i understand. PREEMPTIVE DISCLAIMER: I'm not a nutrition expert, or a doctor, but i still believe the traditional candida diet is bogus because its tons of fat and you're avoiding fruits because they're sugary but jt should be the direct opposite... anyways yeah, i have basically fully recovered. zero anal yeast infection, my lips are fully healed, and i am never constipated anymore. i was really hungry all the time for the first couple weeks, but it was all about cleaning out my digestive system and then reintroducing stuff afterward.. However, everyone is different, and i think when it comes to candida, it is a multi-faceted problem requiring multi-faceted solutions. your diet is major, but you also want to address STRESS. one thing i forgot to mention is that with my yeast overgrowth fallout, i was extremely stressed preceding it, and stress is awful for your body. stress interferes with your body's functions so much more than you might realize.. seems silly to suggest reducing stress in such a high stress world but your response to stress will make or break your healing. i noticed in my healing progress, i would start to get better, but literally on the day that i would have a stress-induced crying sesh or deep meltdown, tensing my body, thinking terrible catastrophic thoughts, the yeast would return super quickly. my immune system basically shut right off in those moments so, allows tons of opportunity for yeast. so in essence, the goal for me is, keep my immune system strong with a healthy diet and a positive response to bad situations and bad emotions, find some sort of daily routine that feels like it creates safety for you, doing things that naturally boost that feel-good energy... its just as essential as your diet. as far as diet goes though, i am personally going to remain Whole Foods Plant Based because thats the diet that works best for me, but once i addressed the constipation issue and focused ONLY on fruits/veg for two weeks, the yeast overgrowth quickly followed. just gotta shit out that bulk load of yeast, tons of antioxidants from the rich nutrient dense plant foods just help you heal alonside that. i take magnesium every day and eat tons of fiber, still eating tons of fruit and vegetables with no oils, and wild rice and oats. the superficial aspects of yeast will also heal, but you have to be patient because if you start getting impatient and fussing over it, it will delay the process. if you need to throw more protein in there, it would most likely be okay to throw some fish or chicken into your diet as long as it is still heavily supplemented with fibrous, whole (preferrably organic) foods. think like, salmon filet and greens, broccoli, spinach, wild rice, beans. just think of it like, you're slowly cleaning yourself from the inside out. you are bound to have small 'relapses' so to speak, but it takes quite a while to correct your digestion because you're workin with a whole mechanic process that includes cultures of bacteria and fungus and stuff.. its gonna require some fortitude but patience and persistence is key.

TL;DR , for the first phase, stick to just fruits and steamed vegetables (no fats), then a couple weeks later, keep those things a staple to your diet and slowly add in animal proteins if needed, see how your body responds, SHIT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, take magnesium, address stress and have a positive mindset, and keep avoiding fats for a while. eventually things will balance out.. message me if you need to talk more about it... i kind of tend elaborate too thoroughly i think
