Lose Weight and Feel Better on a Candida Diet

This hub will be dedicated to a diet to help battle Candida overgrowth. Candida is now and epidemic growing out of control. Candida can lead to many issues of your health. Doctors are a great contributor to this epidemc by filling us with antobiotics for everything. Antibiotics kill all bacteria in our bodies, good and bad, causing Candida to grow out of control. So I am going to post recipes that are allowed on a Candida diet plus a list of foods that are allowed on the diet. So keep checking back and see what is new.

Microwave Method

Breads on a Candida Diet

Most breads are a no-no! But after a lot of research I found one company that makes breads that are allowed on the Candida diet. French Meadow Bread have various breads that are sugar, yeast, gluten, dairy and fat free. Here are a few that you have. You may find other brands that follow these lines, ask at your local health food store.

Brown Rice Bread

Kamut Bread

Millet Bread

Rye Bread

Sourdough Bread

Spelt breads, bagles, pizza crust.

Look for these breads at health food store near you. They taste great and if you are like me I love my breads.

I'm on my 2nd day of a candida cleanse/diet but I'm craving cruncy items, can you suggest something other than nuts?

Braggs is an apple cider vinegar

For crunches try rice cakes or veggies. I also like to slice potatoes very thin and bake them.

I am in week 3 of the candida diet and I could not have made it this far with our the help of your blog. The Moroccan chicken is to die for !! The carb shake saved me from cheating with bad deserts and the flank steak was a hit at a dinner party!!! My 2nd week was hardest for me to get through, but after i cheated really bad one evening I went to your site pull 5 recipes, went shopping, and have felt really good all of week 3 about the foods I am eating and how I am feeling. This is going to be a life change for me not just a 6 week diet and I thank you for helping me get through it!! You are a fabulous chef!!!

Thanks again,

Its so difficult at the moment just finding food without sugar, just in my canteen at work today looking for something for lunch and everything was unhealthy or had loads of sugar in. Now with your help I can cook a healthy meal I can enjoy

Thanx again
