I, Nikki, am Blogging my crazy thoughts and cravings during my on-going Candida Cleanse, in a step by step journal titled The Candida Chronicles, so I can share with you the The Dietary Rules, the Meal Plans and Recipes, the Tips and Facts, and most importantly, the Results. If I can lick this problem, letting ‘Food be my Medicine’ and only using Herbals then you can too! Take the preliminary Candida Quiz to see what Candida is,and if you have the Symptoms of this nasty Yeast condition affecting both women, and men.
Sour the milk-improve the odds.
That’s my way of saying change the environment in your intestines so that it isn’t so nice and cozy for the Candida to grow in. Many people with Candidiasis have a tough time producing Hydrochloric Acid in their gut which really is about breaking down the food properly. For the most part chewing your food long enough allows saliva to stimulate the majority of acid in your stomach which will tackle the first part of digesting the meal.
However a way to finish off digestion can be done by taking a supplement tablet in the form of hydrochloric acid. Digestive Enzymes are another great way of dealing with undigested food. The name of the game here is not to leave behind any undigested bits for the Candida to nosh on. This is not a beloved family pet. We don’t want to feed it.
One last little aggravation for Candida is to include enough Fibre in your diet. This can be in the form of supplements or food stuff. The aim here is to create a rapid exit for your waste matter through the digestive tract and out the ‘poop shoot’. No line ups or waiting around. The fibre’s job is to absorb and carry off any toxins (alive or dead) produced by the Candida quickly and efficiently thus ‘Souring the Milk’.

Game On! Candida…you and I are going a couple rounds. I’ve been a physical and emotional train wreck for awhile now and it’s time I took back control of my health. Join me, Nikki, as I journal my way through the chaos that is Candida, in my Blog of crazy thoughts and cravings during my on-going Cleanse, in a step by step journal titled ‘The Candida Chronicles‘ (Below). Did you know that 75 % of Canadian and American women are affected by it at some point in their life? Men can experience Candida as well. Maybe you’re sitting on a bad Yeast condition right now and didn’t know it. Take our preliminary Candida Quiz to see what Candida is, and if the symptoms sound all too familiar.
