Candida yest syndrome

Has anyone been told they have a candida yeast infection in their body? My daughters doctor sent us to a nutrition doc because she is having most of the symptoms of this candida yest syndrome. She put her on this diet to kill off the yeast. But this diet is next to impossible to be on. She has to eliminate all sugar of all kinds, no dairy, or wheat. Basically she can only eat meat and some veggies. The bad thing is that she has never liked veggies. It has been a battle since birth. She has been trying to eat them and drink the rice milk but just gags. So basically for the past 4 days she has barely eaten anything! That can't be good either. My friends keep saying "oh she will eat the veggies if she gets hungry enough" But she isn't two years old she is 17. I found on the internet a natural supplement that claims to kill off the yeast without the diet. I am tempted. I know if I asked the doc she would say "stick to the diet" Not sure what to do. Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone for your advice. I am taking it all in and checking out all the websites. I appreciate all your help. The more I read about this candida problem the more I wonder why more doctors don't recognize this as a problem. My daughter has suffered since she was 10 and we have spend thousands of dollars going to many doctors all for nothing. It all makes sense though. How she "craves" sugar and all. It is a struggle but we won't give up. Thanks again all!

I was in the same situation, the Doctors just wouldn't listen and had no idea what was wrong with me. I finally made some progress when I started doing my own research and sought the advice of a Naturopathic physician. Even if I don't have a candida overgrowth it's still a GREAT base diet for figuring out all my food allergies and intolerances. It's not easy, but if you put in the effort and take advantage of all the great ideas & recipes at WholeApproach then I'm sure you can find tons of things for your daughter to eat.
Best of luck! :-)

It is very important to take Probiotics while on the Candida diet and also whenever we're on antibiotics. I buy Probiotics from Vitacost.com I've been buying all my supplements from them for almost 2 years. The best time to take Probiotics is between meals so the stomack can absorb it better. If Probiotics or Acidophilus is not taken the Candida problem won't go away.
