I would like to share some info out of Dr. William Crook's book - The Yeast Connection Cookbook and would love to hear everyone's comments:

food sensitivities play a major role in causing symptoms in patients with CRC (Candida Related Complex). Patients often narrow their diet to avoid obvious food allergens, without properly diversifying their diet. This carries a threefold risk of poor nutrition, new food sensitivities and boredom. A wide variety of foods not only offers optimal nutrition, but lessens the likelihood of new food sensitivities from developing.

Many patients experience difficulty maintaining their weight on a low carbohydrate diet...people do not need to limit complex carbohydrates unless they are allergic to them.

High-protein and high-fat diets are not good for you, and diets containing lots of complex carbohydrates promote good health. High-protein, high-fat diets play an important role in causing many chronic health disorders, while high-complex carbohydrate diets promote good health. If we are trying to promote good health, we should not be putting people on low-carbohydrate diets with the idea that we are starving the yeast. Eating a diet rich in complex carbohydrates is the best way to promote normal bowel flora in the person with immune dysfunction.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets, especially when continued for many weeks and months, are nutritionally unsound and many individuals with candidiasis who follow such diets are troubled with persistent fatigue and weakness.

High fat diets are not good for you...most fats are just empty calories. High fat diets increase chances of disease including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes...etc. Chemical toxins are concentrated and stored in animal fat.

Dr. Crook goes on to recommend a high-protein diet with lots of green leafy vegetables only in the beginning, not to last more than 3-4 weeks. Then...slowly add in other vegetables and whole grains, making sure there is no sign of food sensitivity to develop a healthy, well diversified diet.
