After binging for years on chocolate, lemonade, candy, biscotti, cookies, sweetened and flavored yogurt, etc., I would follow it all up with wheat beer after a pasta dinner. I thought for months my guts were rotting out on me. I am active and athletic, but this stuff was killing me. Candida is an epidemic, I'm now sure this has been what's wrong with me. My sex drive has tanked during this period, only to be replaced by epic flatulence. My wife is a saint putting up with me to this point. Now the new year is here, and I am DETERMINED to get back to health by eliminating all this crap from my diet. Not because I should, but because I HAVE TO. This is a great video. Thank you so much!
Please don’t not listen to this persons advice. They don’t know what they’re talking about and will make your health worse. Kombucha is fuel for candida. Mallasezia or fungal acne, another yeast overgrowth lives off oil - butter and olive oil will make it worse.
Don't let any one tell you that the Candida diet doesn't work , in which it does . Don't let anyone scare you do the diet . Which is only last about 3 to 4 weeks to being on the diet . Some people may take a little bit longer depends on how bad they have overgrown Yeats. The first time i was on the candida diet , i was a complete mess . sinus problems ( i couldn't breath ) chest congested bloating constipation - my stools were black . I was very sensitive to all kinds of odor / smell . For 16 years working the night shift - 5 1/2 hours of sleep everyday for 16 years Drinking coffee, sodas , pastry , and kinds of junk foods . No, I wasn't just some lazy person just sitting on the coach. I was a very active person . I went to see an Allergy Doctor 😷 . He knew what kind of problems i had before i even walk into the clinic. He put me on a candida diet , probiotics ( fresh probiotic kept in a refrigerator ) , multivitamins , and Mucus -D Plus he gave me a book full of candida diet recipes . This Allergy doctor save my life .
Thanks for sharing and helping others to learn about how to heal. Can you share the names of products that helped you and the foods you incorporated like probiotics, multivitamins please thanks
Great video to make us aware of the concerns of yeast overgrowth and micro biome health. According to online sources, “in healthy amounts, Candida helps you maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms, as well as support your immune system, aid in digestion, and promote vitamin and mineral absorption from food.” We all have it. It’s when it overgrows, that it becomes a problem. Potatoes without cides.….”are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. As a bonus, potatoes are low in calories, contain no fat or cholesterol, and are sodium-free. They're high in vitamin C and potassium and are a good source of vitamin B6. A medium potato, about 5.5 ounces, contains only 145 calories.” Candida overgrowth is also reported to come from herbicides, pesticides and even personal care products.
Thank you so much! I have an ongoing issue with candida. Recently it got really out of control and it made me very sick. I appreciate the helpful information and support. 💕
Terry Wahl's protocol book - suggests she gives her candida client saccramycees bourlardi spelling wrong - its helping cure mine a mircle probiotic - cheap By now foods
I treated Canadia with food. I needed more sodium chloride, I used turmeric and I ate foods that did not contain yeast or fake man made sugars and now I am fine.
i was low sodium so normal levels. Turmeric wasn't all that necessary. maybe have more salty snacks and avoid foods that causes you to use up lots of sodium like corn and meat and veg, Check your sodium through a blood test @@incorectulpolitic
How much salt did you eat per day do heal candida? 5 grams per day ? 10g per day ? 15g per day ? What type of salt, table salt, celtic salt, himalayan salt ? Why does corn, neat, veg use up lots of sodium ?@@footstepsforTheLordMostHigh
I currently use pickling salt which is 98% sodium chloride without the anticaking agent. I suck on salt, add it to water, I reduced my water intake, I add more salt to my food when ever I can. I stay away from high fructose corn syrup but i eat honey and maple syrup. I try to get at least 1 tsp a day @@incorectulpolitic
What worked for me was keto, no carbs, no sugar, no alcohol. Fibre from chiaseed and popcorn (i popped it myself in coconut oil). On top of that I ate curried vegetables with lots of garlic, ginger and fresh chilis. That's what killed it for me after about 8 months of sustaining that diet. I did eat dairy, dairy didn't seem to strengthen candida and even seemed to aid the rest of my gut flora.
