Hi Shawn,

I will try to answer some of your questions. This disease affects us all a little differently so I never experienced some of your symptoms. It's a combination of using the topical things safely on your skin and healing from the inside by eating the protocol friendly foods and taking the supplements.
I happen to like guacamole so I make it with a couple of avocados, some lemon or lime, red onion, tomato,cumin and cayenne, and add this to lots of things like omelettes and salads. I also use it with Beanitos chips, which are GMO free, made from various beans.

As many have said before, the foods to eat are all on this site, but mostly avoiding acid forming foods, keeping an alkaline diet, and avoiding sugars, wheat and dairy helped me. Like Justin has said, it helps to monitor how you feel when you take foods out of your diet and monitor how you feel if and when you add them back. I avoided yogurt because it was dairy but many people tolerate it.

Coconut oil can be used in cooking, and you can get it organic in almost any grocery store. Once you find the foods you need, grocery shopping is so much easier. I buy lemon juice with nothing added in the frozen food isle and it is so much cheaper. I add this to my water and tea every day. Try to make foods you like and it will be easier to stick with this plan. If people don't normally cook, there will be a steep learning curve, but in the long run you will be building your health. It would be great if there were short cuts to this, but the time you spend on reading on this site will pay off for you.

In terms of your belongings, if you can purchase some Kleen Green and put into spray bottles, you can spray this on pretty much everything. As you clean your belongings, you can put things into plastic bags. I threw out a lot! Whether I actually needed to do this or not, I'm not sure, but now I have a lot less to clean and I feel safer.

As far as treating my skin, I washed with Dr. Bonner's soap and used coconut oil on my face. After I showered, I used different things, such as vaseline or mineral oil mixed with tea tree oil, or lavender oil or eucalyptus.
There is a lot of good information on what others used on this site and if you use the search engine, it will help.
Stay strong, Shawn, you will get better!

Thanks Derek and Nicole,

I meant to say "wheat" instead of gluten - which is why I don't post much - for fear of writing something incorrect. I should probably stay away from the rice bread. Wrap sandwiches with non-wheat tortillas may be a better alternative.

My counselor told me no dairy, although the food list under "articles and diet" said non-fat yogurt was under suggested foods. I think everyone custom tailors this according to their own bodies. I definitely can feel either positive or negative results right away.

Someone who got well in less than a year ate Ezekial flourless bread because it is made from sprouted grains including wheat, whereas I tried it and my body screamed "Candida's coming!"

Shawn, I realize being in the UK you might miss eating Bangers and Mash-I also miss my potatoes :( I have started exploring with Indian and Middle Eastern foods since they have a lot of non-wheat grains,legumes and vegetable dishes.

I am happy to say after 3 months, I barely have any symptoms and my energy level is almost normal, and I was in pretty bad shape when I started. No more heart palpitations or sleepless nights :)

Wishing you all the best in 2014!
Sue

Hi to all of you and hope you had a lovely christmas,

Firstly i thank you all for your responses, Eleanor who has contacted me on the telephone has been a huge support and given me some very good advice, i have not eaten bread, yeast etc, i have been on organic meats, organic eggs, omelettes with organic tomatoes, the avocados i have purchased around 80% have been awful inside, what is the best way to incorporate an avocado, say with lemon ?? i have plenty of almonds, has anyone looked up the xylitol 72% dark chocolate, it is dairy free, gluten free, wheat free, and just made with xylitol, in orange, mint and plain flavours, Nicole is your or the anti candida diet ongoing? i am coming up to my second month and waiting for the AtoZ products to arrive, my second month of the protocol officially on the 1/1/14, i will carry on with the current protocol until the second lot arrive, another query i have, yesterday, today for some very strange reason my eye on the upper lid is exceptionally itchy and becoming slightly red and inflamed, any suggestions for relief or to eliminate this, I am moving within the next couple of months due to the current rental coming to an end and this very large cottage (400yrs old) was stripped bear, walls back to the original stone, floor boards up etc. i am sure it has started from there and disturbed something as very strange things as we all know, what would you recommend in the planning stages to move my belongings, (treat them with something) i really or prey my symptoms do get better even from just moving out of here, it may help i hope!! with regard to the whey protein i have messaged logos in regard to this query and would it be safe to do so, Any other suggestions for foods i would be grateful, i think butter , yoghurt would be too soon to introduce at such an early stage, i love them both, yoghurt would help me feel full, i do realise everyone is different, but it does get to the point where i am actually too frightened to try something new in case it knocks me back, what do most treat their bodies with externally as there are so many, it seemed they got used to the tea tree and it had no effect for me, mustard lotion,(homemade seems ok but i do not use it on the face) so face remedies day and night would be appreciated please. I TRULY TRULY WISH EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU A VERY HEALTHY 2014. GOD BLESS.
SHAWN
