3 REASONS TO ❌AVOID❌ THIS DIET . Though I'm not shy about why I loathe most #eliminationdiet, this one is one of the most pointless . I'm not saying that u should eat loads of sugar + refined carbs if you have #candidaovergrowth, but the truth is that the #candidadiet is a 🩹 . It doesn't effectively reduce #candidaalbicans + other forms of excess fungus in ur body . Symptoms may improve while doing it BUT they'll often return soon after trying to reintroduce even healthy forms of starches+ natural sugars . That's called a vicious cycle, my friends! . Plus, it's sooooo impractical, can make u hate eating + like other elimination diets, it can result in nutrient deficiencies . It's highly contradicted if u have an eating disorder history or have struggled with restricted eating patterns . Lastly, it doesn't address WHY u have too much #candida in the first place . U cannot diet ur way out of a previous or current mold exposure, low gut commensal bacteria, or a history of using antibiotics, steroids or certain biologics (like IL-17 inhibitors + TNF-a blockers) . If ur practitioner isn't offering anything beyond diet or keeps taking out more foods to "starve the yeast", there are other ways (I've got a PART 2 coming on this!) . So what have u heard or tried when it comes to beating candida? . Did u know that u can actually beat candida without making huge diet changes? #candidadiet #candida #gut
