Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Any adults with Candida using the SCD on this forum? I'm new and would like to know if SCD has this diet improved your symptoms? I tested strongly positive with blood work for candida from a very reliable lab www.immunolabs.com I also have multiple food allergies. I know some people don't believe in food allergies, but i also react strongly when eating these foods like dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese...my sinuses will get inflamed and bloating will occur)eggs, peanuts, nuts, yeast,gluten grains and more. So, i cannot benefit from yoghurt or eggs. I tried this SCD diet w/ meat & veggies for about 1 month and did ok in the beginning,but then i started craving more squash. I also started developing large cracks on my lips and the corner which made me wonder if it made the candida worse. I did loose some weight and blaoting when removing gluten grains from my diet. Can you help me understand why winter squash is allowed on this diet? I understand the different complex of sugars, but cannot find an explanation from Elaine in book or webiste about why Winter Squash, which is high glycemic and sugars doesn't feed Candida? Most candida patients are instructed to not be eat High starches. I'm just as confused as to why traditional candida diets allow gluten free grains and not starchy veggies like winter squash, carrots, yams, sweet potoato. I would think brown rice, millet, quinoa still feed Candida being high glycemic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
