thank you so much for all of that information, very generous of you! i am definitely going to buy coconut oil tomorrow, i think thatll be a big help. i am just new to this and my naturopathic doctor didnt really give me much information honestly. he said to me , try the anti candida diet meat and green veggies and told me to buy a book. that was it. it wasnt really that much information at all so i had to research it. i ordered the book on amazon and i am waiting for it to arrive in the mail. i just wish he gave me more information on it and i will start using the calorie counter. he told me to take probiotics now but will that really feed the yeast? how do i know when to start? ii really wish he gave me better instructions and sorrry if this post is missing letters or anything im using my cell and the message box is gigantic. thank you for your help ! being a newbie i neeed all the help and advice possible i am just terrified of losing weight
