What are your candida symptoms?

Fiona

Be very careful what you choose to try out. Sugar will feed the candida. I intitially bought into some of the alkalizing stuff and it does not work if you have severe candida. I will tell you why. If you are alkaline, supposedly you cannot become infected with candida. The way a person is alkaline is because they not deficient in any minerals. If one has enough minerals they will be alklaine. However, a person with severe candida has malabsorbtion issues, and many of them. Therefore we cannot absorb the minerals and the many of the minerals we take are wasted by the bad bacteria. So you will be spinning your wheels in the mud here. I wasted months putting my faith in the ph theory. And I am not saying there is not credence to it. But you cannot hela sever candida this way. you must clean the bowel of mucoid plaque, kill off as much of the bad bacteria as possible and then take measures to improve your ph so the healthy bacteria will establish. Actually there are many ways you can help your PH without eating sugary fruit. Eating plenty og greens and fresh veggies, veggie soups, take extra vits and mins, add concentrace to you drinking water. these ar ethe most effective ways without eating fruit. You certainly do not want to gamble with any progress you have made. trust me, candida multiplies rapidly. Feed them and you will not be in a good way.


Please be careful. While I did not ever buy into the whole fruit thing, this is for people that not practically bedridden like I was. Eating fruit would have done me it. But I did waste time convinced it would help. It did not. It did not help at all. I actually got worse stressing over it and wasting precious time while I should have been bowel cleansing. I took my Ph and guess what, it was fabulous. Why...because all the minerals I was taking were comgin right out in my urine. I know this because I was still feeling horrible,worse than ever. Yet my ph was good. It is not a viable solution.

But you can focus your diet on alkaine foods , without the fruit part. The candida diet itself is pretty alkaline based. Just go lighter on the meats.
