Yeah dairy is a problem.

Thank goodness I can eat eggs. Oh I have no problem

with fat . I find I need a lot more of it just to keep

from losing weight. Lots of butter on everything and

olive oil, and I'm getting the impression that

safflower oil is good as well for a candida diet. But

I gather you don't do the food rotation then? That

seems to be par for the course with candida so there's

also the issue of having to make sure I leave a couple

of days between eating certain kinds of foods.

I eat tonnes of protein. And fats as well. I am

getting used to this as I was a vegetarian for almost

five years.

I think the nuts are going to have to go as well.

So am I.

Another thing is that the more I read on teh web the

more contradictory advice I see regarding what is O.K.

to eat and what isn't. It's getting very confusing.

And there seem to be a lot of very expensive solutions

and as someone who is on a fixed income I find it

rather disheartening and hoping I don't have to go

that route to deal with this and get my life back.

Some sources say sweet potatoes are fine and potatoes

with skin, others say stay away from them for sure.

Others say corn is totally off limits, some say it can

be eaten in moderation. Some say oats, millet, rye,

buckwheat are fine. Others say stay away. I'm

finding I just ahve to find out for myself. I think I

will get rid of the grains, one more time, and maybe

hold on to the sweet potato. What have others

experienced with sweet potatoes?

What about carrots and beets? Are they considered

high-carb vegetables? Some lists say eat them, others

say to avoid them.

Slowly over the past couple of years I have pulled my health up,

getting rid of steroids (prescribed for very low BP) changing to a

high fat diet (joined the Weston A Price Foundation), H202 baths,

colonics, and skin brushing. A little light yoga has kept me ticking

over, but a lot of the time my activity is limited as my adrenals are

still under par.

==>That's wonderful you've been able to get healthier. Steriods are

not necessary for low blood pressure - I had that too, and simply a

very good ocean sea salt like Celtic with over 84 minerals will

normalize your blood pressure within a week or two - take the drink I

recommend - 1/4 tsp. ocean sea salt and the juice of 1/2 lemon in 6

ounces of clean water 6 times a day (3 with meals to aid digestion).

==>You and your husband could do the diet I recommend, which is much

healthier than Atkin's (although Atkins has a lot right) - if your

husband doesn't have candida he would modify it somewhat of course.

You would both benefit by reading my article which has all of the

basics about foods in it. My diet is also based on Weston A. Price

and the Optimal Diet by Dr. Jan K in Poland - see our Candida Diet

folder for the website. The Optimal Diet recommends certain ratios

of proteins to fats to carbs for losing weight.

==>Evidently the Optimal Diet is done cold turkey without any ill

effects, even though it is very high in fat - maybe read a lot of the

articles at their website and you will understand.

==>Please do read my main article " How to Successfully Overcome

Candida " before you decide to do the exactly same diet your husband

does. You say you are taking a ton of nutrients/supplements -

remember that sometimes " more is not better " because you can

overwhelm your body with too many things. The idea is to nudge the

body towards healing, harnessing its powerful healing mechanisms.

Diet is the most important aspect of getting well.

The best in health,

==>Hi Jo. Yes, Himalayan sea salt is great too. I have it and it

contains over 80 minerals. The pink color is a natural color. Dr.

Mercola also sells it on his site www.mercola.com - he lives in

Chicago, Illinois.

Best wishes to you too Jo!

P.S. Jo, may I please ask that you trim your messages - see our Candida

Group Info folder for how to do it correctly. Thanks a bunch.
