There is nothing wrong with fats - butter, olive oil, eggs, cod liver oil are far more healthy then white rice or cakes or Sugar !!

Avoid meat, eat only veggie, fish and eggs - perfect food.

Grains ? - White rice (low cellulose) or millet (low cellulose ) ONLY !!

I can't agree in my case, because diet was not, and often, is not, the cause for dysbiosis. More often than not you'll find that Antibiotics are implicated. Three bouts of strep throat in my teens/twenties plus one bout of a dry socket after wisdom teeth removal. these are the 4 course of Antibiotics that I can recall were the start of my problems. That was 30 years ago, when Antibiotics were dispensed pretty regularly.

The dysbiosis, or more specifically, the harmful bacteria, have the ability to cause the liver to slow the production of bile, in order to preserve their own survival. In this case, ingesting more carbs was not helpful to me.

Diet alone couldn't reverse these effects for me. The NIH is aggressively studying the impact of intestinal microbiota on the human host through a government funded project called the Human Microbiome Project. It started in 2008 and the number of studies related to this subject are increasing exponentially. There's finally a realization that there are numerous causes for the destruction of what's now believed to be 70% of the body's immune system; GI Tract Microbiota.

One of the challenges that remains, is how to restore this system once it's disrupted. I'm sorry to say that the simple ingestion of carbs is not the answer. It's far more complex than that.

Can diet be a contributor to dysbiosis? Yes, of course. However, for most people who are posting on this forum, it's too late, that's why they're here. Dysbiosis is present, which is why they are on the so called anti-candida diets to begin with, and which is why they feel terrible when also ingesting carbs; the good bacteria are simply not present for processing these carbs for proper use by the host, but the bad bacteria need the carbs to thrive.

Anyway, I'd rather not debate to point, because this is a support forum. So for those who are suffering, I'd just like to let you know that there's hope. Take a look at these links:
