Re: Meat + veggies or fruit + veggies

It's important to note that the candida diet is not a no-carbohydrate diet. Green beans are OK on the diet, but they have a small amount of carbohydrates in them. I guess it would depend on the type of carbohydrate.

Most of my diet was based on Bee Wilder's suggestions with some modifications based on other research and personal reactions.

I typically eat fresh meat and vegetables for every meal when I'm following the diet closely. I mix and match meat and/or eggs. I eat the same vegetable for every meal for one day and then don't eat that vegetable again for 4 days. This is to prevent the yeast from figuring out how to eat that vegetable. Before I rotated them, I became intolerant of many vegetables.

I'm afraid there are probably more than a few people out there who don't do this and wonder why they react when they are eating "candida-safe" foods.

It's typically best to keep the vegetable ingredients of any dish you eat to a minimum. Meats have never been a problem for me. Multiple vegetable salads are bad because then you have to keep track of all the different veggies to avoid for 4 days.

I add in a multivitamin to help with vitamins which are lacking in the diet. It's not an exciting diet, but it helps me feel better, and I'm used to it.
