Great and concise advice. A very similar protocol worked for me when the Candida seemed out of control, was so debilitating.
Thank you Carlo! Yes, Candidiasis is real bad news!
Excellent Info!
Thank you Paige!
Hello Darryl, I am starting a candida, alkaline diet today, consisting mostly of juicing, I know my hormones are messed up, extremely overweight, inflammation in the body particularly the joints and poor energy levels and sleep. I am excited for the future and desire to reverse the aging process with in me that I agreed to in the past. Wish me success and I will follow your advice and others in this quest. Love and Light, Skye
Hello Skye! Glad to hear that you are going on the Candida Diet to clear out your system. Wishing you all the success! Light & Love, Darryl
Dear Darryl, Great Job!!! Is it good to have quinoa and brown rice poha while you have leaky gut due to candida. What’s your advice?
Dear Sumi, You can have the Quinoa, and the brown rice… sparingly.
Hey Darryl, I am feeling really good after reading your wonderful blog :). For years, I was plagued by chronic yeast infections, including but not limited to: rashes, weight gain, insomnia, acne, constipation, chronic fatigue, depression, sensitivity to chemicals, you name it. But now, i have a question to you that in my country i couldn’t find Nystatin powder, its in suspension form. Should it be oky if i take it ?
Thank you Shabnam. Yes, suspended form is also fine.
Dear Darryl, Can I have coconut water while I am having the candida diet.
Yes, very tender cocnut water is fine, just thrice a week.
Cannot eat – All fruit, fruit juices, however earlier in the article you recommend Oranges and Lemons. Also, Cannot eat – coconut, but later you suggest coconut oil.
Hi Loca, I have updated the Candidiasis page recently, please read it again. No sweet fruits. Only some fruits that are not sweet, or unripe fruit like a helf ripe papaya – Eat only one small portion a day. Fresh Coconut has sugar. Coconut Oil has none.
Am grateful of your information. I have suffered for mouth thrush for so long, but i think your meals guidance will help me fight the disease.
Ereng, before going to bed every night, brush your teeth with a paste of pure turmeric & virgin coconut oil. Rinse lightly spitting most out, but leave traces of it still your mouth, since both are antibacterial & antifungals and will do their work on the thrush as you sleep.
Dear Darryl, Thank you for sharing such useful information. God bless you. Can you please share your thoughts on red rice? Can that be used like brown rice or should it be avoided like white rice? Kind regards, Raghu
Can we also add popped lotus seeds to this menu?
Hi Darryl, Thanks for sharing! I’m still confused about the candida meal and supplements. Would it be possible to give more details? Any recommendation for the vitamin E intake? I suffer from severe candida for many years and now hair loss etc. Please help with more details especially on the supplement. Namaste
I am in despair! My anxiety with this diet is so painful! I have a tiny refrigerator and cannot depend on it. Little money and being confused from all that, I can not have food. I have reactions from water, my lips start to peel. I found 1 type of water that is costly.
What is good for breakfast with my constipation? I can not eat chicken, fish, meat it constipates me. Any specific veggies that work best? What form of protein can I have?
Hi I’m vegan and have leaky gut type reaction as and when I eat candida friendly food, I also get pain all over my body and swelling too. I am intolerant to almost all food, when I fast I feel good, but how long can I fast for, I need to have food, so I have to fix my gut issues. What is your advice on my diet, which grain should I eat? In your diet plan coconut is not included, does that mean we cannot have coconut water, meat or milk and can only have coconut oil?
Hello Darryl, I just wanted to ask you if are millets safe for consumption while going gluten free? I heard somewhere that even millets contain certain varieties of gluten?
