a lot in common. Many days I ate only meats/fish, fats, garlic,

onions, spinach and butter. And I love it. But maybe once or twice

a week I'd eat a bunch of ice cream or cereal & milk. (Bad! Bad!)

==>No, it is not possible to " accidently " enter candida; candida only

happens under certain conditions, i.e. mainly a depressed immune

system. There are some nutrients severely lacking on the Paleo Diet,

and/or something causing a depletion of nutrients. I don't have time

to go into it now.

Maybe you had candida before but didn't know it and your symptoms now

are due to healing. Especially if it is coming in cycles and you are

100% on the diet. You will notice as you go along that these waves are

shorter and less intense.

Be sure to get the coconut oil in.

Thank you Jeanne! I feel 50% validated. ;-)

Yes, as I said, I probably had it for years. But my " healing "

symptoms began before I started Bee's diet. Indeed before I ever

heard of candida. I think the Paleo Diet (low carbs, no sugar, no

grains, high in fat, high in Omega-3s, etc) - was responsible for

initializing some die-off processes. It went in waves and

everything. However, it was not enough to do the whole job, and I

ended up aggravating it. And that's how I got here.

And if this is the case (and given how common c.a. is), then maybe

Paleo people (maybe all low-carb dieters in fact) should be warned

that their diet *might* initiate a die-off, there's this thing called

candida, maybe you have it, blah blah blah...

Hi There...

I'm a bit behind on my emails. I think Paleo is great

for a normal healthy person, but not for candida.

Also much of today's fruit is way more high in sugar

than paleo fruit.

To get your body back to normal, you basically eat a

candida diet which is like Paleo without fruit. I'm

no longer on the Paleo lists as I get all the info I

need on here.
