new to group, but not to candida..need more understanding ...

[Guest guest]

need more understanding of the illness itself. i was told over 5 years

ago to go " low carb " for 6 months (i did 7), then stayed on the diet

for the better part of 5 whole years. I then experimented with some

fruit, some grains other than the 4 I was told were safe for me

(quinoa, amaranth, millet and buckwheat).. I relapsed and am now back

on the hard-core candida diet. am cultering as always my milk with

primal defense (oh, yeah) and cultering veges too. (i eat my veges

raw.) what i do not understand is how after 5 years, that the *( & ^*^ &

stuff is not dead as I thought it would be!! It seems it was simply

dormant; and now that it had gone systemic, the news seems to be that

I must stay on the diet. so, can anyone confirm my " lay " knowledge

please and thanks; and if there is a way to rid the body of candida

now that it has obviously gone fungal, I would love to know it! yes I

know olive leaf, garlic and I think grapefruit seed extract are also

supposed to help. and hey, i don't do fruit anymore, or even high carb

veges like pumpkin.. so, comments? thanks *ever* so much!!! glad you

are out there, too!!!!!
