Anti Candida Diet


MDRB

Recommended Posts

MDRB Explorer

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?

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
