Yes, your body NEEDS carbs. Your body needs to be properly nourished to fight candida ITSELF. Candida is a symptom of something else - possibly impaired digestion or weakened immunity. You need to get to the ROOT of the issue, candida is a SYMPTOM. Fix the root issue and the candida will go back to normal levels. The challenge is finding the cause because it is different for everyone. I would work on my liver though and having GOOD nutrition and work on building immune system.
