When it comes to dieting all I can think of is eating tons of salads, quiona, nuts, soups and avacados.

I know a variety of sources say eating protein from meat can increase risk of some diseases so that's why I bring up nuts and avacados too.

Are there any foods I'm missing? Do you think a more bland diet like this is key?

Thanks!

I followed this candida diet when I was struggling with candida: /www.thecandidadiet.com/

I really liked it because they list foods to include and foods to avoid. Helpful when trying to make those changes so I could at least avoid the worst offenders as I learned to eat that way for a while.

Thanks. I will keep an eye on the foods listed there.

Daisies, I agree. Lots of conflicting candida diets. Fermentation creates sugar. Now there is discussion on what type of sugar that is.

My kombucha that I drink daily has 2 grams. The sugar is for the culture to consume, not for me to consume. It is what makes it kombucha. And the probiotics are well worth those 2 grams.

But think about carrot juice..... 13 grams of sugar per an 8 ounce glass. And what about orange juice?? That one has a whopping 24 grams of sugar per 8 ounce glass.

I still go with trial and error and good old common sense. I also like having a doctor supervise a candida patient. Or in my case, my suspected candida, my acupuncturist. I did the candida diet recommended by him for 1 month..... Agony trying to find things without sugar for 30 days. Thank goodness I did not have it because at the end of 30 days, I was so hungry for food.

Condiments all have sugar I discovered.

There are differing opinions on anti-yeast diets. I have seen conflicting information on it. I recall certain nuts being on the no/restricted list.

Also, there is conflicting information on whether to use ACV and fermented foods. Personally, I've read far too many personal stories of people reacting to these if they have a yeast issue. I know I couldn't tolerate ACV personally.

I did a very restrictive anti-yeast diet last year. I call it the starvation diet. I absolutely did not like it, and I did not feel well on it at all. I'm doing a variation of it this year - not as restrictive. I do have serious issues with this diet, as I feel it can cause nutritional deficiencies in people and is very difficult to maintain. I personally believe there needs to be a better way!

If you're worried about nutritional deficiencies, try the Wahl's Paleo.

It's by far the most nutrionally-packed diet I've been able to find, and it cuts out stuff you don't need like processed foods, sugar, gluten, dairy, etc.

Here's someones blog post on it:
