Not much choice in a field that's controversial by L. Blumenthal (Chicago, IL USA)  2 Stars
June 14, 2009
This is one of the many books I've consulted about candida, and every single expert disagrees with the other. Some say you can't have whole wheat, others say it's okay. Some say mushrooms are taboo, others say you can have them in moderation. The only thing anyone can agree on is no sugar. I found this book unnecessarily restrictive. When I consulted my doctor in frustration, she handed me a candida diet that allowed many more foods than this book would have deemed okay.
Also, I don't know why natural sweeteners like stevia weren't included in this book. Stevia has made my life much easier--and it actually battles candida also.
I'd advise against this book unless you like feeling reined in. Having to eat like this is just going to encourage cheating, and what good is that?

I've had this book for 20 years and while I no longer have Candida and haven't for years, I still use the recipes in this book because they are simple, tasty and healthy.

The relief of simplicity by Jenna Elfman (Hollywood, CA USA)  4 Stars
December 30, 2004
This book is uncomplicated, straight-forward and doesn't sway from it's belief system through contradictions.
The receipes are created with regular foods found in your grocery store and carbs are counted per serving for each receipe. Not a low/no carbohydrate concept, but more of a balanced body chemistry alternative... such as fruit can unbalance your bodies chemistry, and should only be consumed as an occasional treat. Takes the cave-man diet to a new, healthful, fresh and appetizing level while eliminating mold, sugar, additives and suggesting the moderate use of certain food that can upset the natural body chemistry.
Overall, it's a great feel-good type of book. Just like my new beverage of choice called s o y f e e. It's made from soybeans that you brew just like coffee. Caffeine-free, you'll find it at www. S oycoffee.com.
An excellent book to have on hand for reference as well as quick healthful receipes.

It Changed My Life--literally by J. Hill 5 Stars
September 07, 2004
I reached a point in my life where I was constantly ill. I had never-ending digestive problems, including loud, involuntary stomach rumbling (while in my college classes, how embarrassing), gas, sick stomach, and plenty of fatigue. I was a bit fat and depressed. Fortunately, I found this book. I won't say it cured every single thing in my life--there is no "easy cure-all." But it made such a difference.
The book has you eat a wide range of vegetables, some meat/protein, and drink only water. I ate nuts and yeast-free crackers, too. It sounds like a crazy change, and I admit I had a hard time with it. I wasn't always perfect, either. Sometimes I would get depressed because I couldn't eat all the donuts, fruit, dairy, and pasta that I loved. But what a difference in my health! That deprivation was so hard but 110% worth it. I lost weight and that was great, but I also had energy, my horrible, uncontrollable health problems went away, and I was happy again. What price can you put on just being happy and appreciating your appearance and having the energy to do what you want to do?
Also on the positive side, I discovered new vegetables that I really enjoy and a whole new way of eating. Also, I want to point out that it was hard to eat this way because I wasn't used to eating all these fresh vegetables instead of my processed, man-made foods and sugars, but the food was actually very good, colorful, varying in taste and texture, and creative. I learned what it was like to feel light and energized after dinner instead of too "full" and weighted down and tired. And I did go through the expected withdrawal period for 3-7 days at first (while my body was cleaning out yet still craving the toxins), but after that I felt better.
I won't say I was perfect after doing my cleansing eating period. I still love Chinese food, for example. But I know now how to take care of myself, and I wanted to make sure to share my experience. Anything worth having requires sacrifice, but let me tell you, this is worth it!! It's the real deal.

The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook, Updated Second Edi by Cassandra Barnes (California) 5 Stars
October 13, 2002
A yeast infection can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, digestive difficulties, food allergies, joint pain, fatigue, and depression. Candida albicans, the medical name for culprit in most yeast infections, lives in everyone. A number of factors, usually related to lifestyle and eating habits, can allow it to multiply out of control, creating serious problems for its human host. Although a medical professional can diagnose a yeast infection, it's usually up to the individual to get his/her body back into balance. The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook, Updated Second Edition, by nutritionist Pat Connolly, provides all the information individuals need to restore themselves to good health. Although it says "yeast-free" in the title, that doesn't mean that the recipes are prepared without yeast. Unfortunately it's not that simple. Yeast thrive on sugar, and the recipes are designed to eliminate sugar from diets, making the individual "yeast-free." The basis of a sugar-free diet is the "Rainbow Meal Plan," developed by a team of doctors. The Rainbow Meal Plan is very simple: each meal "includes small portions of seven food groups: complete protein; grain or legume; root vegetable; yellow or white vegetable; green vegetable; red, orange, or purple vegetable; and leafy green vegetable." The portions are all the same size. Individuals may eat as many meals a day as they like, but each meal must contain equal-sized portions of each of the seven food groups. Connolly provides some sample menus to help people get started on the plan. He has also provided a selection of recipes for a "Modified Food Plan" for those who are unable to use the Rainbow Plan. Most of the recipes are very simple and use easy-to-find ingredients. He also includes tips on eating out, good nutrition, hidden sugars, and foods to avoid under all circumstances. A comprehensive questionnaire at the beginning of the book will help those who suspect they may have a yeast overgrowth. The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook offers hope and practical help to all those suffering from yeast infections.
