Candida Albicans.....Desperate to be rid of this and eat a tasty meal. ( Archived) (29)

Since being unlucky enough to be put on piles of anti-biotics years ago, i didn't get the advice that i should have taken probiotics to help populate my GI. Unfortunately if you don't Candida Albicans my overgrow and make you feel quite sick.

You have a lovely choice to get rid of this yeast, use medication or diet to starve it to death. Now mine was untreated for some time, doctors didn't have a clue and i eventually went toxic and became allergic one by one to all the food groups!

There's a brutal diet to clear it. No carbohydrate, no sugar, no starch. Nothing. I browsed Youtube, and because i had this quiety brewing away making me feel like death warmed up fora few years mine is well and truely hard to shift!

No fruit, sugar, bread, wheat or anything tasty for months, and by that i do mean nearly six months now. I've been on anti-fungal medication to try to kill it as well and i still have a white furry tongue.

When i go shopping i see others trolleys full of processed food, but being free of fruit, and everything tasty is really tough. On the plus side i've got a nice flat stomache and appear to be in much better shape than most men my age, but that is no consolation when you cannot have an orange, banana or potatoes in a meal.

If anyone has beat this gem that is haunting me, or food ideas i'm all open to ideas! I cannot wait to use my juicer again......

Hi Robbie, gave you tried a TCM ( Traditional Chinese Medicine) practitioner?

They look at problems differently, and more holistically. They may treat it with a mixture of Chinese herbs, and maybe acupuncture to open up blockages.

You could be back eating oranges before you know it.

I haven't tried that, but i have spoken to a herbalist/healer. As a result i had to stop juicing fruit, and i've introduced lots or garlic, lemon, ginger and oregano to my diet. Lots of anti-fungal stuff.

Try my normal drink, which isn't bad but it may frighten some.
Celery (4 stalks)
Cucumber
Lemon
Garlic
Ginger
Cayenne Pepper (1 Tablespoon in a pint of the above).

It cleans you out, and has high anti-fungal properties but it still isn't killing off my Candida. I'm desperate to have some roast potatoes.

Yep i cook with that, but mostly stick to raw uncooked food. Dreading the cold weather as that is when i'll want to comfort eat hot food.

I bought 2 chickens this week to make chicken & veg soup. But even adding paprika, cumin, corriander etc it doesn't taste as filling as it would with a couple of potatoes in it.

Roll in Xmas. If i could could knock myself out for 3 months and wake up and the candida was dead i would be a happy sausage.

I hate celery, but the rest would be tasty. I use garlic and ginger a lot anyway.

Try TCM if you want an alternative. I once had a stomach complaint that no regular medication could cure. I was prescribed chinese herbs. They were horrible, but knocked it on its head. Forever.

If you ever have stomache problems, i can suggest something that will even help clear up ulcerated colitus. It's called "Kefir".

You can get kefir grains to pop into water, and there is a variety that will turn milk into probiotics in 48 hours. I now grow both and give it to people i know that have anything like an upset stomache. Problems stop very fast, and cost is virtually nil.

Kefir? I will definitely look into that.
I have just been on antibiotics (which I hate doing) so have been taking probiotics, and yoghurt also. I need to keep the flora as intact as possible.
