Thank you so much! That seems very helpful. Nowadays, I'm getting the bloating and burping no matter what I eat, though it is pronouncedly worse with sugar (including fruit), alcohol, vinegar, etc. Of course, I've cut those foods out, except eating nothing sweet makes me feel desperate sometimes.

Thanks for asking. To tell you the truth, I'm just throwing a bunch of stuff at candida, but it is based largely on my interpretation of info I learned from your website. I can't afford to buy all the supplements, but I can buy inexpensive herbs locally by weight. I have gathered that the important parts are:

- undecylenic acid (I'm taking that)
- not feeding the candida, though starving it alone will not kill it and is likely to spread it ("you'd go shopping too if you ran out of groceries") (I'm sticking to the diet)
- avoiding the causes of excessive mucus production; mucus coats and protects the surface of the fungus
- immune support (I'm eating lemons with the peel for citrus bioflavinoids, taking pau darco, and astragalus, which I prepare myself.)
- probiotics later in the plan (I'm not there yet, but I have B Laterosporus, a probiotic recommended for candida by author Paul Pitchford in Healing with Whole Foods, which has a short, cursory section on candida)
- sweating (I bought one of those of the cheapest saunas - the silver tent personal saunas where your head sticks out the top - but it reeks so badly of plastic it hurts my lungs, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I got a cough from using it, so I'm not using it right now; I'm waiting, in hopes that it will "outgas" and finish "outgassing" so that it is usable.)
- drinking 1 quart per 50 LBS of weight's worth of water per day

I am ALSO employing the following, figuring it won't hurt and may help:
taking oregano oil
using raw garlic
using lots of coconut oil
sticking to mainly warming, drying foods as described in Healing With Whole Foods
staying warm and dry (candida likes cold, damp environments as the concepts are described in chinese medicine)
