This diet was tough for me but it has made me feel so much better!! There are so many opinions and things on this diet of what you can and can’t eat. I do think you should stay strict. I basically knew what threw my candida (or yeast) overgrowth over the edge. For me it was starches. Potatoes are something we eat very often in our home. Recently it began to mess with my blood sugar.
All of the things I cut were dairy with the exception of raw yogurt and raw milk (milk is rarely for me in this diet), sugars ( replaced with monk fruit & stevia), coffee, carbs (limited to 60 carbs daily). I had no gluten except for einkorn flour which has good glutens. Check more about einkorn HERE.
This is the core of what I did to heal my gut. I’m not fully done but I feel like I am close to it. Lots of yeast die off has happened! It’s important to take things to help kill the candida overgrowth because you can’t do it with only food.
I used essential oils to help and they did amazing. In a pill capsule I used 5 drops lemongrass, 4 drops thyme, 4 drops tea tree, 2 drop geranium. The beginning of candida looked like 2 of these pill capsules a day. Later on only 1. I used ningxia red for my blood sugar. Then I used Life 9 probiotic over any other because the amount of bacteria strains are insane. I am talking 17 billion live culture strains! I made raw yogurt with it and used a stevia syrup I made to sweeten it. I also used occasionally, 4 drops of Copaiba essential oil for the days I had UTI from yeast die off. When your body starts to get rid of the yeast that happens, and it’s a good thing! Drinking lots & lots of water so you’re always going to the bathroom is so important.
For yeast die off most of the time it is really tiring and painful sometimes. It felt like a huge bus hit me some days. Here’s what I did. I took a bath with 1 cup unscented epsom salt, 1 cup baking soda, and 1-2 drops of lemon essential oil. I sat there for 30-45 minutes. After that I was completely fine and energized again!
******Not all oils are the same so when I talk about oils I only speak for Young Living. I have done tons of research and called oil companies. None of them let me visit their farms or could tell me they have any. You can’t make essential oils without plants unless it’s in a lab. A lab defeats the purpose of an essential oil.
