So far I have found several pages that go both ways. Some say no alcohol what so ever. Others say that you can have up to 2oz weekly but only of a clear alcohol such as high quality vodka or gin.

It could be one of those "your mileage may vary" issues. Almost all of the diets recomend to cut out sugar no matter what. Where the diets differ is in what is allowed depending on the severity of your candida overgrowth and what your particular food sensitivities are.

Basically some people can have vodka and be fine, while other's will notice symptoms the next day. Some people can eat a small amount of fruit, or small amounts of dairy like cottage cheese with no problems. It all depends on the person and the individual needs.

and just for a kick, I also found this one

VODKA
GOOD FOR: A sensitive gut and avoiding a hangover
Because vodka is so highly distilled, it means it may be deemed suitable (in small amounts) for people on sugar-free, yeast-free diets designed to tackle conditions such as thrush, candida and irritable bowel syndrome.

One scientific analysis found that vodka had only one six thousandth of the content of the toxic alcohol methanol as bourbon. This, combined with the fact vodka has virtually no colouring or flavouring chemicals, means that it is unlikely to give you a bad hangover.
