James/Joe, I strongly recommend to you both to join this group
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/candidasupport/

Any questions or concerns you have about the diet or how to tweak it, or whether this or that should be organic or not will be much better answered by the experts on there than myself.

Some thing "may" need to be organic, not everything. You'll find out which ones are best that way. Also check out the files on that group, it has an absolute load of information. You will get the info you need upon joining the group, they sent it to your email.

Yes, potatoes are not allowed on this diet (no way). In fact, potatoes are probably one of the WORST thing you can eat at this point. They are so high in carbs, that I recall even when I wasn't doing this diet as strictly as I am now (I was still have a piece of fruit a day and having milk in my tea), I had a bag of potatoe chips and I just about went insane with itching in embarrassing places that night. From that alone.

Come to find out later, my bits of fruit here and there and adding milk to things was also a bit of a hindrance too. Some people can seem to take the bits of natural sugars, depending on how bad the candida is. But it is just too easy to feed it i reckon.

You can also find out what supplements are best on that group link I sent. You may add a few if you really want, but they are the basics of what we should be getting.

James, just checking out your top post with the list of foods, sorry I missed answering that. Hash browns and ketchup are definitely out. But the others? Eggs, spring onions, bacon (may need to be organic), sausages (again will need to be pure), should be ok. Liver, chicken, all meats are fine too.

PS. the allergy connection with consuming the same foods? You will not have to worry about on this diet, you will find out the discrepancies in that theory on the group. People there are eating these foods all day, everyday and are not developing allergies. Healing symptoms? yes.

The usual allergy foods are coincidentally ones that seem to aggravete the gut and feed candida. Like grains, high sugar fruit, diary products etc. Allergy? Or could it be that it feeds an existing yeast problem?
