I've been reading on the website from this nutritionist also that candida proliferates when the bowels are too alkaline. (http://drlwilson.com//Articles/candida.htm)
Personnally I take everything I hear now from this website or other places with a grain of salt. Everyone is in the dark when it comes to candida except for maybe doctors and health practitioners who specialize in candida. And apart from Polly (from healthyawareness...) no one seems knowledgeable enough on these forums.
No one is a doctor here is it? Even doctors are puzzled by candida. Candida is a multifaceted sickness and I think every individual has a unique constitution and specific causes for their candida. There are general guidelines, like intestinal flora, immunity etc. but when it comes to cases like yours and mine, it is much much more complicated and many factors are involved.
