Low Carbohydrate Vegetables for the Candida Diet

My recipes here on Yeast Free Living contain all vegetables allowed on the candida diet.  This includes those vegetables which most candida diet guidelines suggest should be eaten in moderation.  Although I have fared pretty well keeping these vegetables in my diet without exacerbating my candidiasis symptoms, I realize that some candida dieters may not be this lucky.   Consuming [...]

What Type of Milk is Okay for the Candida Diet?

Most candida diet plans that you encounter recommend eliminating regular milk, cow’s milk, due to the high level of lactose, milk sugar, that it contains.  The concern is that lactose will feed the candida thereby hindering your diet efforts to eliminate it.  Milk however is such an important part of our lives providing numerous health [...]

Yeast Free Gluten Free Flours for the Candida Diet

I didn’t give up wheat until both of my children were diagnosed with wheat allergies at the end 2009.  I managed to do very well on the candida diet a few years back while still consuming 100% whole wheat pasta and flour in moderation.  I realize that this is not the case for every candida dieter [...]

Moderation and the Candida Diet

Moderation is defined by Dictionary.com as  the quality of being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme.  I have always had a problem with the concept of moderation in many areas of my life but I find it especially hard to grasp on the candida diet.  Those of you who are familiar with the candida diet have probably become very familiar [...]

Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas – Candida Diet Product

Trader Joe’s Brown Rice Tortillas are a very interesting yeast free product.  I realize that you are probably interpreting the word interesting as code for gross but that is not exactly the case.  To be honest these brown rice tortillas did fail miserably at what I intended to use them for.  I thought that I would [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu – 4/4/10

This picture pretty much sums up how my Easter went on the candida diet.   It all seemed like such a fun idea at the time but 3 Peep bunnies in, I knew I was in trouble.  I am not going to bother with the excuses because there are many.  The bottom line is I have not been [...]

Emotional Eating and The Candida Diet

For the first time in quite a while I actually got tripped up on the candida diet during the week and it had nothing to do with socializing which has admitelly been my downfall lately.  The cheating incident actually occurred at about 11:30PM last night while I was sitting on my couch all by my lonesome.  I [...]

This Week’s Candida Diet Menu

I am really having a hard time writing my candida diet menu for the week right now but I am trying to force myself to so that I can start the week off ready to go.    I had kind of a profound weekend and have really been mulling over my interaction with several people this [...]

Candida Diet Breakfast

It is often said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I believe this wholeheartedly.  My morning rarely goes well when I have not had at least a little something to eat.  Although breakfast is characterized as the most important meal of day, breakfast in the traditional American diet usually consist of highly [...]
