I Just Cheated!

Ok....in a moment of weakness I just cheated by eating a bowl of Kashi Cinna.Raisin Crunch!!! :( I have been on this Candida diet for 6 days and was going to puke if I didn't eat something other than meat, veggies or nuts!!!

My headaches and facial pain have subsided for 3 days now but the engery level is horrible still. I am taking Probotics 3 times daily and a garlic pill to help assist in the attack of the Candida.

Has anybody been on this diet and cheated? What side effects did you encounter? Am I doomed to fail again? Will this set me back? Does this start me from step one? Have I ruined all my hard work (all 6 days worth..not much I know). If you can't notice, I am feeling HORRIBLE AND GUILTY!! I am planning to resume the diet after this one lapse....

Thanx

Here is a Candida Diet Forum. Perhaps your question would be more likely to be addressed here. :)

If your concern is Celiac or a gluten intolerance, I don't believe that Kashi Cinnamon Crunch is gluten free.

Hope you feel better soon.

We all slip, don't be hard on yourself and just get back to the diet. :)

I did the Candida before and yes I did cheat as well. I KNOW exactly how you feel and I KNOW exactly how hard it is. For me, I was sick after I cheated, but it didn`t send me back to step one. I think you`ll be fine, just keep doing what you`ve started. Our body doesn`t get better in a day, and also it won`t be back in the same old state as it was in a day either. So, GET SOME COURAGE, forgive yourself and keep on keeping on....(I am struggling with the SCD right now, and that1s the hardest diet I`ve ever done. Maybe you wanna try it for a few days then go back to the Candida and you will feel lucky. :-) BTW, the SCD is a GREAT and simple diet, but very hard to be disciplined since I have just started. So again, I DO understand you!!!

I would also reccomend you taking flex seeds (ground, 2 tbps daily), or flex seed oil. Also, if you take Olivir (Olive extract) and Capryl that is a yeast killer!!! Seriously, I couldn`t believe it !Take it about 30 minutes before meals, about 3-4 times a day, and after you ate food take the probiotic. That way they won`t interfere. Maybe you want to think about taking some vitamins as well. I don`t mean to tell you what to do, but this is what I was told and helped me SO MUCH!!! I also had to stop birth control pills because that was triggering my sympthomes. For me, the first week or 2 was terrible. Yeah, no energy whatsoever. But then it slowly started to come back. I also worked out which made me feel so much better. Give yourself some time to adjust, and sleep as much as you can in the first week or two(this meant no cravings and temptations to me, and peace of mind....)

I wish you all the luck and discipline there is, to overcome your Candida. You can do it!!!

please take a look at this site. It was the best help I could ever find for candida. This is the best and it was the only one that really helped me.

(note: the more you worry the worse it is....forget the cheating and go on like nothing happened. I've cheated - by mistake- 10 or more times and then in 1-2 days things were good again. ). If you do have a serious candida overgrowth don't eat grains, yoghurt, nuts and cottage cheese that most of the on-line candida diets suggest. check the link I've posted and you will find out what foods are really allowed and what not + it has extremely clear information and excellent moderators + recipes + best supplements + 4.500 members .

Please dont' think that I am in any way advertising anything. I just feel that the guy who told me to look at this site actually saved my life + saved me lots of money (that I was spending on useless therapies)

The problem with the "candida diet" is that it's very restrictive. No processed foods, no sugar, very little fruit, very little starch, no yeasty/moldy foods (mushrooms, vinegar, peanut butter, etc...), and no grains. Not just no gluten... no grains at all. Whew!! You need to have some serious motivation to stick with it.

What is your motivation?

Over the last nine months I've changed my diet a lot. First I stopped eating dairy. Not easy, but I had a great motivation... being able breastfeed my son, who has a severe intolerance to casein. Mistakes meant more colic, terrible eczema, and a lack of sleep :( And truthfully... I did make some mistakes in the beginning, but I got used to it.

Four months later I took gluten out of my diet. Again... I had great motivation. I had been suffering with painful abdominal cramps, joint pain, and constipation for about six months. I noticed a major difference within 48 hours after I stopped eating gluten. WOW. I never want to go back to that again! I've never intentionally cheated, but I have become more sensitive to gluten... now I get a really itchy rash when I'm cross-contaminated.

Two months after I stopped eating gluten, I stopped eating corn. I tried this to see if it would help my son (which it did), but I was surprised to find that it helped me too. This is NOT an easy intolerance to adjust to... corn is in about 90% of processed foods. It's also not one of the "major allergens," so you have to be a real detective about food labels.

As long as I don't eat gluten, corn, or dairy I feel great! No bloating, no gas, no pain. I haven't felt this good since I was a teenager. This is my motivation.

I thought about trying the candida diet too. The only processed food I'm still eating on a regular basis is chocolate. And you know what... I realized that if I was still feeling bad I could give up chocolate. I have no shortage of willpower :) But I LIKE dark chocolate. As long as I'm eating a little bit each day, I don't feel deprived... and I don't feel tempted to cheat on the other parts of my diet that are SO important.

If you have celiac disease, then it's very important to be strict about gluten. Cut it out of your diet 100%. As far as the other foods go... this is a MAJOR lifestyle change. If you go slow and do it right you can probably stick with it for a long time. IMO, if you try to change too much at once, all you'll get is disappointment. :(

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
