i stopped doing fruits because of the Sugar in them and i felt it was hampering
what i was trying to accomplish. I am also using dr natura fiber which helps
with bowel movements and alot of water.

i think the guy was just joking with the mcdonalds thing ..a bit of light humour never goes amiss ...

I realize you are getting lots of advice, but I understand how you feel. I felt I would go mad with cravings for sugar. It seemed to fill my head all the time.

I only got free of it by giving up all fruits, and all carbs, including spuds. I have veggies, organic meat, home made yoghurt, seeds (soaked), eggs, and salad. After reading ask.shelley (top of page), I eat lots of spicy foods (you can do a lot with chillies, and hot spices. I also eat quinoa once or twice a week in place of rice/past. Rice, millet, etc fed my candida and they just became something else for me to crave and be addicted to.

I hope you sort this out because I know how hard it is. But I think it depends upon how virulent the candida is. Mine is systemic.

I might also add that, since I have drawn back onto this more severe diet, I have also passed 'rice' parasites in my stool. You might want to condiser that possibility. If you are on 'the diet' and still craving sugar/carbs/alcohol, you might need to look at parasites. There is lots of information on the parasite forum.

One last suggestion - chromium. Are you taking any? A lack of it can cause Sugar cravings.

Hope this helps.

What kinds of cleanses have you done and how many times?

You might need to go to McDonald's and have a nice Big Mac, fries and a chocolate shake.

Fruits, veggies and nuts are fine for Gorillas but humans need a little more variety.

EVERYTHING in moderation. No, that's not mine but I believe it is good advice.

Cheers.

I'd suggest eliminating grains altogether.

Anything you feel addicted to should be eliminated, unless you're 100% sure you're "addicted" because it is doing something really good to you.
