I'm afraid that I don't tolerate nuts (too high carb) and I steer clear of fish because of the mercury content. Eating tuna fish helped get me where I am. I basically eat meat, non-starchy vegetables, eggs and good fats. I have a bad reaction if I eat anything with grains, or dairy, which wipes out another two food groups. Obviously I'm off sugar, alcohol etc etc. The reason I was looking at the low-carb website is that I am desperate to eat something else without it having a disastrous impact on the candida. I am also worried that having eliminated so much from my diet I will be super sensitive to a lot of foods now.

I eat eggs for breakfast, with ham or tomatoes. Usually a salad with some sort of protein (chicken or tinned sardines) for lunch, and meat with cooked vegetables for dinner. I 'snack' on raw vegetables like peppers or endives. This seems to keep the candida symptoms at bay. Nuts are a disaster at the moment, as is anything with gluten.

I guess there are no real shortcuts, just slogging on with it. It is so hard though, and I am so fed up....
