<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Listmates: I first sent this questions a couple of days ago and it hasn't shown up yet so decided to resend. Forgive me if you end up getting it twice. Thanks to the help I have received from all you guys my candida is improving. Now for a new problem. I have been a vegetarian for many (like 30) years and have been advised by my dr. that adding meat now with gut problems would be ill advised. So since I have eliminated all sugar (including all fruit), dairy, potatoes, tomatoes, yeast, all baked goods, nuts, nut butters, etc. to get rid of the candida I am down to vegetables, rice and water. I am losing weight daily and am getting almost back to where I started with celiac weight wise. Less than 100 pounds and I am 5 foot 7 inches. Can anyone give me suggestions to how to help my weight? I checked all the supplements that I have used in the past but they are loaded with sugar. Can I use some sugar on the candida diet? If so how much? I am taking only the label recommended amount of acidophilus (which is 2 billion once a day) as my dr. said and also this is what my "Prescription For Nutritional Healing" says. Others on this list have recommended a lot more. Can you od on acidophilus? If I take more acidophilus can I then use a supplement with some sugar in it? Thanks for your help. Olivia in VA
