Please read reguaring Candida acceptable foods list!

[jsj0305]

I wanted to add to the sticky but it was closed...

This list of foods acceptable on this website: http://www.angelfire.com/rnb/irock/kiss_rules.html contains mushrooms and vinegar which are not allowed according to Dr Atkins (pg 334 DANDR).

I have found another website all about Candida that I think many will find helpful...( and even boasts Atkins They have a list on the left hand side..foods to avoid, foods to eat, probiotics and anti fungals to kill off the yeasties and repopulate...tons of great info. Their only strike is that they said we are high protein. LOL

What is Candida Albicans? | The Candida Diet

* As always, when trying to kill off Candida, remember what Rung you are on and do NOT consume foods you shouldn't have yet!*

Good luck in your journey to killing the yeasties!!!

Thanks for posting these cool links Jsj!
The second link seems to have lots of good info, but confess that although I mod this forum, in reality I know nothing much about candida. Unfortunately the first link wouldn't open for me.
How about we wait to see if others can access the first link... and maybe get a little feedback from other candida experts. I know Tom is trying to keep the number of stickies down a bit, but if the general consensus is in favour of stickying something, I can do this no prob.

Thanks again!

Re: Please read reguaring Candida acceptable foods list!

You're most certainly welcome! The first link is the one that contains the acceptable foods list that I think is incorrect. I got it from a sticky.

The second one is the one I wanted to recommend.

I dealt with Candida years ago and since restarting Atkins two weeks ago, I'm back in the same boat and ready for Round 2

Re: Please read reguaring Candida acceptable foods list!

I just wanted to add that there is not just ONE candida diet out there. There are many, varying in stringency and allowed foods. There's the KISS diet. There's the Gold Standard diet. There's the GF/CF option. Even Dr. Crook, who is considered the pioneer of fighting candida overgrowth, has several plans in his book, some which allow fruits and legumes, others which allow only vegetables, proteins and fats.

I've seen advice to always start with the strictest plan and work your way up, yet I've also seen advice to start slowly, eliminating the most problematic foods first. When I've done anti-candida diets in the past, I've done the meat/veggies/fats and then added butter and mayo. It's a "your mileage may vary" thing, but each person is different.
