I wanted to thank you for this post it has helped, I found that this ‘diet’ as we call it is what we are suppose to be eating on a daily basis and the ‘bad foods’ are suppose to be treats, that is how i think about it. Its hard to put into word. Without having a healthy life, the ‘diet’ will not work all the way we would like it too, drinking alcohol, going to sleep late, no exercise on a daily basis, in other words it will not be easy. You have to make an effort to get where you would like to get.

Lucy, you can go about it in a similar way with diet, keeping sugar especially restricted as much as possible. It’s common in children who have taken antibiotics to get an imbalance of gut bacteria, so probiotics and Greek yogurt will help. I’m not sure about H202, I’ve never used it. It is difficult with supplements too because some of the things like pau darco that are excellent for candida are not recommended for children.

Hi Jedha,
Thanks for the posts! There are really helpful.
Do you have any suggestions how to treat 9 years old kid? She has an oral thrush and she is overweight eating healthy food in reasonable quantities. She used to be treated with antibiotics 4 to 7 times per year due to recurring year infection.
Do you think H2O2 is good for her and in what quantities?
Thanks!

Hi Glo, sometimes 3 months is not enough to overcome candida, especially if you’ve had it a while. So if you haven’t killed it all off it will soon come back if your diet changes. It could also be a gluten or dairy intolerance, try cutting one of them out completely to see first, then if that doesn’t work, go back on the candida diet again.

A good supplement you can take to help keep candida at bay is pau darco, you can also drink it as a tea.

About a year ago, I discovered I have issues with candida/yeast overgrowth. I followed the candida diet/cleanse and used supplements for 3 months. I felt much better! Then went back to eating”semi-normal” again (only limited amounts of gluten and dairy) and now I feel like my gut is out of balance again. (OR is it inflammation causing me issues?) How does one know and how do we maintain the balance after we do a cleanse? I appreciate your help!

Oops, I meant I don’t think a low carb diet is HEALTHY, I general.

I’m not sure if I’m in agreement with “most people” and I don’t think, in general, a low carb diet is not healthy. I worked as a trainer and certified nutritionist for 20 years. That is how fad diets begin actually and is the reason that I never looked further into this issue. I did hear, although not officially and did not do my research, that a no gluten diet was helpful for psoriosis. I toyed with trying it, but honestly, didn’t want to give up bread. It’s so easy and convenient….so is pasta. It wasn’t until recently, when I became aware of my issue with Candida (another thing that has been exploited by the media and opportunists), that I realized I had a greater issue.

All that said, those who have many autoimmune diseases on top of vitamin deficiencies (like animia) should be tested for Celiac or Gluten sensitivity. I have many. But again, they hype deters many professionals. The media really does a disservice to the public by sensationalizing everything they possibly can, especially when it comes to food.

When I read about the correlation between Celiac Disease and thyroid cancer my eyes really opened.

Thank you so much for your information. Do you have any suggestions for when I have to eat gluten again for testing? I got really sick when I stopped sugar and gluten. I was in bed for three days, I had pretty severe muscle aches, headache, and a stomach ache. I felt as sick as I did when I had the Shingles (sans the rash). I really don’t want a repeat of this. I won’t eat sugar. I hope I don’t go back to square one.

I feel a bit foolish for eating the way I was. I was in grad school and a new teacher and just fell into eating what was convenient. I knew better. It was just so easy to throw a couple pieces of bread in the toaster and put peanut butter on it. Sigh…
