why kefir & yogurt are not good for candida

==>Dear , you seem to have gotten a lot of answers to your

question, but I wanted to add some information about candida sufferers

and why they cannot tolerate kefir and yogurt, even when homemade.

Evidently when you ferment them long enough the lactose changes into

galactose, which is another type of sugar. I couldn't figure out why

kefir and yogurt weren't good for candida, and finally I found out.

==>Anyone with candida will do better not eating kefir or yogurt

because you are still getting sugar, which is galactose.

I hadn't really thought about that. It makes sense because our bodies

break down lactose in the same way. It's my understanding that the enzyme

lactase breaks lactose down into galactose which is much easier on our

digestion (supposedly), but we all know that pretty much ANYTHING ending

in -ose is " sugar " .

I wouldn't have necessarily expected that to be TOO much of a problem

since we do get some sugar from our veggies, but I can certainly

understand the connection.

Thanks!

I quickly found this out as I eliminated it from my diet for a good month or

more. When I added it back in, I had a bad flare with itching and burning. I now

know that Bee is right on again!! Val
