I haven't actually started the Candida Diet yet. I know I need to, but we just went Vegetarian last October and started trying to go Vegan in January. Basically we are Vegan with lapses to Ovo-Lacto. We being my husband and myself. I have recently found this article on Protein. It doesn't directly answer you questions about doing a Candida diet and being Vegan, but it does address the myths about the amount of protein a person needs and I think that might be helpful.
I'll let you know how things for go us we start the Candida diet because we will be doing it Vegan.
You can find more info about me at my website. I'll be putting up more about journey to better health on there in the future. I'm diabetic and currently (hoping to change this) inferitle. Good Luck!!!
