I thought this was one of the reasons that food combining was important. Is this not the case? Does the Candida yeast have the enzymes to split carbohydrates into sugars? Even at its best the bodies digestion would likely be less than 100 percent efficient, which would mean a person would have some undigested carbohydrate in their gut. Likely the carbohydrate would be fermented by some bacteria or yeasts producing the sugars that Candida feeds on perhaps. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
