Re: why do I have to give up sugary foods?
The candida is killed slower by the herbal remedies than they are fueled by sugar. You can never get rid of candida completly, nor would you want to because it has its place in the gut flora, albeit a small place. Then you must consider biological terrain which, when off, allows candida to proliferate. Depending on the individual, different things must be dealt with in order for the gut to normalize. It's not just a
Sugar issue. Heavy metals, chemicals,
food sensitivities , medications, stress, acid/alkiline balance and other
parasites all play a major role on whether a person makes a good host for candida overgrowth. So many imbalances may need to be fixed before the dysbiosis (abnormal gut flora) is brought under control.
Remember also that it is only in recent history that
Sugar has dominated our culture. I think the important thing to remember is it's not a normal, healthy practice to eat processed foods and
Sugar in the first place. Over consumption of sugar(white flour and dairy)not only feeds candida but also contributes to a plethora of illnesses from autoimmune dysfunctions (diabetes,lupus, arthritis, etc), to heart disease and cancer.
