Am I able to eat foods such as bananas? I know they have sugar but they are natural sugars? Why do I read on some places there good and other places their bad?

I am in the same boat. I LOVE fruit, it was pretty much all I ate before all this. Now I don't know if I should eat it because of the sugar.

My Lyme doc told me to stay away from bananas because they ARE high in sugar. I still eat some though. He also said carrots have a lot of sugar in them. Who knew?

I also heard that green apples are lower in sugar than red apples. I never knew that so I may be stocking up on the green apples.

Lemons, lime, avocados, and one other I can't think of are ok. Maybe it was tomatoes, but most don't think of the last 2 as fruits. Not quite what you'd be craving as a fruit! You'd be best of not eating much fruit, especially if you have candida too. I have some once in a while.

carrots, hi in sugar :) LOL..per serving yes. You can eat about 8 or 10 baby carrots and still be a mile away from your 1 serving :)
What the heck are we supposed to eat. Lets just eat meat...I'm for that...but probably wouldn't live much longer.

The LLND I am consulting with said not to eat the sweeter fruits like bananas, mango, pineapple, but fruits such as berries were okay....raspberrries, blueberries, strawberries, green apples.

Watch grapefruit as it's not a good idea with many meds.

Bananas also increase inflammation - which is why I avoid them. It doesn't mean that I don't eat them at all though. I believe that some take diets too far. As Concepts said - what are we supposed to eat? Keep the sweeter fruits as a rare treat, eat the others, especially berries as they have a lot of health benefits too.
