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 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 it0 -

I agree. You must be first diagnosed my a doctor who can test and understands what it is.0 -
What helped me was homemade kefir and kimchi. I also took high doses of zinc for 2 weeks and lots of vitamin c.0

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 doctor2

What kind of diet is she on?5 -
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.0

I've heard you can cure candida with veganism, hclf0

Use food grade diatomaceous earth? I've been using it for almost 2 months.0 -

There's a GB Shaw play about a woman named Candida called "Candida." Shaw was a vegetarian. So...0 -

If you have been diagnosed with a fungal infection by your doctor, you will be given anti-fungal medicines.
Yeah, I fell for the self-diagnosed systemic yeast infection crap back in the 80's. Tried OTC "yeast fighter" tablets, cut sugar and grains, etc., etc., etc. Very restrictive and didn't do a damn thing. The so-called symptoms of yeast overgrowth are common maladies that we all seem to have at some time in life. A true systemic fungal infection is life threatening and requires IV anti-fungals in the hospital under a doctor's supervision.8 -

Is HCLF naturally higher in sugar? I'm thinking lots of fruit, bread and stuff. Sugar is candida's best friend..0 -

This is flea killer.. called diatomaceous earth.. or something like that.. we used it last year to kill a flea infestation before hard woods were installed in our house.

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.1 -
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.7

Don't forget the poutine and Kraft dinner with ketchup, lol.3 -
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.0

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.0 -
If you have intestinal issues shouldn't you be seeing a GI instead of a naturopath?3
-
Why don't conventional doctors diagnose candida?

@Christine_72 because medical doctors can't, only naturopaths can. Follow the money.5
