Many people like lentils, I know. But they don’t know that lentils will cause discomfort and pain for people who also have candida or yeast infections. In this article, I show you the case of a woman who has something to do with pulses. She was feeling better and went out to lunch for the first time in 3-4 weeks. He had a few mouthfuls of white rice and some vegetables in brown sauce. She felt fine afterwards.
For dinner, she went out again and had dal, some potatoes and a spinach curry at an Indian restaurant. He ate too much – or something! She awoke with sniffles and stomach pains. Even though she wasn’t thrilled with it, she’s really happy that she’s sensitive enough to know when food isn’t good for me. Recently, she has had immediate reactions to certain foods, which she will avoid for a month or so before eating them again.
Lentils may be his problem in my opinion. They should be avoided until much later stages of the candida diet, when you are more recovered. One reason for this is that they have a high oxalic acid content, and there are other digestive reasons as well.
I know many people love lentils, but you’ll have to give them up for a while, although you’ve probably had them before and had no reaction. Or maybe in fact, you felt great when you *just* ate daal and some papads (made from lentils). It might have happened because of mixing so many types of food.
There is one more thing, it is about beans. The book I read – which I have been ‘insanely’ trying to find on this issue all night – says that when a person is first starting a candida cleanse, they should not eat beans, unless They may not ‘sprout’ the first time. Then as their gut gets stronger, and they move along in their cleanse, they can add them back in. However, the book on lentils says not to add back – and to give them up permanently.
