Fruit and candida

[Guest guest]

Hi all

Someone mentioned about watching fruit consumption with candida overgrowth.

This is both a genuine concern and misleading, which is good news for fruit

lovers!=) Why? Well, the main watchword with candida is fermentation.

Avoid anything that will ferment in the gut. Those of you who practice food

combining are already well on the way to seeing the end of this and this is

the key to correct fruit consumption. Simply, fruit should be eaten on an

empty stomach and it will not then ferment and go on to feed candida. By

itself, fruit is not problematic with yeast conditions as people have been

known to deal with the problem permanently by eating an all fruit/juice diet

and the condition has gone in about 6 weeks! So, it can hardly feed it if

it all went under those circumstances.=)

The solution, have fruit for breakfast and as a starter for each meal

leaving about 20 mins before the next course. As long as you combine your

lunch well, (keep concentrated starches and proteins separate - saves a LOT

of digestive energy and distress), you can have fruit as a starter for your

evening meal too. Also cuts down on the " need " for dessert. Try it -

you'll like it!=)
