Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi Ally, Congratulations : ) My name is & I'm new to the group. I agree with you, why introduce sugar & yeast back in. None of them, including wheat, are very good for any of us. Sugar hinders us in so many ways including during our periods & helps to promote any kind of dis-ease the body takes on b/c our immune system is low. In the blood type diet, none of the blood types can eat mainstream wheat. Dairy is no good either for every blood type except for AB & even then only some types of dairy. Anything in moderation is okay, but I found that once I went back to eating mainstream foods, it was easier to binge & my body was hit hard after being on the Candida diet for only 3 months. Also it's said that if one craves sweets, there is an imbalance in the body that needs to be addressed or it could be emotional eating... sugar to make us feel bloated & overweight to confirm we aren't worthy, or sugar to congratulate us on a job well done (we learn this during celebrational times & it's terrible that we just model everyone else even if we aren't in the mood for something sweet). The choice is yours of course. : ) Be well ! All clear Hi, I've had candida for about a year (maybe longer but milder symptoms, was on antibiotics for acne for 18 years), and was finally diagnosed at christmas when my symptoms really escalated (constant UTI pain and dizziness, I think things escalated at this time due to the amount of sugar / alcohol i was consuming, like you do during the holiday season). I visited my doctor who seemed only interested in treating the symptoms, and not the cause, I must say that I got to a point with the constant bladder pain that I considered ending my life. Fortunatly during one of my many sleepless, painful nights I came across a web site talking about candida and the symptoms and everything seemed to fall into place. So I went back to my doctor to mention it, who of course wasn't interested. I then found a local homeopath who himself had candida a few years ago and now treats it (among many other things). When i first met him he told me that it could be a long road to recovery 6 months - 3 years, but to have faith in him as he knew all about it, having had been there himself and having since treated loads of people. I was treated using a bio-resonance therapy machine and supplements to kill the candida / parasites, along with removing sugar and yeast from my diet. I had regular appointments (weekly if i was bad, monthly if things were good) Now 7 months on, I have just been given the all- clear today (i suspected that I was clear the last couple of weeks as i havn't felt this good in years) There have been real highs (when I have felt quite good) and real lows (when the candida has fought back, and made me bed-ridden) during the last 7 months. I am now starting on a course of pro-biotics (good bacteria) which I will take for 6 months, and to drink hot water with lemon in, to make my body less acidic. He's also said that I can now start to re-introduce sugar and yeast back into my diet, but I must say I'm a bit afraid to, I've lived without it for the last 7 months why eat it again? When I think back to how desperate i was at the start of this battle and could never see an end, I can't believe how far I've come. I just wanted to write this to maybe give hope to anyone who might read this, and to say that YOU CAN BEAT THIS! I have been given back my life, and my children have their mother back. Thanks to all that have posted to this group, it has been a great support. Ally Lincoln, England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
