The small intestines are slightly acidic. The friendly bacteria produce beneficial acids that keep the small intestines in that type of environment. Candida can adjust to extreme ph conditions..whether alkaline or acidic...However- Fungal candida best thrives in a alkaline environment. To my experience most meat is not that acidic..With protein bacteria/candida can produce ammonia which is a base that can nuetralize some of the acidity. It seems if meat was that acid forming then it would cause loose or runny stools. Some civilizations that ate a lot of meat would have had more health problems.
The real cause of candida has been the overuse of antibiotics, toxins/chemicals/heavy metals in our environment, poor imbalanced diets, stress, poor immune function. Eating an overalkaline diet actually contributed partially to my candida condition because it was constipating me. Too much greens seemed to be nuetralizing too much of the beneficial digestive acids/acids produced from the friendly bacteria that keep candida in check. Extreme diet changes can throw our body out of balance for a while because the our gut ecology has to adapt to the change. If people do change their diet it needs to be gradual so the body can adjust better.
I wish getting strong candida under control was as simple as having the right ph. I would have been cured a long time ago. The problem with candida is that it is highly adaptive to a wide range of ph conditions.
