Re: alcohol does not feed candida - so cheers!

[Guest guest]

Duncan that is great news! I was confused because whenever I had alcohol in the

past, I never felt any more bloated than normal-rather the opposite actually.

I was wondering if there is an alcohol that is better than others. Is hard

liquour better than wine due to the sugar content for Candida?

Thanks for the great news!!

What is your opinion on dairy? I have debated about making a homeade

egg nog using raw cream, and eggs? It would be lovely to have this

holiday drink- even better with a wee nip in it!

Thanks http://kelleygate.blogspot.com/

Hard liquor should be roughly equivalent to a very dry wine.

I know it was you who got a " candida myth " in reply to the question on

another list; we should compile the myths and their correct responses

and put them in the files section; we've dealt with half a dozen now

from that one list alone.

Maybe I should put up a page of candida myths including the alcohol---

Is xylitol bad for candida? Also what is the normal weight to lose with

candida? What is the low carb diet? And where can I find it.

Xylitol prevents adhesion so candida is evacuated; this lowers

candida numbers. It's very useful in gum, and at least harmless if

not beneficial as a sweetener.

A low-carb diet in our context isn't strictly a caloric reduction

diet as it still provides adequate carbs for robust energetic and

healthy life despite having NO sugar, starches, grains, potatoes,

sweet potatoes, yams, bananas, honey, most fruits, some of the

squashes; that pretty well summarizes the idea.

The normal weight to lose on such a diet is ALL of the fat down to

about 6%-10%, which may make some people look quite gaunt at first

depending on how much muscle tone and mass they had under all that.

This would in fact be one's " correct " body mass index.

A naturopath once told me that " alcohol is the mother of all sugars " .

I go through different periods wrt sensitivity to things that cause an

aggravation of apparently candida-related symptoms. For me, alcohol is one

of them. Since I have been symptom-free for quite a while now, as long as I

watch my diet, I allowed myself one medium glass of dry wine on Friday

night, and another yesterday lunch time, and my nose started to fill with

mucus, eventually followed by the all-to-familiar rhythmic frequent sneezing

familiar, and then the nose started to drip freely. By this time, Sunday

morning, things have improved a lot, with only a one half-blocked nostril

remaining from my weekend escapade.

Funny…a few days ago I was caught hungry at work, and had not had time at

home that morning to prepare my salad to eat at work for lunch, so I ate a

cheese sandwich. Absolutely no ill symptoms whatsoever…

Avraham, the naturopath is wrong. Alcohol is a waste product from the

fermentation of sugars. It suppresses the bacteria that ferment

sugars; they don't live in their own waste. No doubt excessive

amounts of alcohol are bad for you but not because it feeds candida.

Unlike the naturopath, who repeated a baseless opinion without

verifying it, I looked up the details in the medical archives and

I suggest he'd look smarter if he'd have done that too.

Mucous production from dry wine could be caused by the sulfites as

opposed to the alcohol. Others with candida have no problem with

alcohol.

Hi Duncan

I can confirm this as, on Christmas day, for the first time in more than

5 years, I had a little champagne, white wine and red wine (less than

half a glass of each) and had no ill effects at all.
