Becky Sue, I'm sorry if this information has already been posted, I didn't find it readily any recent posts... What is KISS, Keep it simple silly?

I need to do something, I did spit test positive, and I have actually gaind 4 pounds since boot camp, I am very frustrated and I want to try the diet or the suppliments to help get rid of this!

da Walnut, tell me what you bought and how much to take!

Thanks ladies, :hug

I take Oil of Oregano capsules (2 a day) with a meal. I also take 3 Yeast-Cleanse tiwce a day with meals. Then I take Kyloic Garlic Immune Formula, two pills twice a day with meals. I take 2 Candidase 1/2 hour before eating, twice a day as well. Then at night I take 2 probiotic capsules.

In KISS, you eat no dairy, nothing processed, nothing with vinegar, nothing sweetened, and you only use fresh herbs, since dried herbs can contain mold, also no mushrooms. Its hard to do, but its slowly getting easier.

KISS is maintained by eating whole foods. Anything that is altered should be avoided. This excludes all dairy, fermented foods, as well as condiments and processed foods.

I usually ate foods containing one ingredient (can't get any more "whole foody" than that! lol). I found, that for myself, this was the most effective and safest way to go.

BTW, this is the difficult part to get around when doing CAD.... It is suggested that you not eat leftovers, since they are still prone to mold even when refridgerated. Luckily, I never had a problem with this, but those who have to bring their food to work have a hard time getting around this one.

As for supplements, I only took lactilobacillus acidophilus along with fresh garlic in almost all foods (I also used parsley oil to "deodorize" the garlic so my breath would not smell!) as well as EVCO to cook and season with. This was enough to help me get rid of my yeast problem.

HTH and good luck with CAD!

Thanks ladies!

I had a bad cheat the last couple of days, as posted on the CC board, DH lost job... Emotional. Anyway. I PRAY that I get back on track today. I am so frustrated that I try so hard and the scale doesn't move.

Becky Sue, you look so fantastic! I loved those sites! Your story of stalls sounds like me. I don't have insurance to go to the doctor or get meds, I can possibly get some Nystatin in Mexico (I live in South Texas) but I would have to look up the dosage, plus, I'd like to have a blood test before I would medicate myself for a month... I don't know.

Do you think that if I tried KISS and the over the counter suppliments, that would take care of my misery? I think I'll try it anyway, I don't think I can feel much worse than I do already. I took out caffene and artificial sweeteners already (since boot camp in Nov), I'd really just have to give up bacon, sausage and cheese. I really don't eat any other "processed" foods.

Becky Sue, another question... How many carbs did/do you eat? Not that I'm that worried about that now, considering my big flub up the last couple of days. I do like veggies. <sigh>

Thanks again for being so helpful! :hug

Yes, do start KISS. It can help you and it may be all you need, without the prescription of nystatin

nystatin removes the candida from your gut. My Dr. told me this. This is good. Just what I needed.
