Re: Candida Notes - First draft, please comment! :)

The anti-candida diet is fine while pregnant, especially if you juice. The only thing is you need to keep up your calories so you don't burn a lot of fat, which releases toxins, while you're breastfeeding, as those toxins will get into mother's milk.

I can't think of anything you need to avoid while pregnant except for Liver Flushing and most liver herbs, as they cause a downward flow of energy and contract the uterus.

ThreeLac is best used for only 2 weeks at most. I don't know if it's okay while pregnant, don't see why it wouldn't, but ... contact the manufacturer and find out what they say... best to not take chances! :) Garden of Life's Fungal Defense may be a better option, it isn't anything alive like Threelac and so doesn't stress out your immune system as much, if you see what I mean.

Good luck on your pregnancy! I should write up some pregnancy notes... one thing all pregnant mothers should do once they start to show is lie on their left side to relieve pressure on their liver/gallbaldder. Good luck! :) Tweet
