Candida Support Group by BeeWelcome to the group s_padell! You picked the

perfect time to join since Bee is building a new site to make it easier to

browse her healing files and articles.

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/

>Much of what I have been able to read, has already been done by

me. NO sugar, chocolate, caffeine, carbonation, white flour/ bread,

dairy - I have been using cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, small amounts

of sour cream, heavy cream, ( mostly in recipies only)

Congrats on eliminating most of these, however, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese,

sour cream & heavy cream are dairy products. I encourage you to eliminate them

from your diet. Candida sufferers react to the casine in the fermented foods and

there is sugar in the cream.

>none dairy creamer for half-calf coffee.

This has got to be the *worst* chemically-inhanced cream-wannabe there is! It is

the *only* product I reacted to when I was still " well. " Try Bee's " fake cream "

or you can use Bee's egg drink, both in her recipe files. As for coffee, the

swiss water processed decaf coffee is OK to drink.

>dried or fresh fruit (I can tolerate very little.)

All fruits are high in sugar. Sugar prevents nutrients from reaching our cells.

The only fruits allowed on this program are lemons and limes used to make Bee's

electrolyte drink and tomatoes.

>Only low-carb or whole grain tortillas for most all cooking.

Sorry kiddo but tortillas are bread and extremely high carbs no matter what the

label says.

I want to encourage you to read Bee's information on her diet first, especially

the foods list to get a handle on what feeds Candida and what doesn't. The

supplements are a necessity as well to begin bringing you back to health.

==>Hello Sherrell. Welcome to our group.

> I'm 47, 5 ft 2 - & over the last 2 or so years, I have lost 70

lb.s. Hard to tell which was the determining factor in the results. I

discovered the Atkins Diet first & got results. My hardheadedness of

pushing through pain to work out? Or my health issues. So, I stumbled

upon your group. And so many of the issues are what have plagued me

since 1997. I'll try to keep it brief. And I am continuing to check

the articles on file here.

> school! Started treatment & gained back to 180 lb.s. Suffered for 2

yr.s before saying enough! Quit all meds, started to exercise again.

Even though painful & tired.

> I hope through this group & article's to achieve some sort of -if

not comfort, normalcy. Though it's been so long, I no longer know how

that feels? Much of what I have been able to read, has already been

done by me. NO sugar, chocolate, caffeine, carbonation, white flour/

bread, dairy - I have been using cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese,

small amounts of sour cream, heavy cream, ( mostly in recipies only),

none dairy creamer for half-calf coffee. I only use fresh or frozen

vegetable, dried or fresh fruit (I can tolerate very little.) Only

low-carb or whole grain tortillas for most all cooking. Only Olive

Oil for cooking. NO potatos (though I can tolerate parsnips,

cauliflower & sweet potatos.) Only sauted, broiled, slow cooker, or

electric grilled meats. Though I do use canned/ package tuna/ salmon.

I work out daily still, rotating strength & yoga every other day.

==>All of your symptoms are caused by candida, even your thyroid

problems. The only way to cure candida is to build up your immune

system with proper nutrients (diet plus supplements), and by

eliminating foods that feed candida (sugars, high carbs), and by

eliminating damaging foods, etc. When you provide your body with the

nutrients it requires it is able to heal itself. Of course the

healing process isn't all pleasant because many healing/die-off

symptoms will occur but it is well worth the time and effort.

==>Weight is the least of your concerns when you have candida and it

will normalize as you progress on this program. It is not wise to do

too much strenuous exercise which takes away energy the body needs to

heal. Nutrients are much more important for healing than exercise.

==>Keep reading my friend! Ensure you print out the article " Curing

Candida, How to Get Started " ;

We are here to help you get healthy like so many members of this

group have done, and are doing.