I tried homemade kefir but bcs I made it myself the sugar content would sometimes be higher which would trigger a flare. I think if you do kefir I’d go for second ferment just to make sure it eats up all the sugar
I challenge anyone to go find anything, food or drinks that are even mildly processed and low on sugar. It is much harder than you think. And to make matters worse, if it does not actually have sugar, it has Aspartame, which is even worse. There is literally nothing you can drink! You might as well plan on drinking water. Even grapefruit juice has huge amounts of added sugar. 😕
We have to be our own private health investigators. We must be willing to give up certain foods for sometime while we heal from this insdeous yeast. Saccharomyces boulardii probiotic from now foods - along with dietary protocol is an arsenal against bad microbes - Terry Wahl's book taught me that. Then if you are a tough health warrior you can take raw ginger and garlic - must must do this for minimum time and deceide it waill be a life style - Like the movie stars - We are made of star dust. In the book when " Food Bites Back " Get it! It will change your life!
I have organic unrefined coconut oil can I consume that daily or are you referring to something different? And I have have red beet and cabbage organic kraut is this ok or does it have to be plain Kraut? Please would love some help thanks.
You have choice only to some degree. Consider that people who live in more impoverished areas are not even offered healthy alternatives in their grocery stores. Consider that children who are introduced to sugar can develop an addiction that is more powerful than heroin. Consider the stress and long work hours that so many people are required to work in order to pay the light bill and exorbitant rental rates and are too exhausted to consider healthy alternatives. Consider that food companies intentionally want to addict us and can do so without consequence, and consider that these large corporations can pretty much do anything they want to do because they can pay the best lawyers. I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Some famous guy said something like, "oh you hypocrites, placing impossible burdens on people's backs and not lifting a finger to help". That pretty much describes what most of humanity are up against.
I hate the yucky microscope pics😣I have had candida off and on for 25 years. I have had to go to extreme measures ie. intermittent fasting that goes beyond these basics. ANY dairy including kefir is an absolute Nono
How awful is it to go to the grocery store and have to choose between organic (non poisonous) and poisonous foods. If you are poor you have to buy the food with poison on it. Shouldn’t the government require all food to be both real and organic?
Doctors don’t mention it because they are taught very little about nutrition in med school. The medical model is to treat everything with drugs or surgery. They do need to make money off you after all you know!
@@saramcdowell4735 Try other fermented foods like milk kefir, water kefir, coconut kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and miso paste. Also take a Soil Based Organism(SBO) Probiotic Supplement. A very important herb that you should take to kill off Candida is Pau d Arco. Buy it in bulk to save money. Consume it as tea. Starwest botanicals is a good brand. While drinking this tea expect to experience candida die off symptoms like increased gas, bloating, headaches, nausea, fever, and body aches etc. It will seem to get worse before it gets better. Also for your diet either go on a very low carb diet by ditching all grains, sugar and dairy that is not fermented or eat safe carbs like white rice, sweet potatoes and other provisions, carrots and other root vegetables and lots of leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli etc. Make sure and eat moderate protein and eat lots of healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, mct oil, olive oil, butter, ghee, tallow, olives, avocado oil, lard, nuts, nut butters and seeds and seed butters. Sprouted grains and seeds are even better. Coconut and coconut products are also a healthy source of fats like coconut flakes, coconut flour, coconut butter and coconut milk. Coconut oil especially kills candida so consume about 1-4 tbsp daily😉 So if you are underweight like me and worried about losing weight choose the second option and don't go low carb. You will have to avoid all fruit though including dried fruit as they naturally contain sugar🙂 P.S White rice is much better for you than brown rice as brown rice has high levels of arsenic which is removed during processing. You can also choose quinoa as well as buckwheat, millet, and amaranth. These are carbs you should eat😉
@@blackops844No need for anti-fungal medication which just treats the symptoms and not the root cause. The best thing is Pau d Arco herb which is a powerful anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It's a powerful antibiotic. It kills Candida in it's tracks. It's even more effective than oil of oregano which is another very powerful antibiotic which also has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties but don't work for everyone so Pau d Arco is way better. Ditch those 🗑💩 antifungal medications which don't help. Take natural herbs instead. When would we realize that doctors only want to keep us sick🤦🏻♀️ Antibiotics are the same thing. They only make things worse. AVOID!
Regarding MCT: if you have blood type A, using refined coconut oil brings on gall stones by day 30. You may have the coconut milk and cream without problem. If you developed gall stones try the Bragg removal. 2 gallons raw apple cider, mixed with 2 and a half cups raw apple cider vinager (Bragg works). Drink all of it on days 1 through 3. On day 4 have NO FAT, juice or find fat free things. Day 5, eat as much fat as you can, fries and ice cream and penutbutter etc. Pain ends by end of day 3. If severe pain after any fatty meal you can be at emergency surgery stage, where the stones blocked the ducts and the gall bladder started to rot, while it keeps pushing on the stones.
Just realized that my RANDOM horrible candida for years could have been linked to my weight gain after my visit to the US. Hope my diet gets me back to my old self.
