questions?

May 16, 2006

Hi Bee

I have been " lurking " for a couple months, trying to figure out if

this is truly the solution I need, and all signs are pointing to

YES. I realize that my body has been telling me for years that this

has been going on. I am getting ready to make the committment. I

have a few questions. I have been reading through some of the MANY

files and have questions:

1. No beans? ...Ever? I love my hummus... no lentils? I love my

pappadums...

2. What about coffee? Can I have decaf?

3. For the first stage of the diet, no avocado?

4. Is yoghurt that is plain and organic with no sugar or sweeteners

a no-no?

5. No gluten free grains like quinoa?

I have this rash that looks like a pigment discolouration on my neck

and chest. It has started to be itchy when I eat certain things.

And it's all things that are no-nos on the candida diet - dairy,

wheat, soy (bigtime) but also garlic seems to trigger the itchiness

and I get a swollen tingly mouth with little white spots. I used to

get this when I'd eat peaches.

Thanks for your help!

Kim
