I should add that I drank no coffee or anything else, but fresh squeezed lemonade with stevia (it's very alkalizing).
I had one short set back in that 4 months when I drank decaf coffee for two days.
Lemons and stevia are part of the Body Ecology Diet.

I believe you. Your protocol, including the diet and probiotics, is consistent with my view of how to treat Candida. Well done! We don't hear too many success stories here. People who recover feel no urge to continue posting. Thank you for bothering. I will order a copy of this diet book today. Did you take prebiotics such as Inulin and Lactoferrin as well? Any particular tips on cultured vegies/kefir?
I hope you don't mind, but I checked a few of your old posts. I take it the H2O2 (Hydrogen-Peroxid) and Beck's Protocol didn't pan out?
Correct, the H202 was NOT getting me anywhere in the end. It would clear up the brain fog for a couple days, but then it would come back even worse. I kept using it hoping for that first two days of mild relief, but it just made everything much worse. The body must reestablish it's pro-biotic and gut balance, and H20H will never accomplish this.
The Body Ecology Diet recomends as many cultured foods as you can use (working up slowly on the dairy such as kefir). For ME, it turns out MY body can't process any lactose whether it's cultured or not and it ended up fermenting IN my digestive tract promoting candida. The main crux of the diet shows you how to prevent fermentation IN the gut - as that is a main trigger for candida growth. Foods fermentated outside of the gut are great, inside the gut a BIG no no. So food combining is very important, mainly seperating proteins, from oils and carbs. This process really get's the gut ecology back into balance. You also learn to pay attention to which foods your body just can't process.
The Body Ecology Diet recomends avoiding corn for many people, but it turns out I do fine on corn (I'm a blood type 0). I did study and use a bit of Peter Adamo's book as well, but that was all secondary really as far as candida goes.
Stevia is the only real prebiotic I used, and then all the raw leafy greens especially chicory helped to feed the pro-biotics. This is why it's actually a little important to get back on a wise amount of healthy carbs as soon as one can since they are needed for pro-biotics to live on. I didn't need the over the counter PRE-biotics myself. The only supplements other than food I have been using is the caprilic acid and Florgan3. This program has also saved me ALLOT of money. :-)
I should mention that, by cure I mean exhibiting NO further symptoms. I am still vulnerable, and have to maintain at this point or I can sense symptoms returning. One day I hope to be completely out of the woods, but this program is healing to be sure.

That would be the autonomic Nervous system.
I just read your warning in one of your earlier posts about Splenda, and you'e dead right. I found this PubMed Abstract about it. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18800291?dopt=Abstract
I drink several cups of decaf coffee every day with two tabs of Splenda. Obviously the Splenda will have to go. I tried Stevia in coffee once and didn't like it. You also think decaf coffee is a problem don't you. Why? Is it the sulfur? Perhaps I should switch to decaf tea.

Congrats on feeling good!!
Could you do a short summary of your symptons that have gotten better? Besides major tummy problem I have major reactive hypoglycemia and mega insomnia and think I can be helped but eating the right foods instead of all the food combining I have been doing.Not to mention my mood swings but hej they seem to go hand in hand. Where you ever able to take any form of omega 3?
...did you have a white-coated tongue? Whats it like now???

I just bought several boxes of Anti Aged Garlic in pill form. Now this will kill all the probiotics i spent a fortune on replacing.
It seems everything thing i try has its good points but ruins something else.
I have never heard that antifungals kill probiotics, is this true ?

Always good to hear a success story, especially after trying for so long. Sound like you found the right combination and formula.
