I just read an article last night in an old Woman's World magazine. February 3, 2004, that talked about candida. It talked about how lc can really help eleviate the symptoms and how yeasty foods make it worse and also add on the pounds. It said the foods to avoid are breads, beer, mold containing foods like blue cheese, wine, fermented foods like vinegar and soy souce, high sugar foods and refined carbs. It went on to say that when you eleminate these foods, it gives candida (which is an over grown yeast in your intestines) a chance to die down. It said when you start to feel better (usually 4 weeks or so) you could gradually add these things back into your diet one at a time. If one makes your symptoms return, then you know not to eat that one. (a food allergy)

It said that sometime Nystatin or Nizoral is perscribed. But it talked more about how food effects it. And how some medicines make it worse.

It did have a little quiz, too. Maybe you can find this issue at your local library.

Best of luck!
