules, which I continued for maybe two or three months I think. It was awhile before I could add fruits back in, and I would guess the time will vary from person to person. For months it was only one piece of fruit a week at most.

I still avoid the other items, but again we're all different. I use Stevia for a sweetener.

The first two week were the toughest, as there was a definite withdrawal/die-off.

Thanks for the advice :)

What sort of symptoms can I expect with the die off?

How will I know when it is ok to start adding fruit etc back in my diet?

What I felt most was cravings, but there was enough relief to give me the willpower to continue. Most of this was over in around two weeks.

I don't know if there is a specific sign to suggest that fruits will be more tolerated. I'd simply wait at least a few months before trying any - probably six months or more. That is after you feel great, and know that the candida is no longer an issue. Then try one piece of fresh fruit, like say an apple, and wait a week to see how you feel. I suppose the digestive system will need to re-adapt too, which might also make you feel a little off if you eat too much too soon, even if candida isn't flaring up.

hello

you can find some information about the anti-candida diet here:

Open Original Shared Link

if you smoke you have to cut it out cause it makes your immune system weaker.

the symptoms from the dying off are usually gas, bloating, headaches,feeling extremely tired and extremely sleepy, but it depends on how many toxins you have and how strictly you follow your anti-candida diet. Drink plenty of water to help the toxins leave your body sooner!!!

good luck!!

I just found out I have a external yeast infection. I can give up yeast, vinegar, fungi not problem. But fruit? It is about to be summer!!! I can't live without bannanas. When I get sick it is the only thing I can eat.

Are there any foods, supplements that can kill candida? I would be interested in that.

Thanks.

of course there are....I am taking olive leaf extract and it is actually working. You can talk to your doctor about what you can take. You must take a supplement if you want to kill candida. But you have to change your diet too.....there is one supplement that claims to kill candida without making you change your diet. It is called threelak (I am not sure about the spelling) but I haven't tried it....You can check it in the net. Garlik is also a natural candida killer...

good luck

Here are a few that I have heard of:

Grapefruit seed extract

Garlic

Olive leaf extract

Aloe vera juice

Coconut oil

I have heard that some people cut out potato etc?

I can understand giving up the fruit because of all the sugar, but Vegetables???

Is there any reason to cut out vegetables or carbs?

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
