And another question...

[charlz_lynn]

Grover and I are planning on starting the candida diet as soon as we get into the new apartment. We'll, i'm sure, pick up a cookbook or two, but if any of you have the time or interest, would you share your favorite recipes? I'd sure love and appreciate it. We're gonna try and make a serious menu and stick to it... plan very carefully, and whatnot, as this is going to be quite difficult for the both of us.

My basic Candida Diet recipe is to make a stirfry with lots of garlic and ginger, a bit of Braggs and/or (sugarless) chili sauce... and eat it with no rice and no noodles. Plus, I would not use carrots cause they are rather sweet, and instead I'd use less-sweet veggies like fennel, zucchini, celery, cabbage, etc. Oh, and I'd cover it with nuts to boost the protein. (Nuts + chicken, nuts + shrimp, nuts + tofus, etc.)

Also, I learned a LOT from The Yeast Connection Cookbook. There are recipies in there which are very helpful if you are dealing with a limited range of ingredients due to carbs, or if you have food sensitivies.

Do you have a waffle maker, or can you afford to boy one (15-20$ for a cheap one). They're indispensible, I think, when you're doing a hard core candida cleanse. You can make waffles out of buckwheat and other non-tradtional grains, and they are yeast free and low carb and serve as good "bread". I used to make Carob-walnut-buckwheat waffles, sweetened with stevia, and they were the closest thing I got to eating an actual brownie. Hmm... maybe I'll make some this weekend!! The recipe is in that book I mentioned.

(I had to re-post this, to take advantage of my cool icon!)

looks like you already have received a whole lotta advice, but incase this isn't in there, i have been loving oil and lemon on salad. when masina wasn't eating vinegar we started this but now i am enjoying it more than vinegar. i also lightly salt the salad after squeezing the lemon. yum. also loving baked squash with brags and butter put in once it is turned face up. good luck with it. xx
