Ive improved my candida by eliminating sugar.. completely , cold turkey. it's hard but I'll never look back. saw a naturopath who really helped diagnose the issue and also helped me along the way, she was great, works in Toronto for whoever lives there - http://www.ndmedic.com so basically I had big bumps on my eyelids , especially when I woke up in the mornings, thought it was a dog allergy because I have a dog.. but after many doc visits and finally seeing a ND, we figured out it was candida overgrowth.. I do miss sugar sometimes, but when I do I nibble on cocoa nibs and pretend its milk chocolate, lol, anything to keep my eye lids from itching and swelling is worth it
