While taking Aquaflora, we suggest following a Candida-control diet as part of your recovery program. Don't view this as a "diet" in the traditional sense; view it as a whole approach to your wellness, with the goal of eliminating Candida symptoms from your life. This will maximize the effectiveness of our products, and help you achieve the desired results more quickly. As you begin to heal, you will be able to bring some of the foods from the "Avoid" list back into your diet. Test yourself, as your symptoms subside, by introducing one food from the "Avoid" list, one time per week. If no reaction occurs, continue trying that item once or twice per week. Monitor your reactions, and adjust your diet accordingly.

Please adhere to the diet as closely as possible. Candida fungus grows on sugar, starch, and high carbohydrate foods. It is also fed by gluten-containing grains. Gluten-containing grains include wheat, oats, rye, and barley. Candida is also fed by the other yeast molds that are contained in many foods. Please read labels and check for ingredients that are on the "avoid list." If you have to cheat, do so sparingly. Your cravings will dissipate once Candida is leaving the body. Slowly, after a month, reintroduce foods back into your diet that are on the "Foods to Avoids" list. You will be able to tell which foods you can tolerate.
