Imo, this is probably somewhat applicable for a percentage of candida sufferers that are very sensitive. For the greater part I think fermented foods can be a wonderful addition to the diet and can be very healing and normalizing. I make fermented vegetables every year from cabbages I grow and I make kefir as well. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 > Why is fermented food a no no? What about cultured vegetable and > kefir? The reason is: " Elimination of yeast, mold and fungus in foods and the environment may be indicated for a number of Candida sufferers. Candida overgrowth can greatly increase the chances of an immune reaction to all types and forms of fungi. This results in an allergic response to yeast, mold and fungus, including mycotoxins. Many of our foods contain mycotoxins that are chemicals made by fungi. Mycotoxins are found in grains and other processed foods that have been contaminated with fungi and mold, including processed meats. The most commonly contaminated crops are peanuts, corn, and wheat. Often, other foods such as barley, apples, sorghum and rye can also be contaminated. Antibiotics and alcohol are also mycotoxins.
