Evening all,
I’m reluctantly considering an anti Candida diet after nearly 3 years of recurrent thrush and other symptoms that all correlate with Candida descriptions. I really really don’t want to but I’m clearly not solving it with canesten and I need to solve it somehow.
Is there any actual evidence that candida diets work? How would I survive given that I’m vegetarian (since birth so not going to change that) and can’t digest eggs? What can I eat? Nuts and greens? I have a tendency to be underweight so I’m wary of losing weight.
I have seen my GP already. Beyond fluconazole and antibiotics I’m not being offered any more advice or any insight into what might be causing this. I suspect the copper iud is a factor but I’m also really reluctant to get that taken out as other contraceptives don’t suit me. I haven’t taken the antibiotics which were offered for a skin conditional afraid they’ll bring the thrush back.
Being 40 is no fun!
