sugar

Fruits are high in sugar....some higher than others - so if you have Candida it's not advisable to eat fruits.



I do eat some fruits...moderate amounts - I'm not treating Candida...I don't think I have it.
I think the benefits of eating some fruits outweighs the negatives - even if dealing with Lyme.

Bananas are one of the fruits with high amounts of sugar...I rarely eat them.

Avocados are good for you...and are lower in sugar.

Ugh Carla... I certainly sympathize with issues with food and eating- although it helps that I never have an appetite.

Like Girlie stated, fruits are not all equal - and avocados are magical. ;)

If you are battling yeast/fungal overgrowth (and the all-over tingly sensation is one of the symptoms but I think you've posted about other symptoms?) then you probably want to avoid all fruit ALL sugars until you get the y/f overgrowth under control. If you do it the right way, it should take only a few weeks to do this.

--btw, llet me know if you'd like info on getting the y/f overgrowth under control. Your "battle" w/ candida shouldn't be long-term. It's important to knock down the overgrowth ASAP and then implement an anti fungal protocol during your lyme & co treatment to keep it under control and then after your treatment you might need a preventative or maintenance anti fungal... but your treatment is going to be challenged if your immune system has to continually manage y/f overgrowth AND the lyme & co treatment. So again, it's important to get it under control and then continue w/ lyme & co treatment.

And also agree w/ Girlie in that the nutritional benefits fruit while we're treating lyme, which means you want to reintroduce fruits that contain a lot of fiber in them, once you're no longer battling y/f. Fruit juice is like eating a Snickers bar. 100% pure sugar and little fiber. Like Girlie said - bananas are out. apples are good, blueberries are good --fruits like this are not exactly low in sugar but they are high in fiber. Probably good sources of fibrous fruits on the internet if you want to do a google search.

Hope this is helpful!

Pineapples are only slightly sulfuric but the coconut milk is not good for your sulfur sensitivity.

As you heal you may heal your sulfur sensitivity.

So you probably should make your avocoloda without the pineapple - and put in a green apple. That is an okay fruit for candida diet. Here is the list of okay fruits with candida.
Avocados
Berries
Cranberries
Grapefruit
Green Apples
Lemons
Limes

C- maybe it's time for a liver cleanse?

Carla, this sulfur chart is a pretty good one because it shows the degrees of sulfur in each thing.

apjcn.nhri.org.tw/server/info/books-phds/books/foodfacts/html/data/data5g.html

Carla, also there are supplements that are high in sulfur -

ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid or Thioctic Acid).
bromelain and papain (use enzymes derived from animals)
chlorella,
cysteine
dairy source acidophilus,
DMSO,
extracts of the high sulphur foods,
glutathione,
NAC,
MSM,
Methionine (converts down into cysteine)
Turmeric is really good at raising thiol levels.

I certainly can see your diet problems when you exclude all of the sulfur and then exclude all the foods that will cause candida to grow you are limited.

You are going to have to be a super sleuth to figure out what to eat. Vegetables, healthy fats and those fruits I listed above.

I see on the sulfur chart you can have lemon meringue pie but then you can't have it on the candida.

You will need to cross reference everything.

I feel for you and this has to be difficult.

But, make it a game and you can do it!!
