I only gave my daughter plain yogurt until she started noticing that other kids had fruit flavoured yogurt. We now buy plain yogurt and put our own "jam" in it. This jam is just crushed berries with no sugar, but it does make the yogurt taste better and make my kid feel less left out.
Kids usually won't eat plain yogurts so I like to cut up organic raspberries or blueberries to add to it. I used to add Splenda that taste great but now they believe it's causing fatty liver disease and also messes up the gut biome.
The fruit in yogurt will ferment inside our bodies. Not a good combination. Either fruit of similar acidity level or dairy but not both together are healthier Dairy also cross reacts with gluten if anyone is interested. I had to get off dairy. Antibiotics can be lethal...
My recurring oral candida with white tongue (seven episodes treated by doctors over six months ) disappeared when I upped my Vitamin D (800 IUs/day) and vitamin B12. I've been on serious Keto diet for over a year. I'd love to hear others' experience.
It would had been your diet that got the candida down and upped your health. Keto is very low in sugar and candida thrives off that stuff. Its ultimately diet that heals everything.
@@JoanneArc-or9sr Not really. Candida overgrows because of toxins. Its like an algae in a dirty pool. You need to clear the toxins by eating raw plant diet, not a carcass - meat. Body needs sugar - there is for a reason blood sugar level. But you need healthy natural sugar from fruits and vegetables. Not a meat full of fat and recycled proteins. Meat is nothing but recycled dirty food. Why eat recycled food if you can eat primary - clean food like raw plants?
I'm clean keto I take vitamin d daily and b12 but I've got a series candida issue. It's in my oesophagus and affects my breathing. It's bad 😥 I'm so glad yours is better!
I left western diet and back to my Indian diet full of garlic, spices, vegetables and herbs. My body and soul healed. Will never ever make the mistake again by leaving the best diet in the world.

Thank you for this video.I have candida parapsilosis . I am now 3rd week on Fluconazole but also been through a lot of elimination of food..sugar no cakes,pastries,no chocolate etc..mostly berries,watermelon,grepfruit,limes,lemons in water.Didnt have any bread for 3rd week now..Stopped eating potatoes..white flour..Have my meats chicken,salmon,other white fish,octopus...Its not easy but I think I am doing good at eating very low carb..Had some natural yogurt..Had white beans but I ve got only 3 table spoons left to finish and eliminate completely...and not buying it again while on diet. I have quinoa,buckwheat for to cook..or buckwheat and coconut flour. Eat some fresh raw garlic plus I add oregano oil to my drink. No alcohol...but I didnt drink much before either. As I was learning,reading what I can eat ..I am still on the jfew months journey.
I just started fluconazole and candida diet with probiotics and candida drops im gonna give the diet 2 to 9 months I pray everyone who has it it goes away and can live a happy healthy normal life I've had this off and on for years I've been to the dermatologist and doctor for years at one point they gave me anti-biotics for months which made it worse only recently was I finally diagnosed with yeast overgrowth I am a male but was prescribed fluconazole a once daily vaginal yeast infection pill for two weeks I'm praying they work its caused me to have dry painful blister like blotches all over my body head to toe all I eat now is eggs beef chicken turkey salmon apple cider vinegar cinnamon ginger tumeric kale garlic i'm not even gonna chance it with berries or fruit maybe lemon water no yogurt either the ones I've tried had little bit of milk and sugar I hope one day to be able to eat pizza ice cream coffee fruit God Bless
God bless and you can do this I'm a female I was on 6 months of fluconazole and after stopping I decided diet would truly help me keep being better and not fall back down. Had thrush female severely and find that coconut yoghurt - no milk or sugar is so very helpful with the probiotics to build up the biome in the gut again- oil of oregano is great too, prebiotics been having too after a script of antibiotics that made thrush come back. You are doing great! Good luck and may you also enjoy food and may your skin feel better 🙏
Three weeks ago i started with a six day water fast and the last two days of them without water then immediately switched to keto omad.and scince then I only eat arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, tuna, salmon, cod, red meat, olive oil, coconut oil, mct-8, ghee, oregano oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic in large quantities. and of course all this helps but to be honest sometimes I crave carbs and its not so easy. and what is also interesting is that now it is much more difficult to eat once a day and despite the large amount of fat, I want to eat constantly and I think this is all because the body is critically deficient in the necessary nutrients that it is deficient in because of this fungus. When my friend had Candida I didn't think it was such an evil but now that I've had it for two years I understand what a nightmare it is. I wish us all a speedy recovery.
