Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Can someone please tell me if there is a book that explains the diet for Candida. (The rotation diet-that's what I have narrowed the name down to) Who a good author is if there is such a thing. My daughter is sick again, and I have been investigating it to no end the past week. She has alot of the symptoms. I had hoped we wouldn't have to go there. But, it seems to me we do. So I'd like to buy a book, get an understanding, and go for it. I explained it to her last night. All the things it seems she can have, and the things it seems she can't. Then out of the blue, she tells me there is girl in her class that eats that way, because she is very sick. I guess the girl has been out of school the last 2 weeks with the same symptoms as my daughter, because the mother lost her job and cannot afford to buy the correct stuff. So, it did help her know someone like her. She was also able to tell me where some of the food is, and what is good and what is not. I couldn't believe it. So, that was helpful. I found a store that sells tons of organic everything, snacks, veggies, fruits, snack bars, different milk substitutes, and so forth. If it will make her better, heck I'll give it a shot. Maybe it will help us all. Any thoughts? Any experiences? Any suggestions? Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Yes I can. I used a product called candi-gone. Call thier help line, they are great people. This is the info you want. The attached files are in word format and have the diet, books etc. Call: (800) 830 4778 for help with this Advanced Digestive Care System. Diet Recommendations for a Candida or Parasite Cleanse A few things to remember while trying to kill Candida in your intestines: Yeast eats Sugar to live and reproduce itself. Biochemists have assigned the suffix " -ose " to different sugars. For instance: Lactose (dairy products), Fructose (fruits, fruit juice), Sucrose (refined sugars). Avoid all these sugars while on this cleanse. The human body stores excess sugar in the Liver as Glycogen, whereas plants store excess sugars as starch. Therefore, you should avoid high starch vegetables such as potatoes; eat only red-skinned potatoes and eat them sparingly. Carbohydrates, such as wheat bread and wheat pasta are irritating to the system. These should be avoided. Wheat alternatives would include: quinoa, amaranth, millet, spelt, teff, basmati rice, kamut. These make excellent pastas and hot cereals. Foods to be eaten while cleansing are vegetables, either raw or steamed. Lean proteins, such as organic (or natural) chicken, turkey, beef, fish and eggs. Shell fish should not be eaten since many are found to contain harmful bacteria and mercury. Soups and stews are excellent for this cleanse. Try not to mix proteins and carbohydrates or starches in the same meal. Eat proteins with vegetables; carbohydrates (pastas, breads) and starches with vegetables. Digestion will be greatly improved. ParaZYME should be added after meals. This product is ReNew Life's intestinal gut repair (for " leaky gut " ) which has added protein matrix coated probiotics (acidophilus/bifidus cultures), HCL, and para-plant enzymes (for digestion). Take at least 1 tablespoon of Organic Flax Oil per day. This Short-Change Essential Fatty Acid not only protects the cells but helps keep the integrity of the cell wall. Water intake should Increase to flush the body: Drink at least 1/2 your body weight in ozs. Here's a quick overview of what is okay and not okay to eat while cleansing: THE DIET IS ATTACHED... call them and they will explain the precess (great people) kelly <eaglestone@...> wrote: Can someone please tell me if there is a book that explains the diet for Candida.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I believe the gold standard on the topic of candida is " The Yeast Connection " by Dr Crook. He explains the theories well, and it has been out for 20 years, with a more recent edition, revised. There are also many books that discuss the rotation diet, including Dr Doris Rapp, allergist (she has many excellent books about kids that helped me when mine were young). I found some at the library- you might be able to get some through an interlibrary loan. Allergy diet theories have been around for decades, and generally reply on the allergy diet test, which is done at home by altering the diet. What is most important in my opinion, is an antifungal to knock down the candida to a mild roar- otherwise all the diets in the world did not help me for 20 years until I got that drug. All the probiotics, etc. work best when the mold in the gut has not taken over. What I had makes the candida stuff look like a picnic- I believe it was an Aspergillus species, based on the tests my doc did. Many fungal infections mimic candida, since they are similar beasties. they can become parasitic after a fashion, if you go by the definition " lives off the host to the detriment of the host " . There may be 2 main causes to it for your family, which might be caused by living around a mold damaged building, and 2) getting an infection, like candida or a sinus infection (which is almost always fungal, sometimes bacterial). But without curing the infection that is starting it, your success is likely to be limited, I speak from my own experience here. The leaky gut seems to be caused by the mold growing into the wall of the intestine, and it takes time to heal after you get the infection under control. Using acidophilous or other probiotics helps to get things healed, but usually not by itself. However, I used it when my kids had to take antibiotics, and it always helped them, I gave it dose for dose. Some people seem to be able to get better by diet alone, but I tried for 20 years, not ebing able to find a doctor who would talk about it, and nearly died before finding my Environmental allergist. I think it is because of where I live. Anyway, good luck, I hope your kids get better soon. > > Can someone please tell me if there is a book that explains the diet for > Candida.