Not so Good!

Hi All

It's been a while since I posted and I have to admit that during this time, I have been rather bad. I had a number of special events and parties to attend and obvioulsy, you don't want to be a drip and spoil the other people's fun, because of your special dietary requirments, especially if they are paying!!

Needless to say, it was not a good thing. Initially it takes the stomach a while to adapt to the anti-candida style of eating and then when you go back to eating the old stuff, you suffer again. And I have been suffering!!

The question is, how does one go about this diet then? How do you tell your friends that you can't eat the food they have arranged for you, because of your anti-candida diet? The problem is that most people still think of Candidiases as a myth, rather than a real disease and I suppose it is becasue so many people use it as an excuse for other things. But if you have had a positive, scientific diagnosis, you know that you have the disease and how difficult it is to get rid of.

I suppose that one really has to start treating it like a the real disease it is and adapt your lifestyle accordingly. I mean if you have diabetes you will change your lifestyle, so why not for a disease that can have just as negative an effect on your health as diabetes.

Well, from today on I am committed to being back on my diet again. I have also now incorporated, plain, unsweetened yoghurt, but with real live probiotic cultures. To replace probiotics in tablet or capsule form, you will have to eat a whole lot, but it is good for you and makes for another alternative to introduce into your diet.

Keep it up and God Bless!!