One of the best videos I ever heard about sifo, very important point is to remember "try it yourself". We are different, like and fungals can be. Good luck fighting🙂
I started eating animal based , and wow. No more blood pressure medicine, no more chronic fatigue or brain fog , lot of energy, I sleep great. No more tummy problems, I had water diarrhea almost every day that’s gone I think that was grain related because when I throw out the bread it stopped.I did had to get used to this way of eating and it took me 3 months for my body to adjust,but it is totally worth it to me.

In 47 perimenopause, just discovered I have Trush ?White tongue, 👅 I have flu like symptoms hot flashes and low energy, sleep problems and stomach pain not sure what’s wrong w me but your information makes sense thank you ! I would like to visit a menopause doctor but now in days are private concierge type office !
So glad I came accross your video I had taken antibiotics for dental work which I come to find I don't need anymore to have such a stomach issue like never before and was prescribed antifungal medication and medication for my white tongue but yet I'm still following a diet of the more bland type foods which happen to be some of the foods you mentioned to eat less of. My symptoms are still occurring but I've made progress and now that you mentioned the foods that are better I'm gonna try to help my gut heal because it has been driving me crazy! Thank you!
I had a bad bout of candida back in 2007 and took all sorts of supplements. Had a light recurrence this winter and used undecyclenic acid. A little expensive but worth every penny to keep on hand.
Because they started it with their antibiotic for everyone! Before my one and only time i took it for soar throat which vitamin c would have cured, i didnt have any issues. 12 years later my health is a mess because of it and oral candida is feels impossible to get rid of at this point. I wish Elon musk would soon invent a time machine so I can go back and NOT take antibiotics!! It litterally changed my life forever for the worse!
After seeing this video I’m very concerned about the blood pressure medication I’m having to take due to imbalance of the hormone aldosterone. The medication impacts estrogen levels. I have put on 25lbs in two years but I’m now very dependent on it to keep my blood pressure down. I’m also suffering from mold toxicity which affects hormones and blood pressure. My blood pressure suddenly went off the charts around the same time I had an unknown water pipe leak which has created mold in my air conditioning ductwork.
I'm 58, noticed that recently I am severely struggling with this due to low estrogen and I do not want to do synthetic HRT. Dr keeps filling my life with prescription meds that only temporarily solve my problems. I've been adding orgeanano oil supplements and drinking Clove water etc. Trying to avoid breads and yeasty foods. Trying to find alternatives to help get myself balanced, still struggling. 😢
He recommends some seed oils which are extremely inflammatory I would steer clear of these and just go with Cold pressed olive Olive and avocado oils As well as MCT For those who can tolerate it I love MCT personally But I haven't been using it long
@@susanwright1999 I don't think that was it, love! I consume tons of coconut oil (But also grass-fed butter, Ghee) OO, Avo oil. If you eat processed cakes, cookies, fries, or take out that most likely is the culprit but i'm just speculating.
Your videos & Elemental Heal helped me to resolve my symptoms after I acquired Hpylori and went through 3 different antibiotics which did nothing for me. I’m on my second jug of Elemental Heal. Thank you so much!
@whitGGG hello! How did you know you had h pylori? And what is elemental and did that get rid of the H. pylori? Even after none of the antibiotics did?
What about pulmonary hypertension rather than coronary? I’ve been breathing in mold gas for over three years due to unknown water and mold in my air conditioning ductwork. My blood pressure improved after moving out and staying with a friend. I’m still having some blood pressure spikes but not so much at night like I was while breathing in the gas in my sleep. I am improved somewhat in my health but have a long way to go to get the mold out of my body.
Sifo after SIBO Candida albicans, 2 years. Too many surgeries and antibiotics. Thrush casing fungal overgrowth in sinuses blocking them. Been using fluconazole on and off and elevated my liver enzymes. Try to follow the diet, but do need some carbs once or twice a week as I am competitive athlete. I’m exhausted have fatigue. It affects my brain. And really very limited diet.
Im doing keto diet.. on day two.. I have stomach issues so just bought florisil50.. I'm pretty sure I have candida should I take it?? And how can I test if I have candida? This video is so helpful
weird! Keto has HELPED my energy, sleep, and has FIXED my cycle from 21 days back to a normal 28 days! Just celebrated 5 year ketoversary and can't imagine going back to the 27 healrh issues it has healed - including diabetes and low thyroid and lost 100 lbs! it also got rid of my candida thrush ... UNTIL a dog attack that has caused years of therapy & stress & created SIBO & histamine intolerance & return of candida thrush. 1 month into SIBO/HISTAMINE diet & probiotic therapy and thrush is gone.