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 one other thing to consider is haveing your child tested for food allergies, I found out that I am now highly allergic to any corn products, I really mess it, but my stomach has become more stable sence I have cut out this product. I also have candida, and avoid products made with yeast, I have a big craving for sweets, but it just feeds the candida. > Can someone please tell me if there is a book that explains the diet for > Candida.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 , I agree with about Dr Crook and The Yeast Connection book and the need to get the yeast overgrowth under control so diet, etc can maintain the balance. I'll leave the more technical details for the books but here's a few snippets to stay clear about Candida Albicans, the culprit in candidiasis, and because it has some similarities but key differences with airborne mold: Fungi are composed of mushrooms, yeast and mold. Mushrooms you can see, but yeast and mold are micro-organisms meaning they are too small to see. To grow they require very different environments than mushrooms. Of the micro-fungi the distinction between mold as yeast is how they reproduce. If it sporulates - creating spores - then it is considered mold. Mold spores can be easily airborne like Penicillium, or not like Stachybotrys. (The difference has to do with how a person will be exposed). If it buds or cell-divides instead of sporulating it is considered yeast. A few of the micro-fungi can change between the two based on the changing environmental conditions. Candida Albicans is a specific yeast that generally GROWS inside the body of humans. Like mold in the air it is ubiquitous in the gut. Also like airborne mold, the mere presence is not the problem. It acutally plays a key role in the whole balance of the microflora of the digestive system. The problem is when there is " too much " because it overgrows compared to the other micro-organisms like bacteria, creating an imbalance. When bacteria overgrows we call it a bacterial infection. With virus it is a viral infection. When yeast overgrows we call it a yeast infection. The same yeast organism is involved in oral, vaginal and intestinal yeast infections, just different micro-environments of the body. Yeast in the body can be somewhat compared to mold in houses. Mold is everywhere but mold growth isn't. Mold needs an environment to grow in but it is different than yeast in the body. But when the ubiquitous " seeds " find a place they like - not too dry and not too wet but juuust right! - they germinate and start growing. (Remember Goldilocks? How did she decide to eat and sleep?) When the mold in houses is out of balance with the rest of the ecological factors (including people) then there is a problem. Human reactions can be a very sensitive indicator of that environmental shift. If the spores become airborne then we are more likely to be exposed because there are more of them in the air we breath. If they don't make spores but reproduce like yeast we are more likely to be exposed by touch. (Until it dries and blows around). And, of course, there is more to it than just spores. Like all the other components of mold growth that testing doesn't detect. etc etc. Finally, rotation diets are designed to allow people to eat even though they are allergic or reactive to most foods. The idea is to eat a little of a problem food and then avoid it for several days until it is completely out of the body. Then eating it again once, etc. This reduces the amount of that particular food the body is exposed to, not unlike 's " mold plume " except this is a " food plume " if you will. The whole idea is to keep the exposure below the level that triggers a reaction. The details are important but should not replace your own experience. IF you listen to what your body tells you. IF you have learned the language. IF you pay attention to the clues. IF you understand and trust the information it gives you. That's the hard part, both for us and the consultants.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Thank you everyone who has given me info today. Today we started. Went and bought all organic foods. Nothing with yeast, gluten, sugar, (except organic yogurt for the cultures), everything fresh, rice milk, and so forth, same with the meat, no additives preservatives-hormones, raw organic nuts. Got rid of EVERYTHING in my kitchen that contained these things. My 6 year old son is freaking out because his life has " been ruined, " I quote " how am I suppose to live without my cereal, and worse yet mom, my sugar stuff. " My daughter was not to happy, until she ate dinner tonight and didn't get sick, drank the rice milk, and didn't get sick. So, we'll see. I have to do this in baby steps. I'll let you know in couple of weeks how it works. I will have to make adjustments, but I think we all have learned this just the normal for us now. I will get the book tomorrow. I just had to get going in some sort of direction today. Today was the day, not tomorrow. Once again, thank you everyone.
