Juicing - yeast? was Re:Candida, Kefir, Kombucha, diets.

April 7, 2008

Hi Alice,

I just heard it last night on one of the audios. What i am wondering

then is what about the veggie juicing. It is so important to the GAPS

diet for detox i wonder how this affects yeast. I thought on anti

yeast diets carrots are not allowed either. There is no way we could

drink greens only. My kids would riot So i am wondering if we

could still juice as normal and eliminate all the other fruits we would

have eaten - like snacks between meals.

We usually use several leaves of green or red lettuce (or swiss chard,

spinache etc), a tomatoe, a zuchinni, a couple pounds of carrots at

least, to 4 apples or 2 pears/2apples. It makes enough for 2 servings

for all 5 of us (3 kids, 2 adults) with a bit left over. I am

wondering how much sugar in there may be feeding the candida or are

they not as bad as we think because they are the single (?) molecule

sugar - as she explains in the book.

Also the other anti cand. diets say no nuts, where this allows nut

flours etc... So would i cut out the nuts too for the first few weeks.

So would GAPS then be no fruit no nuts, just meat and veggies for the

first several weeks, if so what about detox? She is quite adamant that

detox needs to take place to relieve the gut of distress.
