Articles on the Internet that recommend very strict diets

I see articles on the Internet that recommend very strict diets to eliminate foods that feed candida. I feel pretty good while I’m starving the candida, but I’m not able to eat hardly anything. When I go back to eating ‘normal’ foods again to regain my energy and weight, all of my candida symptoms come back the next day. Is there a way to keep the candida in control and yet eat enough healthy foods to maintain some physical strength and well-being?

Answer: You’re correct – some of those candida diets not only starve the candida, but also starve you. My research reveals that many of those diets are usually not effective in lowering candida levels in your body. If there is an overgrowth of candida in your body, some foods may need to minimized or eliminated until you get the candida under control.

Here’s what happens when you change your diet, thinking that diet alone will reduce the level of candida to a level where you feel healthy again: When you stop eating the foods that feed candida, the candida goes into an armored spore form, which means the candida will protect itself by transforming itself into a dormant form. If you are not doing anything to remove the candida from your body, it just lies in the dormant form until you once again begin to eat the foods that candida feeds on. When you reintroduce those foods, the candida will reactivate with great intensity, and a rapid increase of candida waste products (acetylaldahyde and methane gas) will very quickly bring back the effects of a candida overgrowth in your body.

Balanced diets are helpful – radical diets are not. You must also do something to remove the excess candida from your body in order to experience the healthy body you are trying to achieve.
