I was exposed to extensive mold over 20 years ago. I also believe for me that very poor dietary habits played a part in getting systemic candida. I currently have pretty severe allergies to sugar, sweetners , dairy, soy, processed food, nuts, grains, fermented products. Can drink only water, juice has too much sugar. Currently I am doing pretty well on the McComb Plan, which is non-processed meats, fruits, vegetables, brown rice and potatoes. I do very poorly on high mold count days when the weather is cloudy,cool, damp and dank. I do believe you can get candida under control with a good plan and proper diet, but for me it will probably be a 1-2 year process. Candida wasn't well understood 20 years ago as it is now and there is still plenty of confusion. For me I slowly keep getting better, but it is definitely still a rollercoaster ride.
The McComb Candida Plan has up to this point worked very well for me, it costs $600+ dollars but I have been very pleased with the results. Many of the problems that I have had he has discussed on his website. I couldn't eat potatoes or fruit with any regularity until I went on his program and now I can eat a lot of potatoes and fruit which makes this diet much more manageable. Dr. McComb is also very good at answering my emails if I have any problems, questions or curiosities about this disease. It is a lot of money but for me it is well worth the investment. Take a look at the website, he has some interesting information. Good luck to us both on getting back to high vitality.
