Wholefoods is good but check out your local butcher/fish monger! They usually have the best cuts/freshest produce, and you’re supporting small businesses who specialise in quality food.
I went to my GP for chronic thrush, she said the candida diet doesn't actually work. For anyone reading this, please make sure you actually go to a trusted GP to be tested for thrush if it is a reoccurring problem. I have recently been going through the same issues with chronic thrush, I get it, its awful - but I have now finally gone to my GP and there is a suppressant tablet you can take for a 6 month period if the regular over the counter creams are not working. It's called Fluconazole Sandoz - speak to a GP in the first instance before going on a restrictive diet like the candida diet.
Can confirm this is the way to go! I go to a GP who specialises in thrush and she was saying for some people it’s a chronic autoimmune issue, and fluconazole is the answer. I’ve been taking fluconazole for over 3 years now and I can safely say my thrush symptoms are manageable.
I've also dealt with chronic thrush however after months of using the medicated cream (niastatin) it only helped relieve my symptoms to an extent. It wasn't until I reduced my stress load and improved my diet that it finally went away. I've had GP's tell me the same thing in regards to diet and thrush but maybe they aren't up to date on the current research? About to graduate with a Bachelor of Nutrition Science, I've learned that thrush can be related to a myriad of factors including high blood sugar, a weakened immune system, the microbiome and the use of certain birth control methods. When I saw a gynecologist the only additional info she had for me on top of what the GP recommended was to eliminate refined sugar foods from my diet as much as possible. Although medications are highly necessary and important we need to be treating the root cause of issues as well when we can.
Cartia I’ve been following you for years! Three weeks ago I started the candida diet and now you are doing it too, what a coincidence. Hope it works for you, good luck. Love your content!!
i started the candida diet recently after reading up more on it - it’s been a game changer. i’m only 1 week in this week, but hearing your progress is motivating! ❤
I like hearing about the nutrition side of things, interested to see how it all goes for u 😊 also ur vlogs are the only ones I watch. U have such good content/thoughtful and artsy
🤍 what sweetener do you like for matcha / Candida diet? Could you share any books, websites or resources you used for the diet, supplements especially recipes. Much love 💕
Is your mom living in London too? I cant imagine how hard it must be from living in beautiful sunny Aus to grey and busy hustle in London. I used to live in Byron aswell. Magical place 😊☀️
But why are you so bothered about it? Should she just not speak about things because someone else might be offended she’s privileged? I’m sure she’s more than aware and you don’t have to watch.
