The Candida Diet

I have started my journey on the Candida Diet. If you have ever suffered from chronic yeast infections or are feeling fatigued and just not yourself, this may just help you out.
Since my son was a week old I have had a yeast infection on my breast....it isn't pleasant to feed him or pump. I have taken a month of Rx meds. with no result of it getting any better.
I am following the http://www.wholeapproach.com/ diet. Go here to take the assessment questionnaire to see if you might have a candida overgrowth. It effects most of the American population and many don't even know it.

I will be trying to post any new recipes I come up with while on this diet. I have a "severe" case and will be on the diet for at least 7 months. :( Good news is that I should be feeling like a totally different person once I am finished.

We are in the process of taking out all processed food from our home. And I plan on only making "sweet treats" occasionally instead of it being part of our regular diet. There are going to be a lot of changes in our household this year.

Bless your heart at having to go through that again!

I'm interested to see some menu plans once you find some recipes you like.