@airesnelsonc137 Yes, SIBO Diet = Low FODMAP. But I also have Histamine Intolerance, and many HI Diet yes foods are LF no foods, and vice versa. Then when you remove the high carb foods... it has become the most restrictive thing I've ever done! I have never felt restricted on high-veg clean keto... there are SO many options and substitutes and recipes available... that is sustainable for life for me... but THIS mixed diet is very hard and I'm glad it is only for a few months. Then I can start testing to add other foods back in. HOWEVER - I can see it is worth it with fewer and fewer occurrences of less severe symptoms. so I'm sticking with it and persevering!
@Xoxo-kj4vy As per Dr Ruscio's chart in half his videos... a Lacto/Bifido Blend (like 90%of probiotics bottles out there... but if you have Histamine Intolerance, look up "Seeking Health" who has list of probiotics that are Histamine Liberators! L. Casei is a repeat offender in most blends!) and Saccharomyces Boulardii and the one soil based that I can find in Canada (see Dr R website for list of options) is Bacillus Coagulans (beware, most brands add Maltitol! no TY!) ... and then as a bonus, I also added L. Reuteri because everyone else I've learned from on this topic recommends that one for SIBO.
Omg I think I have two things at once and they are opposite food! After first time diverticulitis attack, and 10 days of antibiotics, 6 weeks later healed! But now I discovered I have a histamine problem and possible candidate, which both foods sources go against each other!!!!!!help!!!!
Potentially it might not be the caffeine, do an experiment, buy caffeine pills, pure, if they create the same effect then it truly is the caffeine, if not, then that means your coffee of choice is contaminated with mycotoxins, probably from aspergillus.
I have a good experiment for you, buy pure caffeine pills, if you still feel the same side effects then it truly is the caffeine, but if you don't then that means your coffee of choice is infected with mycotoxins, probably from aspergillus, find a coffee that tests for mold and enjoy 😉
Dr. please is there a specific test to see if I have candida overgrowth? Will the medicine kill the good bacteria in my gut? For instance fluconazole? Is it better just to do the diet? Maybe the garlic is a good choice? Do you advise to take an allopathic medicine along with the diet? What if you have sibo and sifo? Do you sell a book of diet to follow.
Ever since I had chemo (carboplatin & taxol) to beat tonsil, tongue & lymph node cancer I’ve had a whiteness on my tongue. I took two rounds of a horrible drug for candida, and it did not go away. I kept asking my Dr’s what is on my tongue? I brush it, scrape it and it has gotten a little better since I had the treatments 2 yrs ago, but when I eat sugar or dairy it flares up again. My oncologist said it was chemo tongue. I was on a feeding tube for 20 months and only consumed Kate farms thru a peg. I’m going to take this info and try and cure whatever is on my tongue. Thanks Doc.
You know you shouldn’t eat sugar? Eating sugar is what destroys your NK cells from fighting off cancer cells? If I were you and you value your life you may want to give up Gluten, Sugar and dairy. You need to heel your gut then everything else heels.
Since getting leakygut about 7mos ago, now I'm seeing a little bit of white on my tongue. This seems to slowly morph into other issues and compound health problems. My sis gave me some products like diatomaceous earthpwdr & liquid minerals plus got on a supplement protocol 🙏🏼 This is very helpful information I'll start today
@@DrRuscioDC Thanks alot! I'm very fortunate that so far I don't have abdominal pain or other pain going on. I'll take fatigue over all of that. You're very thorough, know your topics and have great info. 🩷
I took a zinc supplement vitamin C supplement vitamin C complete with zinc and C and a complete B and trying to see how it works I stopped consuming dairy
Hey doc can you please make a video on H-pylori and chronic gastritis, people are really suffering from that including me 2 years didn't live any day without being symptomatic
Try cook crawnberrys like 2 tablespoon with water and then put honey in the water and drink it. do that everyday for 1-2 weeks! It should kill the hpylori! Also do your research on this :)
Red cabbage juice - There are studies from the 50's showing it heals gastric ulcers in less than 3 weeks. Try Zinc Carnosine and DGL licorice, alongside L Glutamine, they use this to treat ulcers in hospitals in Japan.
Would lactose gluten free casein free para ben free kefir be ok . I drank about 4oz and felt better. But sugar content 12 g no added sugar Not treated w bhrt Organic grass fed
What do you eat when you have histamine intolerance and food allergies? Everything on the list will give me canker soars and hives, terribly allergic to fish and seafood. Im the one who eats crap and feels great. Eat a vegetable and I'm down for a week.
