I've been reading a bit of the information by Dr. Crook in Yeast, and his methods sound good. Particularly, the focus on isolating food allergies and sensitivities that may have resulted from overexposure or candida. Is anyone more familiar with is work, and what do the people here think about his ideologies on the topic?- Re: Dr. Crook's Yeast Connection objoyfl

I'm glad to hear that. I've been reading his Yeast Connection Cookbook, and it has be very helpful in helping me plan out my strategy to fight candida. I like his approach to food allergies because it doesn't seem like the hardest parts will drag on forever. Well, I hope it doesn't. I plan to start the Elimination Diet next week if I have the will power. I've started gradually eliminating sugars of all kinds except fruit, but I'm trying to keep my fruit down to about 2 servings per day, and I've also already started removing wheat which I believe has caused a great deal of my stomach upsets. I'm going to try to stock up on some of the ingredients including the alternate grains to help me get started this weekend.
I've just completed a parasite cleanse, a basic bowel cleanse, and my first Liver Flush over the past month. Now is probably my best chance to get started. Wish me luck!- Re: Dr. Crook's Yeast Connection objoyfl

Sounds like you're going about it the right way. I didn't when I started because there was NO information on protocol 12 years ago. No one spoke of cleanses, etc. Now I'm thinking I need to do the cleanses and start all over again. My problem is that I'm diabetic and the whole issue of blood Sugar and insulin and candida is very tricky and scary. Anybody who's got any information on this I'd really appreciate it. Like, is there a simple way to juggle all this in one body??? LOL!- Re: Dr. Crook's Yeast Connection prettysoulful

This is a reply to # 292,247Hmmm. That sounds like a job for a pro. Have you tried to catch Andreas Moritz or the Barefoot Herbalist? I would say that the simplest start in cleansing would be the P&B shakes. They don't raise blood Sugar and can help you eliminate waste build up and toxins. Of course, the Water Cure is believed to have a positive effect on diabetes, but that may only apply to early onset, not established diabetes. I'd say P&B is the way to go. Simple, cheap, and non-insulin/glucose affecting. Also, as long as you can go a couple of hours without eating without a reaction, you should be able to fit a shake or two into your day (P&B shakes require no food 1 hour before or after). I hope you find a save way to do it.
Hey, also check with the Colonix, Dr. Natura's, people. I've heard people have really great success with this system and it can be used for parasites and colon cleanses. I was even reading today that a woman was expelling liver/ Gallstones within 2 weeks on the program. She didn't know what they were, but fresh off my flush I was all too aware.

If wheat is causing you alot of stomach discomfort you should look into gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease. I ended up having this and not candida like I had thought. I had a score of 314 on Dr. Crooks yeast questionaire and for the 4 months I was on the diet my score would fluctuate between 150 & 200. I was only eating meat, fish, eggs and veggies but I was still getting sick...at the time I thought it was die-off. Now that I got a proper diagnosis (3 weeks ago) my score is under 50 already and my many food and chemical sensitivities are going away. :)
I also took tests to find out how bad my candida was...turns out I didn't have any overgrowth...but I did have just about every symptom on that questionaire over the last 3 years. Anyways I'm noticing from talking with people on other boards that many people who thought they had candida really had gluten intolerance, like myself, so I thought I'd share that with you.

That is one of the things I am planning on testing during my elimination diet. I also may be allergic to some citrusy fruits, so hopefully I will know for sure after the diet. Once I began really studying the information on food allergies , I began to suspect wheat and gluten. For now, I'm avoiding anything made with wheat if possible.
What would be a good way for me to test myself for gluten sensitivity?- Re: Dr. Crook's Yeast Connection Rachel--24

prettysoulful,
There are bloodtests that your doctor can run but they are useless if you've already started a diet limiting gluten. I had to pay out of pocket for tests done at an outside lab which specializes in Gluten Intolerance since I'd already been doing the candida diet for 4 months. They were able to detect antibodies in my stool...the tests are more sensitive than the bloodtests so I tested positive for the 4 tests performed. To self-diagnose requires a bit of learning about gluten..its in pretty much everything...not just the obvious bread, pasta, cookies and crackers. For example..I was getting symptoms still while on the candida diet. I finally figured out that my lotion and supplements were the main things involved...they all had gluten. That was what led me to my diagnosis. Gluten is not generally listed as an ingred. on labels...modified food starch, artificial flavors, natural flavors, maltodexrin...all of these indicate gluten in the product. Symptoms persist until all gluten sources are removed..so its really difficult to diagnose unless you are extremely careful and knowledgeable about the diet. Here are some links to "hidden" gluten or gluten containing ingredients.

Anyways...you can do what is called a "gluten challenge"...remove gluten for a few weeks and then reintroduce it. If gluten were a problem for you most symptoms will improve if off gluten 100%...symptoms will return after consuming gluten again. You will know for sure.
