I'm glad it's working for you schelle. I am starting to feel better. L-carnitine is REALLY helping. I think I was metabolically resistant and not getting into ketosis much, or getting kicked out easily. I don't plan on being so restrictive long term, but I became sensitive to too many vegetables and that's why I cut out everything except meat and fish for a while. I am starting to slowly add veggies back in. I have used some green barley grass powder as a substitute on and off though. I recommend that everybody with candida rotate foods. It's really really really helping me.
