Re: What has helped your vulvar pain the most? TO JULIE

Hey ,

Did you go off of the diet?

I have read that some people need to be on it all of the time. When I was on the candida diet I had NO burning or itching, when I went off of it, it returned.

Hi --

I never went back to my pre-candida way of eating, though I would say

it was humanly impossible for me to continue on the diet I was

following (no sugar, yeast, corn, gluten, dairy, processed or packaged

food including cans, alcohol, fermented foods, etc). I lost way too

much weight, it was scary. My ribs were literally popping out as were

my hip bones.

When I decided to loosen up a bit on that diet, I never went back to

white and processed foods. I never drank soda. I didn't really drink

beer or wine or sweet alcoholic drinks, only liquor with club soda. I

always watched my sugar intake. Things like that.

I did go back to that diet for a while when this new pain started. No

such luck. Also I have not noticed any correlation between what I eat

and my pain, whereas last time it was REALLY notieable.

My intuition says that what I'm dealing with now is a whole new beast,

and this beast does not have to do with eating sugar.

,

I am on an anti-candida diet (when I don't cheat) and I too lost a bit

too much weight! I am going to be trying to even out with lots of good

oils - coconut oil, cultured butter, olive oil, and avocados, which are

a very healthy raw fat. Also flaxseed/flaxseed oil and lots of organic

proteins and fatty fish - I don't eat fish because of the mercury, but

it is a good, mostly healthy way to get the weight back on.
