That is probably why I have gained 21 pounds in the last 9 days since adding the fruit juice fasting to my regime. However, I don't appear to have candida overgrowth the way normal people notice it such as on the skin. But, must be in my gut. Fruit is my favorite food category as well. However, the way I feel (increased pain, bloat, increased edema) the last nine days is horrible in comparison to the way I felt drinking the lemon/cayenne/maple/water combination. No, apparently the lemons didn't bother me. Nor did that kick up the gastroesophogeal reflux disease (GERD). But I'm doing the fruit juices and vegetable juices because that is the protocol for the liver/parasite/kidney cleanses and this is day 51 of fasting for me. No sense deviating too far from the recommended now because I want the best success. I will be watching this post for information we may both be able to learn from.
