Hi,
I'm brand new to this wonderful forum and wonder if someone on this thread could help me?

I've just been diagnosed with a Candida Albican systemic infection. My Dr. put me on Diflucan for 30 days along with a probiotic. Of course I feel horrible.

But along with this regime, I'm also supposed to try Atkins or an Atkins-like (low carb) eating plan. The problem is that I'm confused. I've read almost everything about these diets and sometimes I think less-is-more! Its very confusing in practice.

I also have to cut out dairy, sugar and white flour. I'm finding it extremely hard to cut chocolate (I see that sugar alchol is also a no no). What in the world can I eat?

Atkins induction diet calls for a scant 14 grams of carbs per day for 14 days. A few months ago I did the 14 days and lost 10 lbs. Then, I came to a complete standstill. I think it was because of the yeast.

This time, I can't eat the dairy which is a lot of what's on the Atkins plan at least in the begining.

Help! What the heck CAN I eat?

Thanks to all that respond. I sincerely appreciate it!
