    I peeked at your diary. I'm not help, but I got a lot of good ideas for myself.
    The magnesium, consider taking it at night. It makes me sleepy.

    I was diagnosed after months of suffering and invasive testing
    I'm 6 weeks in and feeling awesome! Just had first vodka in 6 weeks but other than that I'm sugar and carb free (for now) it's a long slow recovery but worth it

    I find that most people on the internet self-diagnose their candida. This is something that should be tested for on the referral from a doctor, IMO. Doesn't make sense to take on an extreme diet if you haven't been diagnosed with it.

    Have you been diagnosed with candida?

    I agree. You must be first diagnosed my a doctor who can test and understands what it is.

    What helped me was homemade kefir and kimchi. I also took high doses of zinc for 2 weeks and lots of vitamin c.

    I take candida support and caprylic acid and keep alcohol consumption down to avoid yeast infection. I am telling you that these work better than that crap from the doctor

    I was diagnosed with an overgrowth years ago but couldn't bring myself to make such a huge lifestyle switch. My symptoms have gotten worse so I've been transitioning for about 10 days now. I already see the difference in my skin and bloating is waaay down. It's encouraging me to go deeper.

    Use food grade diatomaceous earth? I've been using it for almost 2 months.

    There's a GB Shaw play about a woman named Candida called "Candida." Shaw was a vegetarian. So...

    Is HCLF naturally higher in sugar? I'm thinking lots of fruit, bread and stuff. Sugar is candida's best friend..

    Yes, also for other creepy crawlers like ants. Apparently there is a fine line between poison and healthy product to cleanse the body of all it's evils. I went looking for some food grade stuff, because I wanted to use it in the house (I have animals inside and didn't want them ingesting the other stuff). The lady at the "health" store asked if I was making something special with it. I was tempted to tell her my husband is being a *babysloth* (not actually married) and I'm making him a birthday cake, but it would have gone over her head. I explained about being used for pest control and she seemed shocked.

    I read this as Canada Diet. Maple syrup and back bacon?

    Don't forget the poutine and Kraft dinner with ketchup, lol.

    I was diagnosed with SIBO and candida. It's really really difficult to stay ahead of it if you fall off the wagon. The best thing I've ever been able to do is switch from empty carbs like bread and excessive sugar in coffee, over to fruit and honey. Starving the candida just makes the cravings so much worse. I'm pretty much modified paleo diet, if anyone has similar goals and wants to add me, feel free.

    Unless you have AIDS or are on chronic immunosuppressive drugs then you aren't going to have an overgrowth of candida. Healthy women get candidal vaginitis (yeast infection) because the pH of the vaginal canal alters the microbiota. Babies can also get oral/esophageal candiasis due to poor cell mediated immunity. This phenomenon doesn't occur in your intestines. There isn't any good support in the medical literature for "candida overgrowth." It's a fad that quacks use to scam people.

    This can occur in your intestines if you take too many antibiotics, have intestinal disorders, or consistently eat a crap diet full of sugar. Candida is more commonly found in different areas of the body, but doctors do have tests to determine if this is a problem. MDs are less apt to run these tests, but some will. Naturopaths or specialists have tests they can run to determine if you have a problem with candida overgrowth in your intestines.

    If you have intestinal issues shouldn't you be seeing a GI instead of a naturopath?

    Why don't conventional doctors diagnose candida?
