Raw Newbie
What does everyone suggest for Candida? Naturopaths have always thought (since I was 10) that I had candida, but tests always came up negative. So I always thought I didn't have it. 7 months ago I went raw, still raw, I have drastically changed my diet a few weeks ago though. I only eat 1/2 avocado a day for fat, veggie juice, gr smoothies, salad, apples, oranges, and carrots. I will be eliminating bananas and probably oranges and apples. Before I was eating a lot of dates and coconut oil and I was feeling worse than ever. I did the saliva test for candida and it came positive, I also have a yeast infection. I kind of think its odd that this all happened AFTER going raw, when before when I was consuming cookies daily it didn't. What does everyone suggest I do? What supplements? What diet? Everyone is different so I might have to try a bit of everything. Last year I spent a thousand dollars on a naturopath and supplements. Again she thought I had candida so the diet, and supplements were specifically for that, it is weird that her help didn't do anything. I also don't want to keep up a strict diet of berries and veggies for 6 months, I would like it to be half of that. I looked up the glycemic index of fruit and it looks like melon is lower than berries? What about consuming beet, garlic, carrot, green, juice? I read where that juice is not good for candida. Would love what everyone has to say as I don't have the money right now to go to a doctor.
I am taking probiotics and I have GSE also if that would help?

Thanks you two, yes I found your post about your experience kellyanne and was very surprised because all the information I had been reading up until that point said no fruit.
Hello
I had candida symptoms when I first went veg. I bought something called "candida clear" it's made with herbs and seems to be mostly oregano and black walnut. I took that and cut back on the sugary starchy things. I also took a probiotic. Within a few days I felt much better. I kept up with the treatment for about two weeks and have not had any troubles since. I think it's a matter of getting it under control and then gradually adding back regular foods.
Good luck wtih this!
