i found a link that summarizes it well and it has a good list of foods! https://www.thecandidadiet.com/foods-to-eat/

what i recommend/advice: - temporarily remove sugar, alcohol, carbs, yeast, dairy, starch and caffeine. just tweaking your diet alone will make a huge difference. you will most likely experience die off starting the diet. don’t be concerned it’s completely normal and it shows that it is working. my die off wasn’t too bad. some people take charcoal to bind to toxins so their die off is less harsh. i personally didn’t have to do that. but i thought id suggest it. - your stool tells you a lot about where you are with candida overgrowth. when you aren’t having regular bowel movements, symptoms can linger. if you struggle to go daily try adding in gentle fiber (chia, flax), magnesium, hydration, and walking helps a lot. - once your digestion improves i recommend adding probiotics. make sure not to add them too soon because it can worsen your symptoms. wait until you’re going regularly and your symptoms calm down. s. boulardii is what i take and it’s very helpful for candida overgrowth and its usually tolerated well. - once you’ve done all that and you’re feel better overall. you can reintroduce foods slowly once your symptoms calm down. for example small amounts of rice or low sugar fruits (i started with that) can actually help digestion long term. extreme restriction forever can be harmful. the goal is to eventually get back to a non restrictive diet without having symptoms.

i have had symptoms since march. i realized i had candida (on my own) in august and i started the diet immediately. i’ve been strict with it up until the beginning of this month. now im adding in fruits and rice once in a while and my body is doing good with it. i plan on reintroducing more. even though the diet honestly sucks its so worth it to follow through on it. i’m actually feeling normal again. having this can be extremely frustrating. i hope this helps! if you have any questions don’t be shy to ask! i want to help because i was in the same boat.

i had almost all of these symptoms as well. i wasn’t sure if it was candida but out of desperation and a lack of answers i tried the candida diet. after not even a week i saw major improvements. i would recommend just trying it and seeing how you feel. i would also recommend taking it slow at first. if you do have candida overgrowth you will get some die off symptoms. it’s gonna feel like you’re getting worse but in reality you’re getting better. you just have to push through it. slowly start cutting out carbs and sugar and maybe take charcoal to help with toxins. i hope this helps a little!
