Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi there, Starting off with alcohol seems a bit daring! Why not try with fruit - I read here the other day that berries are very low in sugar, and I also have green apples. The other thing is, you might actually be allergic to alcohol...I was. So even though my actual yeast levels are currently very low, I would still react to the tiny bit of alcohol it produces, or to wines etc. I got over it by having NAET allergy treatment - just as well as I want a slurp of champagne at my upcoming wedding!

Sometime try grapes and see how you do, although if you are slowly introducing fruit, grapes are a sugary one to try immediately. Hi there I am thinking there is maybe just a lot of candida around for this to be happening. It wasn't happening before I started the candida diet, that is the wierd thing.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Allergy tests? My dad is also allergic to alcohol, he gets a bright pink skin flush after even a small amount, and a hangover from just a couple of glasses of wine. We are all having NAET allergy treatment - I have to say it has been successful in getting rid of some of my allergies. If you google NAET you will get some more information.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I agree with Olif. When you stop eating dairy and gluten/wheat your body starts to heal itself but eating it again will just set off the original problem. I don't wat any Gluten/wheator dairy and rarely eat any processed corn products.

And I am guessing that is because I am still taking daily hydrocortisone as much as anything. I just have very occasional use of vinegar and haven't noticed any bad effects but the amount I use is very, very small. The last time I came off a candida diet, ten years ago or so, I became very ill when I bought some tonic for fatigue and did not check the label. Yes, you got it, heaps of sugar. At that time I was starving the candida out and not using much in the way of anti-fungals or probiotics and I thought this time it would be different, but as I say, maybe the h/c is at fault there. Just awake so not reallys ure but it feels like the headache is easing. I won't be in any rush to repeat the experience.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Did you have organic wine? If not, be aware that it could be chemicals in the wine that caused you to have a bad reaction. Chemicals are added to mature the wine faster. Perhaps you should try an organic wine. Keen Re: HELP?! How can I get off the candida diet?

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 That would explain it, I've also had a similar reaction to foods I took out of my diet. Keen Re: HELP?!

From what I know it is because when you are eating them all the time, your body is sort of " stuck " in this perpetual reaction. But then when you back away from them, your body gets to get a leg up so to speak. But then when you try them again you get a bigger reaction because your body has gotten used to not being stuck in a continual reaction. _jason_ _________ ________ _______ _____ ____ ___ __ _ _ _ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 My kinesiologist/chiropractor said something years ago about food allergies, but I suspect it's similar to candida symptoms as well -- basically when you take away the things that affect you the most (in my case it was wheat, chocolate, brewer's yeast, sugar), other allergies can start popping up, with different symptoms -- but you never noticed them before because your immune system was too busy figthing the big things, and didnt have enough resources to fight the other ones (which is what symptoms are - byproduct of the immune reaction). Maybe you're having a similar reaction -- in fact glutent/dairy may have been bothering you before, but your immune system was too busy fighting other things so you didn't notice the senstivity to gluten dairy. just my 2 cents... asli " It wasn't happening before I started the candida diet, that is the wierd thing.

Hi Alison I have been experimenting somewhat and I seem to be reasonably OK with cheese, mushrooms and even had some wheat tortillas which gave me a little bit of wind. The real problem I think is probably naked sugar as in the wine I had. My body is definitely saying a BIG NO to that. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
