Blood sugar and Candida, was Candidiasis- food regi

Hi Luise
did i miss the bit where someone wrote about candida and glucose in the blood? (Quite possible I did!). Candida can contact ingested glucose in the small or large intestine...
Generally, I am a bit uncomfortable with the way the common experience of so many nutritionists is being dismissed as totally fallacious. (I myself have come across many people who have had relapses in candida symptoms after eating bread or yeast products). It seems to be a case of 'i don't understand how it happens therefore it can't happen ' - an argument with which we are all too familiar as homeopaths.
There are many yeasts in the gut as well as many bacteria , striving to keep each other in check,and if one is trying to promote the health of the bacteria it should be worth avoiding increasing the general yeast presence in the gut, imo. If no yeasts can survive stomach acids - why do so many people recommend miso and yoghurt and talk about the benefits of fermented products? Research on the microorganisms of the gut and their delicate interrelationship is fairly sparse I believe, due to the sheer numbers and variations of organisms of all kinds,varying as they do from one person to another and even one part of the intestine to the other, one side to the other etc etc. So wouldn't it be wise to show some respect for the common experience of experienced practitioners and try to work out how/why it might be happening? My suggestion above is only one of several possibilities, i am sure.

Hi Irene, hi List,
where does Candida dwell so that it can get at the glucose in the
blood to feed on - and how does it do so?
