Candida outbreak...finding out you have one!

Very interesting!

I actually just got back from the doctor today, and found out that I'm not allergic to anything other than cats and dogs! I was hoping to find out that there were some other things I was allergic to, but no! Back to the drawing board for me.

I'm sure it will be difficult to adjust to a new way of thinking about foods and meals, preparing foods, and eating.

One good food I can recommend to go along with your beans is SHORT GRAIN brown rice. The long grain stuff is kind of gross, if you ask me, but short grain has a much nicer taste and texture.

I don't know what else to recommend, but I wish you well!

Wishing you all the Best! You know you will always have my support.
Also maybe check out Vega line of products. They are Vegan and I am not sure if they are ok for you but worth a look. I love the VEGA ONE. it is a full meal replacement and tastes pretty good (Berry flavour).
Good luck!

lol... one day you'll understand!

Already do. My mother went through about ten years with one. Every few months, it was a new food item ("greens") or pill or allregy to this or that or whatnot, and it seemed to change constantly. She went from high-carb to low-carb to no-carb to vegan to vegetarian to carnivore to drinking only green fluid to avoiding peanuts to avoiding wheat to eating only whole grains (including wheat). And that was in the first year.

Turns out that the only green she was apparently allergic to was money, and her naturopath was helping with that a LOT. To the tune of a few grand a year.

She finally gave it all up, went back to the same balanced diet she was healthy on for decades before she found out she was allergic to most of it, and is feeling a whole lot more energetic.

Many practitioners of alternative medicine use the term Candida to refer to a complex with broad spectrum of symptoms, the majority of which center around gastrointestinal distress, rashes, sore gums and other miscellaneous symptoms. Candida is accorded responsibility for symptoms as specific as hay fever, as vague as "brain fog" and as common as weight gain or flatulence. These symptoms are attributed by some alternative medicine practitioners to the "overgrowth" of intestinal Candida albicans, which they claim leads to the spread of the yeast to other parts of the body via the digestive tract and bloodstream.[19]
Use of the term Candida in alternative medicine to describe this complex is unassociated with its use in clinical medicine to refer to the fungus that causes vaginal yeast infections and thrush.[11][12] This can be confusing for patients. No studies have proven that having intestinal candidiasis causes any symptoms of illness.[11][12]
To treat what they refer to as Candida, some alternative medicine practitioners have recommended avoiding antibiotics, birth control pills, and foods that are high in sugar or yeast, ostensibly to "eliminate excess yeast" in the body. However, there is little clinically valid evidence that these "Candida cleanse" treatments treat intestinal candidiasis effectively, or cure any of the symptoms claimed by the proponents of the hypothesis.[11][12]
The probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii has been shown to diminish levels of intestinal Candida in mice.[20] This is therefore one of the specific probiotic strains often recommended by alternative medicine practitioners alongside a more general probiotic, for anyone on a "Candida cleanse" or "Candida diet".

rainbow light has a supplement called 'candida cleanse'. i think it's helpful. i buy it from the vitamin shoppe. i do think yeast in the body can take awhile to clear and is tricky. you have to stick with it! good luck.

Yeah.

I can't stress this enough.....

TAKE ANTIBIOTICS!!!!!!!! don't starve yourself.

Candida (the fungus) would not respond to antibiotics. It's a fungus, not a bacteria. In fact, antibiotics make it flourish and the increase in candida can lead to yeast infections and candidemia.

Candida (the condition) is supposedly caused by candida (the fungus) getting into other areas of the body and causing any number of other issues, ranging from sore gums to flatulence. However, candida (the condition) is only recognized by certain alternative medicine practitioners. Take that for what you will - a massive cover-up of the huge amounts of scientific evidence of the existence of candida (the condition) combined with an incredible talent of a series of independent practitioners to accurately diagnose it based solely on a wide range of unrelated symptoms, or the simpler explanation which involves the kind of sound ducks make.

I think you need a second opinion. This whole thing sounds ridiculous.

Also, antibiotics will cause an increase in candida population, that's why women typically get yeast infections (i.e. candida vaginitis) while taking them.

i read it as canada...i was hoping i had a surprise canadian i didnt know about. this is disappointing.

oh, but good luck with the new diet restrictions!