It will. You just need to follow the healthy diet protocol and check on vitamin and minerals deficiencies. Food plays tremendous role in our being healthy and not visiting docs constantly like many do unfortunately (
Yeah don't do that. I put garlic in my ear and it burned the fugg ..it can also contain lots of bacteria which you don't want in your ear. Just eat the garlic and olive oil and leave your ears and sinus alone.
@mariacarneiro7495 don't do it it burns like the worst pain you've ever had. Not a good idea. Also can introduce bacteria into your ear. Just eat the garlic ..crush it with salt leave for 5 minutes and eat it with olive oil or on food. You should not out that in your nose or ear. Use an antifungal cream from the chemist and do the diet.
I gave up blood pressure pills and statins forever by eating a grapefruit every morning. The main reason doctors tell you no grapefruit is because it lowers your blood pressure. I couldn't afford medication so I tapered off it by taking it every other day. Now that you know what to do when you're sick and broke.
@@Pookie501I honestly HAVE to try this ! I hate all the things mentioned on the to eat list. Esp grapefruit. But im gonna buy some and TRY . My circulation is HORRID and dealing with vascular testing and surgeons now!
I'm quite certain, after watching a few videos about this condition, that i suffered with candida from age 13 to 23ish. I used to have pain in my midsection that would be mild at first, late in the afternoon, and would intensify at a consistent level for about 12 to 16 hours until i was in such tremendous pain that i would've eaten a bullet without hesitation. Doctors in the early 1980's were absolutely clueless. I guess i was the first human with this condition, perhaps. I was being treated for gall stones, but that didn't work. At some point it was called IBS, and then they called it gastritis. I eventually stopped having those life altering stomach pains by changing my diet.
Yes, please, more about the changes. When I made sourkraut and used it daily, stomach did better, lost belly inches, lost a tiny bit of weight most days.
Traditional doctors don't bother or know much about Candida issues but Functional Medicine doctors and Naturopaths do. If you can't afford to see one, these tests are helpful... -CDSA x3 with Parasitic test (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis) OR a similar test, they will be able to see what is going on in your gut like Candida overgrowth, bacteria, parasites, etc. Good sources for this test are Doctor's Data Lab, Genova Diagnostics Lab in Chicago, and Vibrant Wellness Lab. -EVVY Vaginal Test (for vagina owners/vaginal issues like Vaginal Yeast infections, BV, pH imbalances, etc.) Doctor's Data Lab has a good Vaginosis Lab you can have your doctor order. -DUTCH Salivary Cortisol Test (Adrenal Fatigue and Cortisol levels can be a huge culprit) -Comprehensive IgG/IgA/IgE Food Allergy AND Food Sensitivity testing to identify antibodies. Try to aim for blood testing and if you can't afford both, do the Food Sensitivity testing because high sensitivities will signal a possible allergy that is throwing your system off. -Heavy Metal Testing (Urine) -Other test... Indican Urine Testing, and Organics Acid Testing.
@@Alyssa-Breannethey dont know bcuz fungus was said to be the number 1 killer in the future back in the 80s they planned on it so ofcourse they know nothing😂
Yes, intermittent fasting starves candida. Here is a starting video that explains more. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-InM6gQkYCRQ.html
What common thing from drs and every "helpful" video is the focus so much on what not to eat. I GET IT! Talk about what I can eat. Constantly talking about what you can't eat is not helpful. How am I supposed to create a new meal plan to help my overall health if you can't even give me a list of 10 things that I CAN eat. It really makes me think the doctors don't give a s*** if you get better or not. They leave everything so vague and want you to figure everything out yourself. No one's going to spoon-feed them so sauerkraut. Make it make since!
She said lean fats and greens. If you have candida overgrowth, the diet needs to be strict. Once your body is more balanced, you can start to add more foods back into it gradually.
If female frontal groin gets stinky from imbalance of bacteria a quick fix is organic honey as a scrub, entirely drop soap for that area. It works immediately. Also switching from soap to honey as face wash will usually drop acne 90% in a week. Using it as leg shave gell drops the bumps 80% at least, reduced ingrown hairs.
Organic Honey is the scrub. It ends allergic reactions to soap, and bees made antibiotics in it. A one hour facial of pure organic honey is miraculous. It seems to pull toxins and bacteria as it crystallizes.
