Yes two years is a long time to be on a diet, but my understanding is that the candida is there while the mercury is there, and the mercury isn't going anywhere fast (while I detox with DMSA), so I have to stay on the diet until the mercury is gone and my gut slowly heals. I think I have a LOT of mercury.

Any carbohydrate gives me bloating and discomfort, so I am simply feeding the candida if I eat them, and making myself worse. Blasting the candida with antifungals and releasing mercury also makes me feel worse, so I am simply on a 'hold' position while I detox the mercury. Hence the diet for 2 years.

I think that realistically I will be eating this way for a long time, and it gives me no great pleasure to say that. Thanks for all the suggestions....
