Focus on whole, unprocessed foods: Candida-friendly recipes should emphasize whole, unprocessed foods, such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and lean proteins.
Avoid refined sugars and carbs: Candida thrives on refined sugars and carbs, so it is important to avoid these in your recipes. This includes white flour, white rice, and processed sweets.
Choose healthy fats: Healthy fats, such as olive oil, avocado, and nuts, can be incorporated into candida-friendly recipes to support overall health and provide energy.
Incorporate fermented foods: Fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, can help support the gut microbiome and may be included in candida-friendly recipes.
Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Alcohol and caffeine can disrupt the gut microbiome and should be avoided in candida-friendly recipes.
Consider food sensitivities: If you have food sensitivities or allergies, it is important to choose recipes that do not contain these ingredients.
Use natural sweeteners sparingly: Natural sweeteners, such as honey and maple syrup, can be used sparingly in candida-friendly recipes, but it is important to use them in moderation.
Plan ahead: Planning your meals and snacks in advance can help you stay on track with your candida-friendly diet and make it easier to stick to the plan.
Modify recipes as needed: If you come across a recipe that looks appealing but contains ingredients that are not candida-friendly, consider modifying the recipe to make it suitable for your needs.
Get creative: Don’t be afraid to try new ingredients and experiment with different flavors to keep your candida-friendly diet interesting and enjoyable.
I tried your protocol and cut out virtually everything recommended but my labs show that Candida albicans IGM went from 1.8 to 1.6.
Is this considered very severe and should I start ok anti fungals? I’m desperate to get well. Please help.
