Reply To: How is a Candida Diet Decided?
Hi, Able900
Please can you send me a copy of the strict diet. It’s just that I want to ensure that what I am eating is correct. I’ve been doing the diet for 3 months now but still suffering, I have since looked on the forum to see where I am going wrong and have found lots of things I need to correct. Since everyone mentions the strict diet I want to know what it is.
Not sure how long I have had it for could be 3 to 8 years or more.
Symptoms allergies hypersensitivities to everything and to any thing that smells especially perfumes and chemicals, asthma, sinusitis, post nasal drip, allergic rhinitis, hay fever, constipation, bloating, vaginal thrush, feeling full all the time weight loss,, insomnia, stress, anxiety. Unfortunately I take steroid inhaler and nasal spray. Also due to sinus infections have had too many antibiotics and poor diet and too much sugar. Iam also taking antihistamines and singulaire for asthma.
I am taking lots of vitamins, psyllium husk and for the candida, candida support, oregano oil, Caprylic acid, garlic tablets, and at time grapefruit seed extract. Also taking the healthy origins probiotics suggested on the website and homemade kefir.
I have a few questions:
I never did the detox cleanse when I started, do I have to do this? It’s just that I have lost tones weight over the last 3 months and I can’t loose anymore. I was already underweight to begin with. Any tips to gain weight quickly that I can have at stage 1?
