My friend is assuming that there is no one right candida diet for everyone.
She sees some people have eliminated all carbs or grains, but she doesn't want to take such a drastic measure as she is already 15-20lbs underweight.
She wonders if other people are okay with a low carb-low grain diet.
She also asked if using diflucan is effective, and if there are side effects with it.
Lastly, she asked if colon cleansing help a lot.
She has a supplement with psyllium and bentonite and some other good stuff; she hates taking fiber supplements, but if it helps with candida, she will be more motivated to take it.
Personally, I can appreciate the fear of losing weight as that is one of my concerns, too.
I seem to be one of those people who need to be on a no-grain diet, so I eat meat and vegetables.
I use a lot of oils like butter and olive oil.
Some people find that they need only to be off of grains for two weeks.
You might want to try that, and then slowly reintroduce grains, not in large quantities and not everyday, gradually increasing.
As for the diflucan, recently I have written an article regarding its side effects due to my experience.
But, what I need to say is that you need to try it yourself and see if you have some problems with it.
I have seen many people are doing okay with no serious problems taking diflucan.
Of course, it is proved to be worked for combating the yeast.
Colon cleansing is another recommended stuff I would suggest.
Look up through the archives and see if you find something.
