Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi, Thanks for your reply but I didn’t understand what you said about the fruit and milk, especially about 'bloom' and 'brew'?? My questions are: Can I eat fruits other than the ones she (my doctor) said not to eat and if not why not? Fruit is an easy way to get many vitamins; I cant afford supplements And do I have to ban dairy from my diet as well? My doctor said I can have milk, cream, soft white cheese and plain (non-sugared) yoghurt but no other dairy eg sour cream, buttermilk Re: fruit & spices > > I've just started a candida diet, and my doctor (who is also a > homeopath) said I could eat all fruits other than grapes, melons, > pineapple and over ripe bananas. Everyone here seems to be advising > against fruit. I know its got fructose but isn’t that complex? Milk has > lactose.. He's recommending simple sugars and starches that feed candida AND incorrect bowel bacteria. Complex starches have to be more than 3 sugar molecules long - polysaccharides. Look at the bloom on the grapes. It's yeast eating the surface sugars, including fructose, glucose and sucrose. You can make brew out of all those foods, and whole rice and grain too. > --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Bloom is the yeast growth on the outside of fruits such as grapes and plums. It's pretty conclusive that it can live on fructose. Brew is the act of culturing up a batch of bacteria or yeast. > > My questions are: > Can I eat fruits other than the ones she (my doctor) said not to eat and > if not why not?

You can get the benefit of the vitamins and minerals if you want, but realize that doing it will culture yeast and candida. Most dairy contains lactose; that is useable by both unwnated bacteria and yeasts, candida included. Sour cream and buttermilk are better for you than milk or cream. Your doctor isn't that good with foods, is he? Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 sorry about that previous post... so, duncan- since sour cream and buttermilk are ok, then could i try some cultured cottage cheese that i saw at my health food store? what about the sugar/carb content? seems pretty high. also, i saw way earlier that you said that eating raw coconut is better that taking coconut oil. what about the sugar in that? is it good to drink the liquid inside? how much is okay? so many questions.. thanks so much aliqaesong > > > > Why are sour cream and buttermilk better than milk or cream? > > Hi , > > It's because they have been cultured by probiotic bacteria that are > beneficial to the bowel, and also most of the sugar has been used up so the > yeast can't survive in it.

The food industry takes steps to prevent that and the amount of mold you'd ingest is only a few milligrams. Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
