The basic Candida diet was developed in the late 1950s by Orion Truss, when comparatively little was known about Candida albicans. He used nystatin, which doesn't work systemically in the body and therefore has limited effectiveness. Unable to eliminate Candida successfully, he tried starving it out of the body by restricting carbohydrates in the diet he outlined. We now know that trying to starve Candida causes it to shift to it's fungal form faster and spread throughout the body. It would be similar to someone coming and taking all the food out of your house. You'd go shopping too. While there was an explosion of research on candida beginning in late 1949 and early 1950s, much was still unknown at that time.
