Guest guest Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Can you send us the link you found? It will be helpful to see the text in context. But yes, for some people dealing with high candida levels, they have to watch the amount of honey and/or fruit juices they consume, so including this with coconut oil defeats the purpose of using coconut oil for its antifungal properties. All of the candida elimination information I’ve come across indicates that you should limit the amount of honey and fruit – not necessarily stop using them completely, but needing to limit the amounts you eat. For a while, anyway. Coconut oil is an optional antifungal. On the other hand, sometimes you don’t have to go to a drastic yeast elimination level and completely stop eating all the trigger foods. And some foods are more problematic than others depending on the individual. So perhaps some people, who posted the information you refer to, found they could still tolerate a bit of honey or fruit with coconut oil (sounds like a strange combination, though!) and still eliminate their candida levels over time – or perhaps they had to eliminate cheeses and high-carb veggies completely. Eliminating high levels of yeast isn’t a solitary process. You also have to work on restoring your entire gut ecology, and improving your immune system. All of which takes time. Kim M.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Maybe manuka honey, which is a strong antibacterial - I'm not sure whether it is anantifungal as well though?Just a thought.MaraFound a link on pecan bread that saying that some people combined coconut oil with honey and juices to get rid of their yeast issues, but I thought those were foods you were supposed to stay away from if you're having yeast problems?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 I looked at that type of honey at WF. It's scary, has anyone tasted it? I've never seen black honey before, I'm not 100% that's what it was but I remember thinking it's awfully expensive to be so gross looking.
