YOUR CANDIDA QUESTIONS

Because of an overwhelming response we received to Cheryl Young's personal account of her struggle with candida in our February issue, we at Better Nutrition would like to provide you with some online answers to your many questions. Although we urge that you discuss your health matters with a healthcare practitioner, the following are some web sites that may offer additional information: www.candidapage.com is the place to go for links to a variety of resources about candida including definitions, frequently asked questions and organizations that can help you.

If you have already been diagnosed with this illness and are confined to the strict candida diet, turn to www.paleofood.com for recipes that include everything from beverages to dinners and can also help you convert your old favorite recipes according to your new dietary restrictions.

The National Candida Society is based in the United Kingdom, but its web site, www.candida-society.org.uk, offers excellent information and advice regarding the disease.

Many books are available regarding candida and can be found in your local book store or through online booksellers like Amazon.com.

For referral and testing information, www.price-pottenger.org, a site hosted by the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation can help, but it is recommended that you first discuss the matter with your physician.
