This time I will cover a topic about the effect of corn on candida diet. This is basically based on a question from a friend. He knows that canned sweet corn isn’t good, but he wonders if there might be something to do with the corn stuff.
Here are a few things to keep in mind about corn. First, corn flakes rank very high on the glycemic index, meaning your body converts them to sugar faster than it converts table sugar to sugar (for example: glucose). According to the author of “The Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook,” corn is a no-no simply because it’s difficult to digest. In addition, the Blood Type Diet excludes corn for almost everyone.
On the other hand, the macrobiotic diet esteems fresh corn as an energy booster, as it is brightly colored and grows in an “uplifting” manner. The Ayurvedic candida diet does not prohibit corn, but stresses that people with poor digestion should not consume too much of it, or eat it with foods that promote digestion. Cornmeal in particular can be drying, and if you’re striving for regularity, you’ll want something smoother. So, for example, in Ayurvedic medicine you have to apply ghee on your Makke ki Roti. Bernard Jensen says that everyone should eat cornmeal mush for breakfast twice a week, because the magnesium content in cornmeal is very high, and magnesium is good for the intestines. And my doctor’s anti-candida diet restricts all grains except corn, rice, quinoa, and millet. Amaranth is allowed but it is technically a seed.
I haven’t seen fresh organic corn in any health food store or even Fresh Fields, so I’m going to assume that everything I see comes from GMO crops. I still eat it occasionally though, and it doesn’t cause any bad reactions in me. I haven’t had cornmeal mush for breakfast yet because it strikes me as a little disappointing, a little heartburn-inducing. I’ll let you know if I’ve tried it.
