I personally feel it’s some of both.
I have been able to eat WHOLE fruits without much issue when fighting candida, I personally just minimize how much fruit I’m taking in during those times.
But there is unquestionably something to the dietary fat intake as well.
That’s why I use the undecenoic acid on its own as an anti-candida supplement outside of any other food (I’ll take the supplement on an empty stomach and at least 20 minutes before any other food intake) in an attempt to have the candida feed upon it first and foremost, in an effort to weaken its cell wall and have my immune system tackle it from there.
It’s a great approach that I learned in part from Dr. McCombs. I have been able to have a more varied diet than the one he suggests based on a multi-faceted approach that I use (see tab above) but I still can see where people would get results from his specific protocol, and I support it. At the very least, it’s one heck of a healthy diet to take in, even though it may be a challenge for many people to master at first.
SO…people do argue about which is more important: Eliminating sugars, or eliminating dietary fats in the fight against candida.
I personally believe it should be both. Common sense in my opinion, and seems to work really well.
We NEED whole food sugars and healthy fats for a healthy body.
So instead, we can try to use only whole fruits (with some exceptions such as blueberries and oranges, sticking to the other berries and apples instead, I do some bananas as well on occasion) and reduce dietary fats to a minimum during this time, perhaps a clean fish oil, a little coconut oil (some people are sensitive to) and a little avocado as my choices.
