This seems true when you have weak digestion. Traditional Chinese Doctor will also tell you to do so, not because you have candida, but because of your whole weak digestion, or weak spleen/stomach relationship. A balance diet is very important
For me, if one day I have good appettie, I won't have much candida symptoms. But then if there are days that I have bad appettie, candida symptoms come back. This is all due to the weak digestion. A very good chinese doctor told me that if you have good digestion, the good bacteria will come back. IF you don't have good digestion, whatever you do, you will still suffer
