Yeast Free Bread

I did not realize how large of a role bread played in my diet until I decided to give it up back in 2006 when I first embarked on the candida diet.   I used to eat bread several times a day and really had a hard time with the transition to no bread.  It wasn’t so much [...]

Madhouse Munchies Kettle Cooked Potato Chips – Candida Diet Snack

I was never a big potato chip fan but my children like them and so I do keep them in the house.   I usually by the Cape Cod variety but I noticed this blue bag among the potato chip offerings one day at the farmer’s market and was drawn in by the words “Simple Natural Goodness”.  I of [...]

Applegate Farms Uncured Hot Dogs – Candida Diet Product

Most of us know that hot dogs really are not that good for us.  The candida diet warns against consuming hot dogs due to the preservatives it contains, particularly sodium nitrate.  Most hot dogs contain sodium nitrates which some research suggests increases the risk of cancer.  So can we possibly find a hot dog that does [...]

Yeast Free Brown Rice Flour – Candida Diet Product

If you asked me what gluten free flour do I use the most in my yeast free kitchen, I would have to say brown rice flour.  This was the first gluten free flour that I started experimenting with when I had to get wheat out of the house.  Most experiments have gone well but not all.  I have [...]

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 [...]

Trader Joe’s Alaskan Pink Salmon – Candida Diet Product

Canned food products that do not contain any extra additives or preservatives are really hard to come by but I was lucky enough to stumble upon this gem while at Trader Joe’s.  I was actually looking for canned crabmeat but could not find any without preservatives.  I noticed a few different varieties of canned salmon and started to read [...]

Stevia SweetLeaf – Candida Diet Product

Are there any acceptable sweeteners to use on the candida diet?  I see this question a lot in many candida diet forums and there is never a straightforward answer.  This is one of those gray issues on the candida diet.  The strictest candida diet programs omit all sweeteners natural or not and this may be necessary for [...]

Grapeseed Oil – Candida Diet Product

Grapeseed oil is new to me.  A few weeks back I bought a bottle of it from Trader Joe’s hoping to experiment a bit.  It sat on my shelf for quite a while and it was not until I ran out of safflower oil and did not feel like going to Whole Foods that I remembered [...]
