Bex,

Thanks for the info. I've been doing a very strict candida diet for close to 3 years now (the Whole Approach diet, which is the most strict I've found). I have been eating too many gluten-free carbs lately though, and a little too much fruit (which I only recently added back into my diet after about 2 years without it....didn't seem healthy to not eat fruit for that long) -- I'm definitely feeling the effects of the carbs though, and need to tighten back up on things. I also drank alcohol a couple times this summer, also for the first time in 2.5 years, which is definitely not good for the candida. But after 2.5 - 3 years, you need a splurge every now and then to stay sane on such a diet, with such extreme health problems. But I'm cleaning things up again, which should help.
