You managed to stay on a no-carb diet for five years? I tried the Candida Diet first, and when that didn't work, I went so low carb I stayed in ketosis for nearly a year. But then I realized it wasn't working and gave up on it. I'm back to eating my old diet again, and while the candida problem is still here, it's the same as it was before. To stay on the Candida Diet or not, it doesn't really matter because diet usually isn't the main source of the problem.
