Candida diet

[Guest guest]

My 11 year old daughter was just diagnosed with a candida yeast infection. Her

count was extremely high and one of the main things we can do to help fight off

this infection is to put her on a very strict diet. She has a mild allergy to

milk and wheat, but is very allergic to eggs. The diet is a sugar free, gluten

free, yeast free and vinegar free diet, which pretty much leaves it to meat and

vegetables with a little bit of fruit, since fruit contains natural sugar, and

some whole grains, gluten free of course. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed

right now with it, trying to wrap my head around it all. Meats and veggies are

easy to come up with, but she needs more than that. I cook a lot, but for some

reason, the overall diet seems so daunting. I know we need to do it, and I know

we will see some changes in her. She functions at about a 2 year old level, is

low to non-verbal, so she can't tell me what's going on or how she's feeling. I

guess I just need some encouraging words from anyone that has done this diet

with their child. I know that a gluten free, casien free diet is common with

autism, but this diet seems to go a step further than that. Any advice,

encouragement, or recipes would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for listening!
