Please adhere to the diet as closely as possible. Candida fungus grows on sugar, starch and high carbohydrate foods. It is also fed by gluten-containing grains. Gluten-containing grains include wheat, oats, rye, and barley. Candida is also fed by the other yeast molds that are contained in many foods. Please read labels and check for ingredients that are on the avoid list.
If you have to cheat, do so sparingly. Your cravings will slowly dissipate once that Candida is leaving the body. Slowly introduce foods back into your diet after a month that are on the “Foods to Avoids” list. You will be able to tell which foods you will be able to tolerate. You will notice which foods will agree with your system.

Remember to stay away from these foods for at least the first month or so. Then we will do a reevaluation at about 5 weeks and see which foods can be reintroduced. Once you can slowly introduce each food back into your diet you’ll watch for a reaction. You should be able to tell what your body will accept at this time. If you do get a reaction, we wait another month and retest. Many people will be able to eat most foods again; however, there are some that may just need to be eliminated completely.
