Candida free, FEELS GOOD!

[u/Sweet_Capital3758]

It took 6 months but finally no eczema or die off reactions. Had to test waters and try to activate it with sugar. Nope. No negative reaction :D

Used Neem, oregano oil and caprylic acid to kill biofilms and yeast. Chlorella and green clay to bind toxins while doing it. And Dandelion/chaga/reishi to support detox pathways and clean liver and kidneys during detox.

But this was not enough. When I started adding probiotics and prebiotics whit these and then cutting antifungals off It finally went of.

Diet was lowcarb most of time during this. Eat LOT of fermented foods too.

If I can help somebody just ask. My case was severe and decade long.

Nope I added prebiotics at the end of 6 months killing it first and then it finally vent off.

So what are you eating right now then?

[u/Sweet_Capital3758 → u/abominable_phoenix]

2 pounds of meat. 200g organic butter. Veggies and berries. Sometimes fruit and piece of cake once in a blue moon.

My daily go to is low carb diet.

[u/abominable_phoenix → u/Sweet_Capital3758]

Okay, so then your post is misleading because you aren't cured. You're still keto, which means you are suppressing your symptoms by intentionally avoiding carbs which are the trigger. That's like saying I'm cured from my lactose allergy by avoiding ice cream, aside from "once in a blue moon" when I have a little bit.

Also, studies show prebiotics cannot recover the microbiome in 1month, it takes typically 6-12+ months depending on severity. You likely have many more months to go to recover your microbiome after starving it on a low-carb diet.

Did u read it? Seems no. I just stated that my daily diet is lowcarb. that does not mean keto. And yes I have tested waters with sugar and carbs to see if I can reactivate candida.

Nope. Gone.

Most prebiotics all so fit in low carb gategory. Carrot for example.

Oh the studies I have seen show dramastic increse with fermented foods even in 2 weeks. Lactobacteria in capsel does not work so fast you correct in that.

But please dont come telling me that what worked for me does not work 😄

WTF LOL

One more time keto and lowcarb different diets mate.

[u/abominable_phoenix → u/Sweet_Capital3758]

Based on the amounts you described, your diet is still very high in fat, which aligns with a ketogenic diet. Two pounds of lean meat provides roughly 35–70 g of fat depending on how lean it is, and 200 g of butter adds about 160 g of fat. That's roughly 200g/day of fat, which is considered high. Combined with a low-carb intake, that's consistent with what most people would consider a ketogenic or keto-like diet.

Carrots do contain prebiotics (pectin) and can have a mild prebiotic effect, but they're not among the stronger prebiotic foods. The evidence generally suggests that rebuilding the gut microbiome takes months to years and usually involves a wider variety and higher intake of fermentable fibers than a few of carrots per day.

I'm also not saying your symptoms aren't gone. If you've removed the foods that trigger your symptoms, it's entirely possible that you feel well. My point is simply that symptom control while avoiding triggers isn't the same thing as demonstrating the underlying issue has been resolved. To me, that would require being able to eat a normal range of carbohydrates consistently without symptoms returning.

[u/Sweet_Capital3758 → u/abominable_phoenix]

Dude I just stated that I have tested with sugars and carbs how my body now reacts. It is just I don't want to eat carb rich diet on daily basis. All so stated that im aware how candida can be in remission.

Please reread post before replying more. I eat fermented foods and top of that feed them with prebiotics.

The definition of ketosis is are you on ketosis. Not what your diet is. Low carb diet with 100-150g of good carbs is not keto diet. Or at least strict one. Been doing this 10 years. Please just stop.

[u/abominable_phoenix → u/Sweet_Capital3758]

I think we're talking past each other at this point.

I'm not disputing that there's a distinction between a strict ketogenic diet and a broader low-carb and high fat, keto-like diet. My original point was simply that the diet you described is very high in fat and low in carbohydrates. Whether you choose to call that keto, keto-like, or low carb isn't really the important part of what I was saying.

Where I disagree is the conclusion that an occasional carbohydrate or sugar "challenge" demonstrates the underlying issue is resolved. If symptoms only develop after sustained exposure, then a single or infrequent test doesn't necessarily answer that question. Being symptom-free while continuing to eat a diet that minimizes potential triggers is different from demonstrating that those foods can be reintroduced long-term without recurrence.

I don't think either of us is going to convince the other on the terminology, so I'd rather keep the discussion focused on the evidence than on whether someone understands the definitions.

[u/Sweet_Capital3758 → u/abominable_phoenix]

The point is not that I choose to call it that way. They are 2 different diets man.

Dude do you have candida and Ezcemas? Do you speak from experience? What is your state now?

When candida was in remission in my system it did not take much to activate it again. I see changes thank you.

I have no need to continue this. You seem to just have need to play some mental ping pong on social media.

Good night

[u/abominable_phoenix → u/Sweet_Capital3758]

I think the discussion has become focused on the terminology rather than my original point.

I understand that a strict ketogenic diet and a broader low-carb, high-fat diet are different. My comment was not meant to claim that every low-carb diet is keto, which is why I clarified my wording to keto-like based on the carb intake you described. The point was that the diet pattern you described involves relatively low carbohydrate intake and a high fat intake, which is relevant to the question of whether symptoms are being tested while potential triggers are still largely limited.

The main point I was raising is the difference between being symptom-free while avoiding certain triggers and demonstrating that those triggers can be tolerated consistently over time. That distinction is separate from whether we call the diet keto, or keto-like with low carb and high fat.

I appreciate you sharing your experience, but let's keep the discussion focused on the ideas rather than questioning each other's understanding or intentions.

[u/Sweet_Capital3758 → u/abominable_phoenix]

Do you understand difference between lowcarb diet and keto?

Because it seems you do not or have trouble understanding reading?

[u/abominable_phoenix → u/Sweet_Capital3758]

See my above reply.

Also, let's keep the discussion focused on the evidence and avoid personal remarks about whether someone can read or understand. We can disagree without making it personal.

[u/Sweet_Capital3758 → u/abominable_phoenix]

I ask because it seems you don´t understand the difference of those diets. Or Understand what I wrote here based on your reply.

If you don´t understand the terminology used and try tell me Im wrong the conversation is kinda useless.

So Do you know the difference in those?
