I have done the candida diet moderate to somewhat strict for almost a year and a half. Its been very hard. I've slipped at times and done pizza, done a little sugar, eat fruits but I am at the point now where should I even continue? How long do I have to do no sugar, yeast, pizza, and countless other things. Life is miseerable enough. I can't say I feel great doing this diet, somewhat better but man comon. Sorry for being such a wimp. Maybe I should bite the bullet and go all the way again. Is using stevia acceptable in the candida diet? Thanks, Diane
