Welcome!

Have you read the book " Nourishing Traditions " yet? It's a cookbook,

and the basis for this group -- and will give you some great hints! There

are a lot of good ideas in there that it sounds like you aren't using yet.

I don't really cook that low heat -- a lot of folks here just don't cook at

all, they eat everything raw. While HIGH heat cooking can cause

damaged fats and carcinogens, I'm not sure that everything has to

be cooked crock-pot low (unless it's just easier to). Cooking broccoli

for 4 hours takes a lot of the flavor out of it.

I use good stainless steel (if you can get to one, the Costco Business store

has excellent Sitram for a reasonable price) cookware, and do

sauteeing, stir frys, and stews. An occasional roast. Accompanied by

a pile of fermented vegies. Using butter or coconut oil. Most meals are

fast and simple -- I'm compiling a cookbook of really easy recipes

but it's not very full yet.

Are you fermenting yet? If you are dealing with candida, making kefir or

cultured vegies would likely help.

I have read nt many times. My allergies prevent me from trying grain

and milk things. I can't eat fruit either due to candida.

I wish I could try Raw goats milk, but can't find any and too scared

to drink milk as allergies are severve. I loose lots of weight when I

eat things I am allergic to.

I really thought fermented things were out of the question for candida

sufferers.

I did try the vinagar oatmeal. I brought some into have it muscle

tested. He said the allergy was so strong that he could not even

treat it.

Vinagar is also a no no with candida.

I don't always use crock pot, but is so much easier to wake up to

breakfast being already cooked.

I eat slow cooked food because of my weakened physical condition and

this is supposed to provide more energy to the body, if cooked this way.

Raw is not in the cards for me. I weakens a weak body, you have to

have strong digestion to handle it. This is from healing with whole

foods.

I really don't like crunchy brocolii and softer is easier for me to

digest. I have the digestion of a baby and have to treat it very

carefully. I am able to eat more foods now though. I have added to

veggies to my small list of allowed things.

What is costco, must be a local store.

for oil I use the fat that comes off the stock. I am allergic to all

veggie oil and butter. I think butter tastes nasty anyway.

I would love to try fermented veggies. Since I can eat beets, I might

start with them, just scared of what it will do for my hungry candida.

My medications are what is holding me back.

I did try soaked and dryed pumkin seeds. I loved them, but they did

not love me back.

Hi ,

Has your doctor recommended acidophilus or any type of probiotic for

your candida? I used to have candida problems, but have finally

gotten them well under control using acidophilis and a whole foods

diet and a few other things,including acidophilus. I couldn't eat

much in the way of raw foods for a long, long time. Now I can eat raw

milk, goat or cow, raw egg yolks in milk shakes and small amounts of

fruit. My digestion used to be awful. I'm much better now. I still

get B12 and B-complex shots every week. These shots really gave me a

big boost. My HCL(stomach acid) was very low and I still take a

little HCL to aide in the digestion of every meal. Digestive enyzmes

also help. I continue to take them after every meal.

I found not eating any refined foods at all helped a lot and now I

can't stand to eat them. Yuck!

Coconut oil should help you. Have you tried it? It is super easy to

digest. You might check out coconut oil posts right here on native-

nutrition and see what you think about other peoples experiences with

virgin coconut oil. There is also information about coconut oil and

some other excellent articles which are specifically written for

women at the Weston A. Price web site.

I know how discouraging candida can be. It is all part of the leaky

gut and subsequent allergies caused by poor digestion. It could have

been a virus or some other problem that made you vulnerable. Hang in

there. I improved and you can too.

Why do you think your medications hold your healing back?

Are you dissatisfied with your treatment plan or your doctor? I

really hunted for a doctor before I found one who could help me. I

also read books and learned a huge amount on my own. It sounds like

you are doing the same thing. Good for you!

All my best,

Sheila
