Follow Food Combining Strictly
The most important thing about the candida cleanse diet is to follow
food combining as strictly as possible.
Food combining allows your digestion to improve, and very quickly
reduce the ability of yeast in your intestines to feed on anything you eat.
The results of food combining will be evident after 3-6 weeks. The longer
you practice food combining, the better for your liver and your gut. The yeast
will dry up.

It’s usually a good idea to remove the skin on poultry because you may be
unable to digest the fat due to a weak gallbladder.
Berries are often very beneficial for people who have candida, and if they
can be put in pure yogurt you may be able to tolerate the sugar. The berries
provide energy to different organs. Blueberries may be the best for Candida
because most people have weak kidneys causing chronic candida.
Some foods may be too cooling for you, such as citrus, mangoes, guava, papaya,
as they may not be grown locally.

modern furniture not made from real wood), like desks and cabinets

(if your bowel movement is late in the morning you need help)

Other Considerations on a Candida Cleanse
It’s important to find out your blood type diet while you are on a cleanse.
Your blood type can tell you which foods may be good for you on a long-term
basis.
Some people who think they have candidiasis actually have a deficient spleen-pancreas
(term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine).
Long-term candida sufferers will have weakened their immune system and have
to be extremely cautious of being exposed to certain chemicals.
Avoid hair dyes, nail polish, and other chemical exposure. The exposure could
weaken you immune system and cause your candida to stick around even longer.
Tip on How To Eat Yogurt
In the winter time, or in general when it is cold, it may be useful for you
to add a warming herb such as cinnamon or tumeric to your yogurt. A small amount
would help keep your digestion warm.
Take Acidophilus
High potency milk based products if you can tolerate them are best. For best
results take them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and wait 30-60
minutes. Drink plenty of water. Drink only spring water.
Attention To Changes In Mood, Energy
Pay attention to the changes in mood, and energy, and regular bowel movements
as the season changes, and after you are in the the new season. These returning
symptoms could indicate your weakest organ.
Indications of Poor or Weakened Digestion
Look for food in your stool that is undigested, or partially undigested with
the naked eye. After you eat leafy greens, you may see them in your stool.
