Finally after years of putting this off, today I am starting The Anti-Candida Diet. I am posting this because I feel I HAVE to do it and stick to it if I tell everyone!![]()
I first was diagnosed with Cronic Fatigue Syndrom 10 years ago although I feel like I had some symptons long before that in all honestly. Over the last few years I have found ways to manage it reasonable well, but I really want to be rid of it for good as I still have shitty feeling days and times and I really cant stand not feeling great all the time!!!!! I am really over the brain fog more than anything too!!!!!
It's not going to be easy. I have to cut out all food and drink which contains yeast or sugar and / or traces of. The idea behind this is to starve candida out of existance. It's almost impossible to be rid of it otherwise... The foods I can eat have to be fresh and scrubbed clean since many fruits and vegetables have traces of yeast on their skins. I will also go through an awful withdrawal as the candida dies off. Hopefully the withdrawal will only last 4-5 days... I can't eat anything processed, actually it's easier to name what I can eat - not much, brown rice, wholemeal pasta, fresh vegetables, some fruits but only fresh and scrubbed clean, fish and some fresh meats, plain yogart, cottage cheese, hmm that's the basicsFor 4 months!!!
Incidently I tried the diet once before when I was 18 - long before I was ever sick. I just had had recurrent Thrush for about 3 years and tried the diet to get rid of it once and for all with amazing results (Ie, it worked, no more Thrush at least - plus I felt absolutly wonderful after the first week!) Unfortunatly I messed up after a few weeks of the diet. I never went back to it due to the diet interfearing with my wonderfully full on social life... for the next 18 years, lol (geezzz!). It still will, but now I realise that 4 months of cleansing and dieting is just a piss in the ocean as far as time is concerned...
I had testing done a couple of years ago and was told basically that I'm in perfect health EXCEPT for Candida. Candida is stopping all my bodies major organs from working properly, so I really have to do this! The Doctors also told me that I had the beginnings of Leaky Gut Syndrome because of it too - ugh, ick!
So wish me luck! And everyone hope for me that come tomorrow I shall be feeling absolutly bloody awful, because that way I will know the diet is working!!! I am expecting and hoping in a really odd sort of way to feel so bad I wont be able to get out of bed until at least Monday so if anyone asks me anything I doubt I can answer until then. Lol, I hope my post makes sense and isn't just a long ramble, lol. Tally ho!![]()


For 4 months!!!
