RECIPES AND OTHER FOOD IDEAS:
*in regards to sweeteners, xylitol actually helps to kill candida….so use that…but not in excess.
Note: Remember to limit carbs to 150 grams a day.
BREAKFAST IDEAS:
OMELETS: These are things you can put in your omelet: onions, peppers, ham, bacon, Canadian bacon, spinach, broccoli, tomatoes, avocado, salami, parsley, chives, smoked salmon, caviar, shrimps, garlic or garlic powder, onion powder, salsa, zucchini, asparagus.
HOT CEREALS: Millet, Quinoa. (you can grate granny smith apples into it with cinnamon). You can put sugar free coconut milk on it or coconut cream or butter or whipped cream instead of milk. Sprinkle a little xylitol for sweetness. I also like these cereals cold.
Pancakes: Make with Buckwheat Flour (strawberries and blueberries are low glycemic and can go on top of the pancake….don’t buy buckwheat pancake mix though because it generally has other flours in it….make them with pure buckwheat flour and other flours you are allowed, eggs and baking powder to get them to rise). You can grate granny smith apples into the pancake mix and some berries…..be inventive. You can put homemade whipping cream with xylitol instead of sugar and a few berries mentioned above on them. Just find out how many carbs are in each pancake and don’t go over your limit for the day.
Yeast free, sugar free, gluten free, wheat free bread toasted with poached eggs and butter on the toast. (or fried or scrambled eggs) Ultra balance protein drink (you can buy that from us).

(my parents are English and call these “open faced sandwiches”), also you can roll sandwich ingredients in a lettuce leaf to hold it all together and then eat it. You can use a mayonnaise called “vegenaise”.
Soups with things like this in it: leeks, chicken, yams, zucchini, garlic, onions, celery, peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, beef bones, lamb, and fish. You can make the soup a pureed creamed soup by adding unsweetened whipping cream to it.
DINNER IDEAS:

You could have baked salmon. You could have a roast turkey with mashed Cauliflower and Zucchini and Squash and Asparagus for a Sunday night dinner and have strawberries with unsweetened whipped cream for dessert. Everyone in the family would love it too! You can cut up loads of veggies and roast them with olive oil, garlic and spices. You can get a slow cooker (crock pot) and load chicken thighs, yams, garlic and chicken broth and spices and have a wonderful dinner for the whole family served with a beautiful salad. Short Ribs in a crock pot with beef broth and onions, garlic, salt and pepper is a wonderful meal.

WOW THAT MADE ME WANT TO GO AND EAT SOMETHING!!….back in a flash.
I have recently received quite a few people calling me who are not sure if they have Candida and so I am going to give you the link to Michael Biamonte’s Article entitled “CANDIDA SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS” where he lists 75 symptoms of candida. See which ones you have.
Here is a patient success story from doing the Biamonte Candida Elimination Program. They have the same initials as me (KW)!!
Here’s my story – it’s a little long, but truly heartfelt. Two years ago I moved home to die. I was 30 years old, with two masters degrees and a decade of living independently behind me, and I remember thinking, “I am going home to die; I can’t live like this anymore”. For years I had tried to ignore the migraines, muscle achiness/pain, weight fluctuation, energy depletion, mood problems, and progressive allergies/asthma. Then I had a car accident and things couldn’t be ignored anymore. My health issues seemed to snowball at that point. A parade of doctors threw the latest and greatest meds at me and created a sparkling list of diagnoses for me including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and lupus. After the meds failed one by one (or made things worse), the diagnoses lost their meaning. I started looking to alternative medicine as a last option. I tried many different supplements with minimal results. The more I read, the more I realized I needed to find someone who could help me put it all together, rather than try to ‘hit and miss’ by myself. I was convinced that I fit into the ‘candida’ category, but couldn’t figure out the best approach. I have a medical background and it didn’t make sense to me to go on a diet for the rest of my life and assume, simply by symptoms, that things were under control. I was intrigued by Dr. B’s program because of it’s thorough clinical perspective. It’s now been a year and 3 months since I began the program. It’s hard to sum up the positive changes I’ve experienced so far – rare headaches, improved muscles, restful sleep, minimal allergies, blossoming energy, 75 pounds lost, motivation to pursue life again. No longer do I feel that my life is over, but it’s a new start. While the program itself has been intense and challenging – how can that be compared to finding ‘me’ again?! As I write this I have a hard time actually believing that it’s my true story and not a ‘drama queen’ account – it’s incredible that I’m emerging on the other side of that story and don’t have to constantly dread its’ return. God gave me an amazing gift in allowing me to find Dr. B and his program. How do you say ‘thank you’ for your life? kw
