Booohooohooo... :'(
of all the problems, I am down with candida infection and it is upsetting.
All the slime in the stools and heavy stomach. Oh God why me?
Have taken Pom skin powder and Poppy seeds.
There is some relief but I would love to get your inputs guys.

I think there is a thread in the food section about a candida diet...good luck.
I don't know that much about Candida,
but I will say that sugar plays a big part in feeding it... even fruits!
I would also suggest you look into food combining.. that has helped me a lot with that heavy, gassy stomach feeling.
Like I try not to eat fats with sugars (Ea, peanut butter with fruit)
I can feel it immediately kick in once I accidently mix it up.
All the candida diets seem extremely hard to follow, and you aren't supposed to get results for months.. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Last, you might want to see what incorporating raw garlic does for you. It must be raw (you can chop it up and take it like a pill)
Garlic is supposed to be very anti-fungal.
Of course, talk to a doctor, and let us know how it works out for you.
Oh and I just thought of it looking at your icon/pic and remembering how much you love hot peppers..
I read from one source that spicy things are also out of the picture...
You'd think the heat would kill it though...
Bad: sugars (most fruits included - typical exceptions: cranberries, lemon, pomegranate), carbs (yukon gold potatoes, brown rice, quinoa OKAY), alcohol, and usually peppers, caffeine.
Good: garlic, cranberries, lemon, pomegranate, yukons, brown rice, quinoa, iron rich leafy veggies, lots of water, yogurt, chamomile tea.
Last summer I got a pretty nasty combo of urinary tract and yeast infections after a camp trip. I knew what I did to my body, so I ate nothing but veggies and quinoa for a week, drinking a combo of unsweetened cranberry and pomegranate juices, the following three weeks I stayed away from all refined sugars and grains, eating tons of raw garlic throughout the entire time.
Since it is in your bowls, I'd think flushing it out via a cleanse w/ drinking a saline laxative solution would do the trick to get most of the ickies out....may want to check in w/ a med professional before you do that though.
Good luck!!

Domo Arigato...
Since y'day night, I have started on Vegetables (raw) diet with Brown rice and sauce.
Today, breakfast was Dole's mix veggy salad and Indian Flay bread toast.
Loved it.
Already feeling pepped up.
All you guys, Thanks for your suggestions.
I will follow them religiously.

Friends,
I got myself cured to about 90 percent with just two days of the following intakes.
I switched over to Millet bread and Green salad.
I started taking coconut oil (daily 4 tsp ) smeared on Millet bread.
I chewed dessicated whole coconut pieces twice a day.
I took coconut cream for making curries.
I took three times a day 3/4 tsp each the powder of Pomegranate skin.
Anyone habing candida infection, please try this sure shot remedy which cost me just under 10 dollars.

I think probiotics are good for this too
Dalida,
I take probiotics too. Being a Lacto veg, I take yogurt (plain) three times a day and also buttermilk.
