Again, it varies by person. But you should not have any problem knowing if your system tolerates a particular food. Question: Have you been on a strict anti-candida diet for any length of time? It is best to be very strict until your symptoms of candida are alleviated before you begin experimenting with adding in new or debated foods. Dr. Crook's diet is, in my opinion, the gold standard of anti-candida diets. While ridding myself of candidasis, his book, The Yeast Connection, was as important to me as my Bible, New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. After ridding myself of the candidasis, I went back to normal American eating. Big mistake! I should really go back to YC eating, but like any other diet, it is always so hard to go back on! browngirl
