SCD/GAPS and Candida

[Guest guest]

I have read GAPS and SCD and am confused b/c the recommended foods are

so high in sugar (as honey and dried fruit). Both books point out

that people with GAPS tend to have an overrun of candida albicans, so

it would seem that foods with a lot of honey/fruit is not advised.

However, w/o grains and dairy, there isn't a whole heck of a lot to

eat either, and I would like to have some honey/fruit in my diet if

possible.

I am wondering for those of you who are doing this diet and suspect

you also have a problem with candida, what are you doing? Are you

following the diet and trusting the probiotc plus removal of offending

foods will heal your gut? Does anyone know if McBride or Gottschall

addressed this issue anywhere?

Thanks!
