Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 We really need to stick to discussion of SCD here. Sorry.... There are other lists and resources for candida diets, but you'll have to compare the two different diets yourself, if you're undecided about which one to go on. This list is just too big and we can't let the discussion branch off into off-topic stuff that much. Patti, acting list moderator till Sheila gets back. SCD vs Candida diet What is the difference between SCD & candida diets? Has SCD been more effective? I've read about kiddos who did not respond to all the antifungals very well (mine is one of them) but did extremely well following a candida diet. Thx again, Michele For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and http://www.pecanbread.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 From my understanding, a candida diet is very similar to a gf diet. We spent about two weeks on a candida diet before beginning scd because the naturopathic doctor that we saw didn't know about scd. I really can't say if it help iel yeast issues at all because we found scd about a week after starting the candida diet. It took me about a week to extensively research it, and then we switched because it just made so much more sense scientificly. What may have been accomplished for us in spending two weeks with the candida diet was that it probably helped to ween iel from his life of lots of starches. We were doing lots of rice products, but most of the other grains were eliminated immediately. Unofrtunately, we didn't have iel tested immediately before starting scd, but the naturopathic doctor did test him for yeast overgrowth when she encouraged the candida diet. We just got lab results back from our dan doctor, and his results shown no signs of yeast or fungus disbiosis. We were really happy to see that scd is paying off in that way. That's about all I can say of the difference between candida and scd. Hope it helps. Meleah SCD vs Candida diet > What is the difference between SCD & candida diets?
