Taste Buds Change With Candida Diet
Since I started my Candida diet on April 12th, just a little over 3 months ago, my taste buds have changed dramatically. I didn't think that was ever possible. I used to love Cherry coke, all chocolate candy, well all kinds of candy, and just about everything sweet. Now I like completely unsweetened baker's chocolate, I crave apples, and raspberries are too sweet for me. So even if I tried candy, I don't think I could eat it. That is extremely exciting! Healthy foods taste wonderful to me now. I sure hope that gives some hope to people out there just starting this diet or in the middle of it. You can adapt and still enjoy food!

Nystatin and Candida
My mom was a neonatal intensive care nurse for many years and they treat babies that have thrush with Nystatin. She has been after me to try this drug for my Candida overgrowth. So I've done some research on the topic and came across this blog with some information that I think is helpful. Check it out: Holistic Help.
At the moment, I don't think I will try it. Sounds like it isn't good for the immune system and can cause some pretty bad die off symptoms. On top of that, the Candida can become resistant to it along with all the other anti-fungal drugs, including herbal products. It sure can get discouraging, seeing how long people have to fight Candida overgrowth. I'm thankful that I'm not feeling sick or experiencing too bad of symptoms. I just have to cozy into my candida diet. I've only been on it for almost 3 months and it feels like its been so much longer than that. It is about time for me to make some more recipes. I've pretty much been living on the same foods for a while. My hope is in God and I have to remember that when I get discouraged. I'm so thankful that I am able to be a stay at home mom to a beautiful boy who brings so much joy into my life! I also enjoy getting to make jewelry! I'm blessed with a wonderful husband who allows me to be creative! Thinking of all the things I'm thankful for sure renews my mind and puts a better perspective on life!
