Ok, let me give you my experience.
When I treated candida for first time in 2008, I got a point where I felt my body was asking for nutrition. I did a short protocol with diet, 21 days on Fluconazole, Threelac and some supplements. This was a month after I took one month Antibiotics . My gut was perfect before the Antibiotics . So, I thought I have ended with it and ready to continue my normal live. I didn't jump over Sugar and refined carbohydrates but began eating some fruits, rice, beans, fruit yogurts, whole bread, soy milk, potatoes, etc. Overtime, ( 3 months ) I began to feel bad again, lack of energy, bad digestions, bloating, bad all over. So, even eating in that way and taking probiotics and some natural antifungals, I couldn't keep the point I reached. I thought god will allow me to live without Sugar and refined carbohidrates for the rest of my life, and I was able to pay this price, but things were different. The monster dosen't want you eat anything. It was and still is a very sad thought to me because sick people get better when they eat. The only illness in this world that doesn't allow you to eat is this tragedy. So, you have to face two things, if you keep eating vegetables and proteins for the rest of your days, you will be miserable because carbohydrates are an important source of quick energy. But even eating complex low glycemic index carbohydrates, candida can show up again and keep you sick with food intolerances , leaky gut, etc. Otherwise, you MUST eat because you are human and need a live. I can tell you clear that the two times I have been almost normal have been eating better but not during an anticandida diet. I have been miserable with a severe diet every time I have tried it. Simple, vegetables, proteins, olive oil, coconot oil, almonds, and other fat sources, don't hold my day. Another thing is there is a point where you are afraid to eat, you don't want to eat anything because you are in a panic state. I am writing it to you because I don't want you make the same mistakes I made. Open your diet very slowly and be tracking how you feel. I had hope that god allows me to eat with limitations but I didn't happen. As you see, this is really hard because if we don't end with candida and the intestinal problems, how we can continue ??
Again, I couldn't find an intermedium point where I was symptom free but still eating a little bit better. I even tried it with Threelac and some supplements as a preventive way to avoid relapse. It didn't work.

Think about the key of any health treatment is nutrition. I am not saying I want to go to McDonalds or to eat a chessee pizza. But, natural fruit juices, milk, rice, fruits, whole bread, whole grain products, yogurts, chocolate, ice cream ( no Sugar added ) Fruit shakes, ham, there are a lot of things that we could eat to get better nutrition but this hell don't allow us. Neither allow you to feel well during a severe diet. I have more than 2 years I don't drink a orange juice or any other fruit juice. Do you think we are going to somewhere in this way ??

I am a believer in the merits of eating a raw food diet. There are many ways to do this kind of diet. I can not tolerate Sugar of any kind-fruit is definitely out. Potatoes are the worst thing you can eat. Eating low on the glycemic index is the key. Raw foods offer superior nutrition, something we all need , especially those with malabsorbtion problems-anyone suffering from dysbiosis. A hunderd percent is not necessary. 70-80% seems to work for most folks. I try to eat organic and I continue to eat good, clean, organic or wild meat, cooked. I am not a vegetarian and I consider myself a raw foodist. This diet works pretty well for me and has allowed me to recover from severe nutritional deficit after suuffering ill health for many years. I eat granny smith apples(tart), good organic yogurt, real cheese, and real butter. You can embrace a raw food diet and still eat these protein foods. In fact, I believe they are necessary to maintain good health. Hope this helps.

I found that the raw food diet will keep bowel motolity strong and symptoms of toxicity/candida will be minimized because of the cleaner nature of the digestive terrain. I do believe with even moderate fruit intake, however, that candida will remain in the background, and re-lapse is likely (It happened to me). So just because the green smoothies keep the bowels goin, and you may feel ok, I don't know what else to say, except be careful...

I also agree with one of the other posters that 70-80% raw is enough and some animal protein cooked is necessary.

I would suggest food such as this:

All the benefits of raw food, garlic onions greens ect.. but no fruit, and this actually tastes good. I eat 1 quart per day for the last 5 weeks. Have absolutely no digestive issues/symptoms since I started eating this stuff.
