The diet concerns me because she

cannot afford to lose more weight and needs carbs to gain weight.

She is allergic to milk, and fruit, fruit juices, sugars stir up her

candidiasis problems. How can a person start this diet and get

balanced meals and not lose weight?

Well, I can state right of the bat that although I did not, so far as I

knew, have candida, I didn't tolerate the fruit juices and fruits. The

only thing I could handle was diluted Tropicana orange juice.

Next, is your daughter lactose intolerant or casein intolerant? If she is

lactose intolerant, SCD yogurts and cheeses are basically lactose free.

If she is casein intolerant, the question would be whether it is

specifically cow casein that she has an issue with. Many of the children

on the autism spectrum don't tolerate cow milk yogurt and cheeses, but

after some healing, do just fine on goat milk yogurt and cheeses. Keep in

mind that no fresh milk is consumed on SCD.

You can get an amazing amount of carbs using low and medium carb

vegetables, peeled and well cooked.

Kim Mumbower has uploaded some great material about following SCD and

eliminating candida in our library, here:

Hopefully, you will find this helpful. Feel free to ask any other

questions you may have -- others who have dealt with dairy sensitivities

or candida may well have some hints for you.

Peggy, when I started this diet I was 100 lbs soaking wet. Now I am

procrastinating starting a weight loss diet. Absorbing your food from proper

digestion makes all the difference. Oh, and nut butter helps with weight gain

too.