I’m on day 6 of the Candida cleanse and had felt great up until yesterday. Now I’m getting that “keto” flu feeling. Leg cramps, foot cramps, restless legs and headaches. I have increased my magnesium Glycinate and my potassium 99 mg from once per day to twice per day. That’s helping but is there anything else I can do? I’ve always been prone to leg cramps, so was my mom, so I know that magnesium Glycinate and potassium help. Just wondering if there’s any foods I can get it from to help and also with the headaches.
Hemp seeds are rich in magnesium with 3 tbsp providing about 300 mg🙂 there's also dark chocolate and spinach among other foods. Spinach and sweet potato are rich in potassium. Also magnesium seems to help with headaches so getting it naturally from foods is best. Peppermint oil and lavender essential oil applied topically and diluted should help with headaches😊
as someone who suffers from similar things i take a quality multi vit and anti infamatory stuff like omega 3 glucosamine with chondrotin and msm a along with a Bcomple because and zinc our body needs so many different nutrients that just the mag and pot does not solve the problem
@@DrTazMD :)!!!!!!!!!!Most Everything you put out there has seem to be magical. specially the interview with Dr.Norm Shealy you gave us all an opportunity to be 52 years young with his "magnetic ring, and recently you had said something about a supplement that can reverse age-very few peopledoes that Dr. Taz :)!!. You are a Gem of many facets!!!:)!!
Not yogart but greek or Kiefer is better. Add stevia or mink fruit to sweeten. Lemon & water with stevia every day. ACV & water. Dark sugar free chocolate with good nuts for desert. (Lillys) I make a keto chocolate cake 1-2 times a week.(almond & coconut flour). No wheat. I'm working on it. 😊
Thank you for your information… is there a time frame to know when you’re better? Also I cannot do fermented foods due to histamine Amy other suggestions?
Hi Dr. Taz! Thank you for sharing this info with us!! I have a question, what oils can I take? I'm alergic to coconut and cow's milk (I can't eat ghee)... Do you think olive oil is good? And sesame oil?
From the "bad group" I only eat potatoes (sometimes), but I have bloating and a stomachache for 5 months... I didn't have this problem before I tried to eliminate sugar... I think I can have IBS or/and SIBO
@@jesusmalverde612Oregano essential oil is fantastic for nail fungus, it clears it up so quickly. I used undiluted oil, just a few drops across all my nails every night for 2 weeks. It burnt a bit, so it's probably best to dilute it. After 2 weeks I stopped applying it, but the infection never came back.
@@katharina... Hello! can you tell me which oregano oil you use? I have bought one an essential one, but I dont think is doing anything with my nails, and I have more than 2 weeks. Thanks in advance.
@@wonderfullypositive-mensaj9456hi maybe I am too late in the discussion but just in case, I buy wild Mediterranean oregano oil, containing 80% carvacrol.
Itchy and irritated eyes, major fatigue, sleepiness, weight loss, stomach pain, lots of gas, head fog, headaches, and diarrhea. It's been over ten years and still have not found a cure 😕
@@MrStudo67 ok will do. I think it might be scurvy of the stomach that we have. I noticed along with your symptons i was having slow wound healing. And red dots on my skin. I blamed an antibiotic & milk. Im starting to wonder did they both drain my vit c levels. Anyway. This has been a 3 year journey of learning. No dairy/celery juice/lots of grapes/vitamin c overdose. Check out. Clive de carle. Linus pauling. Gillian berry. John rose. Also i have a playlist on my channel. Watch the dairy & gluten allergies. Currently on 30grams of vit c in 4days lol
@@MrStudo67 heyy. Vitamin c helps but nope. I ended up getting a worse uti. I found a book. Gospel of peace. It talks about fasting for 7 days and doing enemas over them 7 days. I went a got my first colonic. Plus im on 1 meal a day. Colonic helped me loadss. Ill prob get a few more as they reccomend 3 or 4. My bloating is gone and i can walk 5 miles again. Currently im on... really low carbs. No sugar no bread. High fat hemp seeds. Coconuts. But im doing this to get ready for my 7day fast. Try 1 meal a day and you will notice improvements. The stomach can renew in 5 days. But yeast can grow quicker than that. So if its growing inside us.. just cut all food for 7 days and it is meant to come out. If the fast doesnt work i think ill be on a high fat high protein diet as i cant eat any carbs or sugar bow without feeling the effects coming back. I think its undiagonised diabetes. Hope u are hanging in there dude
I was on a similar diet last year. I was doing intermittent fasting also. I felt so good and all the candida symptoms disappeared. But after 3 weeks the candida symptoms suddenly reappeared.. 10 times worse. How comes? I did not change anything in the diet.
I'm not an expert, as I've just found out I have SIBO, but it could be that even more of the stubborn bacteria has opened up in order to dispose? Did you have constipation or the diarrhea?
