New Diet, less pain ... maybe
So, I am so sad and so confused about what to start eating tomorrow when my 3 day cleanse is "over." Basically I am in just as much pain as I was for the few years before the cleanse. And then tonight when I was telling Tim about my new diet, I realized the new diet is exactly what I was eating when I starting having stomach pain to begin with. That diet was mostly grains, legumes, brown rice, normal amounts of dairy and green veggies. I was so sick all the time, but I did lose a lot of weight. But the goal is not have a pain, so it seems crazy to do the same thing as before.
So basically I would like to start a vegan diet, but if my problem is actually Candida, then a should try the Candida diet. The diets are basically opposite, which is so sad.
For now I plan to start solid foods in phases with a slightly liberal Candida Diet:
Phase 1 -- veggies (mostly cooked), salad, sweet potatoes fries (just because I like them), carrots and avocado, hummus with celery, veggie broth
Phase 2 -- Rice, slop (beans, tomatoes, rice, green peppers), nuts and seeds, yogurt, veggie and beans curries.
Phase 3 -- Eggs, a little honey, organic chicken, more beans, apples, veggie egg rolls, marinara sauce on rice, gnocchi or pasta (small amounts), lemon, lots of apple cider vinegar for flavor.
NO: No bread, no milk, no cheese. no fruit, no salt, no peanuts, no "lots of other things like sugar and catchup
Avoid: starchy veggies .... so sad. Not sure if I can
On top of this I will be taking some serious probiotics and eventually find something that kills the yeast.

The herb Pa'De Arco is great for fighting candida and yeast infections. It is made from the bark of trees in the amazon that have to withstand fungus and mold in such a tropical climate. Since yeast essentially is a fungus, taking Pa'De Arco was a HUGE help for me fighting my candida problem I had a little over a year ago. I did the whole candida diet and would love to talk to you if you have questions.
