Dealing with candida with a raw diet
The bacteria actually do all the hard work for you. Most yogurts have probiotic qualities, but some are better than others. Then I went about 75% cooked vegan and 25% raw vegan and my candida symptoms returned. It is simply milk fermented with kefir grains, and is full of nutritious probiotics. In answer to all the emails about how I cured my candida here is my candida story. Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria Bifidum are particularly helpful. And of course, always buy Organic if you can. This is as easy as buying a yogurt culture and some milk, then putting in a little effort to set things up. When I went 100% raw it became worse at first but then went away entirely. Well, first of all I noticed that the longer I had been off the 100% raw diet the longer it took to get well once I went 100% raw again. When I went 100% raw again, the symptoms again got worse at first but after a few weeks went away completely again staying away for as long as I was 100% raw vegan. Cut the cabbage into thin strips, toss it with a little sea salt, then pack it down tightly into a bowl. Modern packaging methods mean that much of the sauerkraut you see on the shelves has actually been stripped of all its probiotic goodness. You can also easily make your own sauerkraut. Check that they contain some of the bacteria listed on our. These foods include probiotic yogurt, kefir and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi. Then I slowly fell off the wagon back to about 50% raw. This time the candida worsened for about six weeks and then did the complete disappearing act once again.

a cooked-vegan diet that it caused me to have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REACTIONS TO FRUIT SUGAR. The food is pasteurized before being canned or jarred, destroying all the billions of beneficial bacteria that it contains. The best thing is that you can keep using those same kefir grains almost indefinitely, so this is a very economical way to produce your probiotics. In other words what seems to be true for me is that when I am cooked I can not tolerate fruit sugar. But when I am 100% raw vegan after a short time (three to six weeks) I can tolerate any amount of fruit sugars and even honey. Remember that excess sugar can feed or restart a Candida overgrowth. And I realized that my inner terrain must be so different on a raw-vegan diet vs. Sauerkraut and kimchi are the most commonly used fermented foods. Make sure to buy yogurt with a lower sugar content, and certainly no added sugar. So I developed a few ideas about what was happening. Before I went raw I ate a SAD (Standard American Diet) and I had really bad candida (a sugar related condition). I think that the increased fruit sugar is part of what made my candida worse when I started back onto a raw vegan diet. Even better, forget the confusing labels on supermarket brands and make your own probiotic yogurt. Just find some kefir grains (you can buy packs online or get some from a friend) and place them in a jar of milk. Kefir is a fermented milk drink that you may find in your local supermarket. AGAIN the candida returned and stayed with me until two years later when I was able to go 100% raw again. These can be taken at the same time as probiotic supplements and are a great addition to any diet. Some of them are an acquired taste, but you are sure to find at least one to enjoy. My first theory was that the fruit sugar must be somehow combining with the processed refined sugar that must still have been in my system.
