I am a little confused about the use of carob being ok. I just bought carob powder that doesn't list any sugar in the ingredients but does have 3 grams of sugar per tablespoon listed in the nutritional info.. Just wondering why it is ok to use,being that it does have sugar in it..I've only been on my cleanse for 5 days but would love to make a carob dessert..The sugar part has me scared to though..Thanks for any help!

I'm so glad you shared the differences! I'm really going to look into the more holistic approach, which I adore...more than telling a diabetic to intake fake sugar... :) Thanks a million! ~Kat Wow!

Your answer is just what I needed to keep going! Thanks Ricki. Your answer is just what I needed to keep going!

It IS a hard diet, but I find that (a) it gets easier over time; and (b) once the symptoms abate, then you can ease up a bit. They key is to ease up a BIT and not go back to old eating habits (as I did last year). Zoe, Thanks so much! My score was pretty scary at first, too. (I'm now down to 68). Good luck! Bev, Because conventional doctors don't believe in candida syndrome, there is no standard test. Holistic practitioners go by clinical evidence--ie, symptoms. Kat, Dieticians are trained through conventional universities and they focus more on science subjects such as biology, chemistry, etc (more like what a nurse would study). RHNs (and yes, it's Registered Holistic Nutritionst) are alternative practitioners who study in private institutions. I studied at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition here in Toronto. RHNs believe that diet can help to heal certain conditions; in addition, we would never use or advocate anything that isn't a whole, organic, "real" food (so whereas a dietician might suggest aspartame or sucralose for a diabetic, an RHN never would). Inga, It's not the starting score that's most important--it's where you end up. Good luck with the diet--I know it will help you feel better! Galah, Thanks for the tip re: aloe vera. I knew it was great for intestinal health, but didn't know it also helps to kill candida--great! :) Sylvie,

I highly recommend taking aloe vera juice (or freeze dried) to help strengthen digestion and kill candida. Thanks for the great blog Ricki, so many people have to deal with this and I think developing a long term strategy to keep it in check is essential.

I took that test and the result was really bad (335) Ups! I knew I had Candida issues, I just didn't realize it was THAT bad. Good thing I'm starting on that ACD pretty soon. I wanna get rid of those nasties!! Thanks a lot for your post :-) Inga Lill Wow… I took that test and the result was really bad (335) Ups!

I'm in the dietetics program at Kansas State, but lean more toward the holistic approach and am interested in the differences! Where did you get your degree?

A blood test? Zoe, my score was 126. I didn't think it could go as high as yours! Good luck ;) What kind of test would a doctor perform for candida? A blood test?

I had already suspected a yeast infection and have been following an anti-yeast diet for a couple weeks now. But I took the quiz on WholeApproach.com out of curiosity and my score was 248! Holey Crapola! 85 and up is severe... guess I'll be doing this for a while. So thanks for all the resources, and I look forward to following your blog :) Thanks so much for this article, it was a great read!
