Re: nuts,coconut milk, grapefruit/cranberries, brown rice, oats, dairy

nuts and seeds are ok.

3 fruits ok and will not feed candida: cranberries, lemons and black currant

(think black currant).

young *cultured* cocnut milk is probiotic and a big plus--yes cultured is great.

only 4 grains that are more like seeds, they are low or no sugar though high in

carbs, are safe on candida diet: quinoa, millet, amaranth and buckwheat.

Cultured dairy is great, very probiotic. I do not recommend store-bought

products, they are still way too sweet. I culture my milk myself with Primal

Defense (get on iherb.com for besty price). Pop the tabs right in the bottle,

let it sit for 24 hours room temp in winter, 12 hours in summer. [2 tabs per 1/2

gallon.] When product begins to separate into curds and whey, the lactose is

used up. Oh, if you use too much starter, or let it go for too long; or use raw

or non-homoginized [sp] milk, it will ultimately get fizzy and ever so slightly

alcoholic, well, like kambucha I think...
