Re: What to stock up on... (Candida Info)

[Guest guest]

Hello Mimi. Through my research of nutrition, I ran across Dr.

Stoll's site http://www.bcn.net/~stoll/ where he addresses an array

of disorders related to refined-products and sugar. He has a section

dedicated to Candida. He also has a bulletin board where individuals

may post. Please check his site and archives for more info on

candida. Also, Beth Loiselle has a book " The Healing Power of Whole

Foods " where she covers a little on diet for candidiasis. Both Dr.

Stoll and Beth differ from Price on several matters such as raw

honey, milk(no distinction is made btw raw and pasteurized), and

alcohol, which i do not find reasonable justification for, but for

the most part they correspond to Price. For those with Candidiasis

she recommends elimination of:

All sugars (refined and unrefined)

All REFINED complex carbohydrates

All caffeine

All alcohol

All foods to which you are allergic

All fruit (fruit juices, dried fruit, etc.)

Apple cider vinegar is acceptable but no other vinegars

Tomatoes are ok

She also says that symptoms should disappear after 3 months if you

follow this diet and dont liberalize. So after 3 months or after ALL

symptoms have disappeared, you may begin to try SMALL amounts of

temperate fruits(apples, pears, berries, grapes) NO CITRIS FRUITS.

Hope this helps a little. Also, i read somewhere that it is not

necessarily the yeast in the breads but the refining process and

sugar of the breads that aggravates the candida, of course i could be

mistaken. Check his site though for more info from others on how they

fared.
