Yes, tomatoes are on the Candida Diet List - if you haven't found it go to our Group's Files (left menu) and find the Folder " Candida Diet, Shopping Lists and All About Foods. " > also,are chestnuts allowed? ==>No, they are a nut and they are high in certain kinds of molds. > i have just started the diet,and am just trying to figure out what kind of things i can have for snacks.is turnip allowed ,or should it be limited along with parsnips and carrots and potatoes? ==>When you find that list you will have your answer.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sorry, I forgot about the sun-dried tomatoes. If you sun-dry them yourself they are okay, but most commercial ones contain too much mold or they are packed in " bad " oils. Here's a great recipe: Herbed Oven-Dried Tomatoes Ingredients 2 pounds (1 kg) ripe Roma (plum) tomatoes, halved 4 tablespoons sea salt Freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon dried marjoram 1 tablespoon dried basil Bay leaves Black peppercorns 2 cloves garlic, cut into slivers Extra virgin olive oil Instructions Scoop out the tomato seeds with your fingers, and discard, leaving the fibrous tissue intact. Place the halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with the salt, pepper, marjoram, and basil. Place the tray in a preheated oven at 210 degrees F. (100 degrees C.) for 12 hours. If the tomatoes are drying out too quickly, leave the oven door slightly ajar. When the tomatoes are dry and have cooled, pack them into a sterlized jar. Add a bay leaf, a few peppersorns, and some garlic slivers, cover with olive oil, and seal. Store in refrigerator up to three months. Yield: one 4-cup jar Author's note: Make sure the oven is not too warm or the tomatoes will cook rather than dry. > > are tomatoes allowed on the diet?if yes,are sundried tomatoes ok or not?

Yes, roasting would kill molds, but I don't recommend having any roasted or toasted nuts, since they use " bad oils and fats " to do it. Also all grains, nuts, and seeds must be properly prepared to remove a substance that blocks mineral absorption in the body, and enzymes that interfere with protein digestion, according to this article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods18.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No oil is used at all. Saw them in the fuit and vege shop and thought they might be ok. Nevermind. One day. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
