Re: The 1st Step in Healing - Cease & Desist! :)

Yogurt is not a complete source of microbes, it tends to only have acidopilus. The microbes it offers you don't make up for the milk sugars it offers candida. A better way to replace microbes is Kefir, it has more than just acidophilus and you don't need to drink that much.

Still, it's best to avoid all dairy during the 1st 3 months of an anti-candida diet, even kefir. Best to take probiotic supplements instead.

Caffeine is murder on the adrenals and weak adrenals can be caused by and also exacerbate systemic candidiases. but it's not a major factor by any means, so some green tea is allowed. Best case scenario is naturally decaf green tea, or green tea powders that have the good stuff without the caffeine, as green tea is SO good for the immune system and kidneys.
