Please note, the candida diet is designed to temporarily assist in managing Candida, and is not designed to be long term. Long term diets can do more harm to the microbiome and cause lasting, negative effects on the gut. Please seek guidance from myself or another professional if you think you’re dealing with Candida overgrowth.

Bon appetit!
