    Is it ok to eat...

    Is it really okay to eat mozzarella cheese and is it really okay use unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar if you have candida? For me, cheese and vinegar are the staples of life, but I thought I should double-check on whether or not they are permitted, especially for someone who has a bad case of candida.

    For the record, I don't want to imply that my post is so cool by giving it 5 stars! I just seem to be having a problem with my mouse clicker tonight. The fives stars were accidental. I am actually a much more humble person than that.

      I can't really speak on the apple cider, but as far as mozerella goes the answer is an unequivical yes. Dr. Atkins specifically mentions mozerella in the acceptable cheese for induction list. Just be sure to limit your intake to 3 to 4 oz daily and, of course, count the carbs!

        another question about mozarella - presume you are talking about the cheese that goes on pizza and goes all stringy when cooked - well can we also have Buffalo mozzarella? - the stuff you would prob have on a tomato and basil sald

            Sorry to but in to this forum.... but to answer UK Girl... if you can have normal mozzarella then you can have bufalo mozzarella too. The process is the same. No comparison tastewise though. UK Girl... if you're a bufalo mozzarella fan, then hop on a plane sometime and come sample some here in Italy... it's a taste sensation!

                  Wait a minute....why is it okay to eat mozzerella if you have candida? We KNOW it's ok for plain Atkins..... For candida, most advice is to stay away from ALL cheese! No dairy and no mold containing foods. The unfiltered organic apple cider vinegar is okay because it is actually on the list of cleansing foods for candida.

                    I think they were answering the first part of the question as if there were two parts and two different questions...and not saying that it's okay to eat cheeses for candida.


                    Glad to know about the apple cider vinegar

                      Yikes, I guess I'm guilty of not reading the whole original question. Not sure how I missed that candida part. I apologize, I know nothing about candida and truly hope that my saying that mozeralla gets an "unequivical yes" did not cause any problems.

                        hey there!

                        I understand your frustration, there's so much information out there and it can be quite confusing.

                        As this is an ATKINS diet bulletin board - i would suggest you follow his advice (which is a yes for KISS a no for GOLD standard (?)). If you wanted to get a wider viewpoint you could do a bit of research.

                        Or i could save you the trouble. I've done the research and 90% of the sources say fresh cheese is okay to eat. especially cream cheese and cottage cheese.

                        However, some people require a stricter elimination than others, due to a more systematic overgrowth of yeast. hence the kiss/gold standard differences.

                        Essentially, you need to analyse how bad your symptoms are and if you can make a diet around the suggested plan. ultimately you should be getting important things into your daily diet such as aloe vera juice, coconut oil, oil of oregano etc and your probiotics and i'm sure an occassional serving of fresh cheese will be okay if you are healing yourself with those things.

                        if not, you know what to do! just cut it out till you are better.

                        hope this helps.

                          In the Yeast problems/ candida section of teh DANDR the Good doc says that cream cheese and MOzzarella are ok to use if you have candida. The other aged cheeses are a "no go" as they tend to be mold forming and this is the reason they are not good as they tend to "feed" a yeast overgrowth
