Re: Final Thoughts on my being cured of Candida
Chris Kresser says candida can use ketones :

Back to the diet. The trouble with GAPS and SCD, depending on how they’re done, is that they can be extremely low-carb diets. If they’re extremely low-carb, they can become ketogenic, which means you start producing ketones. Paul Jaminet was one of the first people to start talking about this a few years ago. But there are several studies that suggest that Candida and other yeast can actually thrive on ketones. So this is one of my biggest problems with a very low-carbohydrate diet—GAPS, SCD or even sort of typical Candida diet—that removes every possible source of glucose or
Sugar in the diet. That can lead to ketone production. Then there are studies, for example, that show that neutrophils, which are white blood cells, are less able to kill Candida when ketones are present. There are studies of diabetic patients with ketoacidosis—you know, a lot of ketone production—developing Candida overgrowth. There are studies of obese people developing Candida infections when fasting causes ketosis. There are studies showing that serum drawn from fasting patients is less protected against Candida than serum drawn after meals,
I cant say which is better, very low carb or eating small amounts carbs, but i do hate being without carbs generally becouse feel so weak.
I had this morning feel like in hangover, headache ,slighty nausea and just generally feel bad,brain also fog. I think it was acetaldehyde poisoning, i taked quite a lot remedys for candida and so get quite sick from the die-off toxings released.
After reading frostymug`s cure method i am now wondering how much the remedys sterilise my gut, i
try to take the probiotics just before getting to bed,so they can travel there maybe 9 hours or so before i start take anti-fungals, would that be enough on dayly basis to keep the good bacteria populations there in the colon ? I think the bacillus species i take should spread out all the way to large intestine where they should kill candida & bad bacteria.
This is really hard work, i feel so sick .
