Hi everyone,
Yesterday was my first day on 80/10/10. I have been horribly ill for 3 years with candida and only recently discovered that my high fat/protein "anti-candida" diet may have been why I haven't gotten any better. So I have decided to give this fruit based diet a try instead.
By the end of my first day however, I have horrible oral thrush. That's something that hasn't been a problem of mine in a long time on the high fat diet. I'm wondering if this is normal for the first day or so while the body adjusts to the change and starts to get all of the excess fat from my previous diet out of my stomach? I will admit that I caved and ate some low fat grains yesterday too, maybe that is to blame?
Also, I am horribly underweight from spending 2.5 years starving myself on the anti-candida diet. I really need to gain weight and am wondering if this is possible on the 80/10/10. I struggled to get calories in yesterday, but I expected that for my first day with my stomach not used to eating so much volume.
Thanks for any advice!

Hi Kirstin,
Don't know lots about getting rid of candida but pretty sure yeasts flourish on sugar ,so am not convinced a high sugar diet would be the way to go ?
Good luck with it I hope you get on ok.

Hi Kristin406 did you continue with this diet? I have recently become vegan and I'm looking to transition into fruitarian but today I had 2 banana smoothies alongside my usual blueberry bowl smoothie and I had a HUGE flare. My Candida affects my mental health as well as physical so it scares me when I down cycle but I'd like to try and stick it out as I am feeling the health benefits from ridding myself of meat.
Any update would be amazing
