I'm ready to start my candida diet. Today I went to the health food store and got my supplements and the rest of my food supplies. For my antifungals, I decided to go with a blend called Candigone, I also bought probiotics and will be taking chromium to help control my cravings. Chromium gives me a really dry mouth so I'm going just start with the Candigone for the first few days to see how I react to it. I also bought coconut oil, coconut aminos, braggs, red and green thai curry paste, tomatoes with no citric acid, hemp seeds, buckwheat porridge, millet cereal, buckwheat flour, coconut flour, brown basmati rice, adzuki beans and psyllium husks. Tomorrow is the big day. I'll weigh myself in the morning and hopefully post what I eat and how I feel each day.
Tonight, I tried cauliflower and leek soup. I didn't have my own stock made but otherwise it would be totally candida friendly. The kids liked it too. I also tried cooking with coconut oil for the first time. I cooked smelts coated in buckwheat flour. The whole house is really smoky and we're having trouble breathing. It probably wasn't the best thing to try for my first time using coconut oil. I'm going to have to research coconut oil a bit, I found it really heavy, but it doesn't have coconut flavour at all. I feel really nauseous from the coconut oil.
Cauliflower leek soup
2 cloves garlic
1 or 2 leeks, sliced and cleaned
1 Tbsp. butter
1 medium head of cauliflower
chicken broth, enough to cover
Sauté garlic and leeks in butter. Add cauliflower and enough broth to cover. Simmer until the cauliflower is soft. Purée with handmixer and season with salt and pepper.
