Re:Re: Carrot/Garlic juice for yeast

Just catching up with emails, been offline for a few days (moving). Not sure if anyone has warned you, but carrots are high in sugar. I would stay away from carrots if I was also battling candida. Garlic would be good, unless your body isn't tolerant of it. But I'd find another way to eat or swallow garlic.

I had a systemic candida overgrowth when I started SCD. Didn't touch a carrot for 2 years, until I had my levels back under control. Also couldn't tolerate antifungals of any kind, so no garlic or anything else helpful. Actually, my body has developed an allergy to beta carotene, so I still don't eat carrots very often [grin].

To get my candida levels back under control I just ate low-carb SCD for 2 years. Worked well for me, actually, as I didn't go through die-off stress, and also got my digestive symptoms under good management.

I was just looking at some stuff online about drinking fresh carrot and raw garlic juice to battle candida. Has anyone heard of or had any experience with this?Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa 15UC April 2008, diagnosed Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)No meds except for the stupid iron pill I have to take that is SO illegal

you are a brave soul Alyssa- doc has given diflucan/nystatin on/off but didn't

mention garlic - maybe just cause it's hard to take ?or maybe trying to avoid

die-off???

i know it can take a year to get rid of but i guess after years of being a

sugar addict i should battle harder and eat garlic too - did you test ok with it

at A. K. 's office???

you are a brave soul Alyssa-Lol =) doc has given diflucan/nystatin on/off but didn't mention garlic - maybe just cause it's hard to take ?or maybe trying to avoid die-off???Or maybe because he doesn't make any money prescribing you garlic? I don't know your particular doctor, but I've never met a doctor (other than holistic ones) who would prescribe something other than conventional meds.i know it can take a year to get rid of but i guess after years of being a sugar addict i should battle harder and eat garlic too - did you test ok with it at A. K. 's office???I tested cooked garlic, not raw, but my colon LOVED the cooked =) THe only die off symptoms I'm having today are headaches and maybe a bit more D/ gas, but not bad. THen again, I've never been one for major die off reactions!! I would definitely try it if I were you!! If you read about raw garlic online, it's amazing how good it is for you. You're so sensitive though, I hope you don't start with a whole clove like I did =) Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa 15UC April 2008, diagnosed Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)No meds except for the stupid iron pill I have to take that is SO illegal
