Guest guest Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I have an 8 year old son who was just diagnosed with candida. He has been gluten, casein, corn and soy free for 4 years (he also has other, less common allergens). He has been on a rotation for the past 2 years. Feeding him was difficult before, now it seems impossible...taking out sugars (I use juice in his pancakes and agave in muffins) and grains (a big part of his diet..he is always hungry, but is not growing). I was curious, is candida something that you can " cure " or is it something that once you have the problem, you always have it? I've been researching all evening and do know that we all have candida and it is helpful, but problems arise when there is too much. Thanks!

Like you said you don't get rid of it or " cure " it but you can get it back to normal levels. I suppose you could say you cure the overgrowth.
