I was thinking that since there is so much different info out there.. we could try to compile a list here that would be a good diet guideline for killing candida....

I looked at numerous web sites...and this is the diet that I felt was the best.... but I have questions about soy..and products like miso,and tempeh.... as well as home made sourkraut(sp?)-with no vinegar...

So Ill post what I have... and then in a couple days.. i will put together a list that will hopefully be handy!
