Comments on: Candidiasis and pH http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/candidiasis-and-ph/ No hype, straight forward, down to earth, honest talk about holistic health, natural health and green living to improve or protect your mental and physical health.

It is a very complex condition that involves many variables. Diet and antifungals are the two most important, however all the other issues must be addressed as well. A raw vegan diet is never the answer for anyone with a Candida problem because it is too high in complex carbohydrates. Some of you may want to read this page on the vegetarian diet issue http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/candida-diet-and-vegetarians/ Coconut oil is an effective antifungal for some people, but not others. It depends on the strain of Candida, how severe overgrowth is and whether their strain is resistant. Like all antifungals, Candida will get resistant to coconut oil over time, if it is not alternated. Anyone with a gallbladder problem should avoid coconut oil, as the high fat content often leads to gallbladder attacks. I can't eat coconut oil, because I have a very temperamental gallbladder and it gave me a severe gallbladder attack so bad it put me in bed with extreme pain and nausea. As I shared recently in my post on the eat right for your blood type diet, I didn't find that approach to healing to be an effective and reliable tool at all. http://www.holistichelp.net/blog/should-you-eat-right-for-your-type/ The bottom line is that different things work for different people. I also want to add, that if one partner in a relationship has Candida, usually both partners have it, as it is transmitted through sexual intercourse. They pass it back and forth between them.

I can’t eat coconut oil, because I have a very temperamental gallbladder and it gave me a severe gallbladder attack so bad it put me in bed with extreme pain and nausea.

The bottom line is that different things work for different people.

It may have actually exacerbated my situation. In my case I have found that good quality coconut oil has helped control but certainly not cure. Currently I am using the Mediterranean diet which is a combination of raw and cooked food and suits me. My experience confirms that one cure doesn't fit all as I am A negative and my wife O blood types which may be a starting point for someone on the journey. She loves beef but I don't like beef and I have Candida and she doesn't. It may even be blood type related but doubt that the answer is that simple.
