Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hello, How strict are you all with the diet. Cutting out sugar is one thing, but do you also refrain from eating cheese , white flour, etc.? How do others react to your changed eating habits? I find it pretty difficult, because in the canteen I can hardly eat anything especially because I am a vegetarian and furthermore I think as Candida is still pretty unknown people do not take it seriously when I tell them about it. This liver flush does that consist of doing an extra diet, I hope not and how long do you follow it?

How strict you need to be will be based on how ill you feel and what course of healing plan you wish to take. It makes it difficult when you can't prepare your own food, sounds to me like you might be a student or service person? from the way you described the canteen and others observing or commenting what you eat...you are right, most people are clueless when it comes to even knowing what candida is... If you have a lot of questions about your food choices, tell them you have developed a sensitivity, but don't let that get you stressed out, stress is a factor in managing this imbalance. If you can tolerate say pasta occasionally or soft cheese occasionally at this point, go enjoy! But remember they are acid forming foods and that acidity can aggravate as well. There is no special diet in order to do liver flushes/cleanes. You do them until you have no more stones - for some people 6-8 for some maybe more...It could take a while for your body to completely reverse the conditions that lead up to the overgrowth...the body heals backwards in time, so if the candida symptoms were the most recent to show, they'll be first to go.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Margarete, Welcome to the group. If you want to find the details on my diet, please search archives for Diet . On cheeses, I only eat cottage cheese. The others all seem to contain molds. I haven't been eating any flour, but I just found out I'm no longer allergic to white flour, so I may have a little bread on special occasions only. My husband is marvelously supportive, though I catch him "forgetting" every now and then when he cooks. Others have a hard time understanding. I would think it would be very hard to be a vegetarian on this kind of diet. I hope you are not a strict vegetarian.
