Living Candida-Free

by Ricki Heller, Andrea Nakayama

Candida is a type of yeast that grows in the human body. An overgrowth of candida has been found to be at the root of many health problems, from chronic fatigue and digestive disorders to skin conditions and allergies. Some health professionals are calling it a hidden epidemic. One of the main instigators of candida overgrowth is sugar, of which the average American consumes more than seventy pounds per year.

In Living Candida-Free, Ricki Heller (with functional nutritionist Andrea Nakayama) offers a complete exploration of this condition and an expansive approach for anyone wishing to follow an anti-candida diet. A comprehensive guidebook for living a life free of refined sugar, it includes a three-stage program; tips on how to transition to eating the anti-candida way with ease; information on herbal supplements and treatments; a full list of substitutions; and delicious, satisfying recipes that anyone can prepare.

Great information. Some great recipes. This book was easy to read and was written in a such a way that spelled out why and how this lifestyle change works if you are afflicted with Candida.

Super-creative recipes, incredibly informative, and takes you step-by-step through what can be a confusing diet. After taking the quiz I realize I actually probably have some issues with this and am going to try the diet for a while.

I've tried other recipes by this author and they are amazing, so I'm confident these will be too.

While all the recipes are vegan, this is not just a book for vegans. She clearly states what kinds of animal products you can eat on the plan.