I noticed you mentioned grapefruit as being a good food to fight candida. I thought grapefruit has a good amount of sugar? My question is does the good out way the bad? I know grapefruit is a power house for out health but there is still sugar in this fruit.
I’m sure you’re a wonderful practitioner. It’s just every time I watch any of your videos I can’t do any of the remedies because my leaky gut has caused histamine intolerance and all the remedies that beat Candida are high in Histamine… 😑
@@Pookie501 OMG YES! That’s exactly what I’ve been doing for months on end now. I take 2 Benadryl every. Single. Night. It can’t be good to take forever, but in the meantime while I’m healing my body I guess I’ll have to keep taking it. I have recently discovered that my root canals in my mouth that are over 15 years old have been what’s driving systemic illness in my body and what is contributing to my leaky gut! I have since found a biological dentist who has already extracted one root canal so far, I have two more to go. This has caused so many debilitating health problems for the past three years and no Dr has helped me! I have been to my PCP numerous times, Numerous specialists, who just passed me off to the next one… 😒 I have done all my own research and in reading tons of articles I came across a documentary mentioned called, Root Cause. It came out in 2019 and Netflix had it up For 29 days until the American Dental Association harassed them, and they took it down! You can watch it for free on RU-vid, or a streaming channel like Tubi. It opened my eyes to just how important oral health is to the rest of your body.
Is this also relevant info for vaginal candida overgrowth? And does overgrowth in this area imply you have an overgrowth in the gut aswel? I am already following these dietary and lifestyle rules in general and I have no idea why I can’t seem to get rid of it. 😢
I’m using the one day otc yeast infection medication once a month and the 3 days med every other day, two weeks after the heavy duty one. My inflammation and abdominal pain have gone down. My belly is softer to the touch. I definitely feel better and I think the candida infection is going down. There’s no quick or miraculous recovery. Remember the yeast had years to colonize your body. Also use the jock itch spray to control the skin candida. I’m in my third month. 3 more to go.
@@katiefaith5381 I’ve already stoped using soap in that area for many years. Also tried some of the ‘traditional’ fixes. But still just not being able to get rid of the overgrowth. I know it’s nothing to do with hygiene, but still making me feel ickie 🥺
@@gradosa8272 it’s hopefully to see you got better after a long time of infection. People keep giving me ‘tips’ but I’ve already done all of them and more. Traditional, herbal, diary, lifestyle, …. My next step is now to maybe go see a functional/orthomolecular medical professional. Unfortunately those are quite expensive and not covered in my healthcare plan. I feel I don’t really have a choice because I’ve been having all of the side effects for a long time and they seem to be getting worse.
Thank you for these videos- as a functional nutrition counselor, I agree- the very restrictive candida diets don't work because compliance is so low. Thank you for your great videos!
What about goat or sheep dairy products? Are those the same as cow dairy products? They are easier to digest, but do they cause the same issues with candida? Is it just about the milk sugars, regardless?
Does raw honey worsen Candida? I like to make a tea made of ginger, lemon juice and raw honey. Also are sweet potatoes OK as opposed to white potatoes?
Learn to make saurkraut at home. It's the world's healthiest food by far. It's simple, buy a crock and let the cabbage sit for 1 month. It's literally that easy.
Maybe if you really like ice cream, switch to a non dairy type. You still get the same level of sugar but minus the dairy and she's advocating against the dairy too. The So Good brand is amazing, especially the salted caramel flavour.
Thank you so much. Some of what you talked about i've discovered intictively over time, but now after watching a few of your extremely informative logical videos and taking down notes... i fell empowered. I think this has been going on a very long time to some degree, but successive surgeries has really made thing worse, even a year still after the surgery. Now i have a grip of what is going on, and your videos have empowered me, I know I can beat this, and what you've said makes good good sense. thank you so very much doc.
I have been eating everything you mentioned, and I can testify from personal experience that you are 100% correct. My question for you is, what do you think about including radishes in the salad to help kill candida?
Yes I did the point is coconut oil had very bad effect on my Cholesterol Don't know what to eat for breakfast, I lost exactly 10lb till now and that is not good at all.
Ave my lips hurt and burn they crack and bleed, I never had this ever in my life. Why would it affect mostly the lower lip and inside mymouth I have a little bubble on the left and right side in my mouth.WHAT CAN THAT BE?
I'm overweight. I made sourkraut at home, when i eat it my weight drops slightly by the next day, 95% of the time. Why? Am I reversing pesticide with the sourkraut?
