    Since most have Candida the diet makes sense if one is interested. Coconut oil being anti bacterial, fungal and virus plus a good source of fat just works well with my way of eating. I am at the 5 tablespoon daily rate noted in this article. Those who are not interested can find other candida solutions. Rx meds side effects seem to be more enhanced with age in my case.

    I'm not saying that candida overgrowth doesn't occur. Quote the opposite. I know it happens and, when it does, most commonly presents orally or as a vaginal yeast infection. I know it can also result more rarely in the penis and, even rarer still, systemically. The BS part comes in thinking you can treat it with diet. You need anti-fungal medication.

    Googling "do I have candida" and clicking nonsense sites like the one you posted, Gale, is how people get sucked into confirmation bias.

    OP, I'm not a doctor, which makes me just as qualified to diagnose your candida overgrowth as you are. If you believe that you have a fungal infection, please seek proper medical treatment.

    Doctors are not the solution to everything. I'm hesitant to see a doctor because in the past everything they have given me has not worked. And no, they were not naturopaths.

    There is a big difference between Candida yeast and Candida fungus. They are related, but the yeast is what I know has taken over my body. Yeast thrives on sugar. Hence by eliminating sugar, it gives the Candida nothing to feed on. If you don't believe that, that's fine and if you think I'm crazy, that's fine too. That will not stop me from following this diet, as I have heard from more than enough people how much the Candida diet has helped them.
    I posted this in search of other people on the diet, not medical advice. Not sure why you're so adamant about me seeing a doctor.

    I can't agree more!
    Doctors are usually missing things with me. You keep doing it because the Candida diet is important to keeping your body free of harmful organisms,not just the candida albicans.

    I had it but when I used metagenics brand parex plus and bactrex for a 16 day cleanse it got rid of it plus everything else (sorry if tmi )

    If you do the diet that is great but if you do try doing a cleanse make sure to take a good probiotic afterwards to restore gut and help it heal.
    I havent craved sugar since killing them all. Nit sure if it was the candida but it certainly felt like it was causing major sugar craving. Easter has passed now and I only ate 2 small eggs maybe 40g max..now that has never been possible!

    Good luck hun! Don't worry about the people on here who may think your crazy or tell you to see a doctor as they are always doing that.

    Thanks for the advice! Would you mind if I added you? I would love to ask you a few questions about your experience on the diet since I am just starting out!

    *puts on Australian accent and hushed tone*

    Shhh. Look at this! Oh, this is amazing! Here we have the wild confirmation bias in its natural habitat, an internet forum. Watch how the OP carefully disregards all statements that don't support her existing ideas and immediately embraces those with which she agrees. Look at that amazing lack of rationality! That's a thing of beauty right there! Not even a hint of skepticism! Crikey!

    Unless you had blood drawn and have been diagnosed by lab results for it, there's no need for this diet unless you just want to be on it.
    There is so much BS on the internet that "create" problems so they can "solve" them for you by asking you to adhere to a program that's been designed by them.
    Of course it doesn't sound like the OP will listen, but hopefully others that see it will.

    How did you get tested for candida? I get these super itchy red bumps on my feet whenever I eat too much sugar, or if I have things like baked goods.
    I didn't get tested, but there is an at home thing you can do called the "spit test." Just google Candida spit test

    Yeah, it's nonsense.

    Only on the high protein/low carb version. If you're veggie you can substitute a crash test dummy.
