Changing Your Diet

I've finished reading the book, The Candida Cure.  This book is such a wealth of information.  I am being educated on so many levels.  At this point the information I'm giving is not current to where we are in Jeannette's diet.  There is a slight time lapse, but I feel like people need to know this information.  The more knowledgeable we are on this subject, the healthier we will all be.  So that is why I continue to quote excerpts from her book.

When on the Candida diet,  you will need to eliminate all sugars, dairy products, and refined carbohydrates.  What's left? Not much!  In addition, for the first one to three months, you will need to eliminate all yeast and wheat products.   Even though these items don't feed the yeast, there can be some sensitivity to them.  If you have a mild case of Candida, which I just found out is the case with Jeannette, you can expect to feel better in 30 day and hopefully fantastic in ninety days.  I have to say that Jeannette is feeling better.  She says she feels better, she has more energy and friends of mine are noticing the changes.  When a 7 year old can express how she feels, that speaks volumes to me!  I can't even imagine how she must have felt before.

The other important thing to remember, is that diet alone will not eliminate the Candida.  The antifungal medications need to work consecutively with the diet.  I'm not going to post anything about the antifungals because there are a few and that's something that should be discussed with a physician.  Jeannette was put on the Diflucan.
