Candida-Safe Recipe Collection

By Karen Tripp

This recipe page and its links are assembled specifically for those of you who have candida or autoimmune disorders. Thanks for coming here, and you should know that I will be continually adding recipes and links when I find foods that I know you can have on the candida program that I was on.  I realize there is a huge controversy about what is allowed and what is not, but I didn't write this program, I just followed it.  The stricter you can be with yourself, the better off you will be. If in doubt, don't eat it.  Watch for you OWN reactions to foods ... avoid anything that makes you feel worse. Keep a food journal, it will be your saviour if you run into problems.

REMEMBER:  Eggs are allowed (they are not dairy products).  Small amounts of avocado and tomatoes are allowed.  Many foods are "best avoided" but can be tolerated in small amounts and in moderation BUT must be well heated and eaten hot. If you do not understand this, please read further.

And yes, I did include a couple of desserts. Seems there is just not a lot out there about cooking with STEVIA - The cookbooks that I have found are excellent for diabetics, but almost every recipe has something that the candida sufferer cannot have (i.e. fruit) - at least on this version of the diet.

If you find broken links, or recipes that have sugar in them, please notify me. Thanks.

The book I used as my bible was called The Body Ecology Diet, by Donna Gates. Click here you can go directly to the recipe of the month: http://www.bodyecologydiet.com/recipe.html.

I want you to know that Gates' book is similar to Crooks' "The Yeast Connection", insofar as it is very STRICT about the foods you can and cannot eat. Dr. Piller's program is significantly easier to master because of the many foods that ARE allowed, providing they are eaten under the proper conditions. Therefore you will see recipes here that contain wheat, dairy, cheese, avocado, olive oil, and several other foods that re "strictly forbidden" on the traditional candida program. I am living proof that this version of the diet works just fine, but I do believe that a large part of the success of the program had to do with the Formula SF-722 pills that I took with each meal. If you were to try to recover by diet alone, you would need to go by the strict version and it would take considerably longer. Be sure to read my entire website.

And my favorite:  chicken with 40 cloves of garlic:
In a crockpot layer boneless skinless chicken thighs, sprinkled with 
salt, pepper and as many cloves garlic as you want.  The garlic 
mellows as it cooks and is spreadable. And it doesn't give you garlic breath.
No water, no spices necessary, no fats, nothing. Just layer the chicken and garlic, 
put the lid on and let it cook all day. It makes its own juice which you can
save or eat or discard, make gravy with, or pour over rice...

Please note that the Stevia that I use is an expensive ($630 per kilo) concentrated white powder. You may have to alter the amount of stevia, depending on the brand you are using. There is a product called Sweetvia which has no aftertaste and is available in single packets. I can vouch for this product; as I have tried it and it is excellent.