When you grow mushrooms one generally uses whole grains because its more nutrients for it to grow. Whole grain almost have the same GI as white. Probably better to limit it all together? Also I'm a bit confused about chips, lower GI then potatos itself...
I found that decades of our family members' seborrheic dermatitis went away when each gave up wheat gluten. My husband was amazed in 3-4 weeks his life long bouts with psoriasis went completely away!
Thx for the reply! I’ve been gluten free for at least 8months. I wonder it is another trigger or Candida issue. Any else with Seb Derm find the cure/relief for them?
No. I would use avocado oil for frying, cooking or baking or olive oil for sauteing, frying on very low heat, cooking or baking (below 325 degrees Fahrenheit) and topping off on salads and dips.
@@saraswatkin9226 There's olive oil specifically for sauteing and grilling at 325° Fahrenheit or below. It will say it on the bottle. I wouldn't use it for cooking otherwise. Dr. Gundry, a cardio surgeon said olive oil can't be cooked with is a myth.
Thank you gor the guide.Had OAT test that indicated candida though stool test was negative though Akkermansia was showing low levels. Been prescribed Nystatin and only Akkermansia. Should i be taking others like S.Boullardia?
Hi there! The carnivore diet isn’t an elemental diet, but can be considered a very strict type of elimination diet. An elemental diet is different from an elimination diet, because, rather than whole foods, it involves a person consuming only a highly digestible/pre-digested medical food replacement formula for the duration of therapy.
@@YvefuturaHi there! It’s still not an elemental diet. An elemental diet formula consists of pre-digested nutrients, amino acids, simple carbohydrates. Think of it as the base components, or “elements,” of food. It’s a specific, special formulation. So, while a carnivore diet can be a very effective elimination diet, and the foods included in it may be nutrient-dense, it simply isn’t the same thing.
I started on the Keto diet in March, I have more energy, sleep better and removed many ailments. No one I know experiences low energy as you describe. Do you have research papers that clarify this? What you describe is Keto, no sugar, no starchy vegetables, low sugar fruits, monitor carbs. If you trying to reverse diabetes then your carbs would be very low for Carbs turn to sugar.
I’m so glad to hear it’s worked for you! Some people experience negative effects (even after the initial adjustment period, where some are to be expected), so it may not be ideal for those people. We go over low-carb/keto diets more on this episode of the podcast: drruscio.com/low-carb-keto-diets-bad-gut-health/.
Thanks for these videos, Dr. Michael. I have one question, which I hope you could cover in a future video: What about Oxalates? SIFO & Candida can cause a lot of oxalate as a byproduct---if the overgrowth is severe---and with heavy leaky gut it's easy to absorb high amounts of the oxalates from these plant foods. Causing a double whammy. Especially if the diet is higher in oils and lower in calcium. Would love to know how to navigate this. Also, what's your take on no-plant GAPS to rebuild gut after years of dysbiosis, mold / CIRS, CPTSD etc? Would love a look into that diet on your channel. Seems to be helpful for those of us who just can't move the needle and react to so much---besides doing Primal Trust and other limbic retraining. I want to add that Elemental Diet is what caused my severe SIFO overgrowth. So we got to be careful aproaching this. It only beame a problem over time with prolonged use, as oral thrush developed and it began spreading to throat etc.
I did a candida stool test and I'm safe but when I drink coffee and tea my tongue turns yellowish or brown and it causes halitosis, when I brush my tongue it's mostly gone. What could be the reason?
Same…Coffee beans can be moldy causes yeast overgrowth. I have to cut it out. This and processed sugar. Its an imbalance of good vs bad bacteria and possibly candida causing it. I tried so much. Only probiotic i found that may help bring balance was sour milk. If they have that in your country you could try it. But if you got sibo then it may make it worse. You can always try it, shouldnt hurt.
Whole wheat? doesn’t that turn to sugar after it metabolize. I think what evolves down to is everybody’s microbiome is different and you have to feed and watch what you eat accordingly.
Thank you so much you are a hero! The last bit got me worried as you inferred that candida can cause IBD like in those 2 children, but I've never heard this correlation before. Please put my mind at ease :)
Thank you for your kind words! And while it’s possible there is a correlation, that doesn’t mean it’s destined to happen to everyone who suffers with candida. But that’s another reason why trying to treat or curtail it is so important, in addition to relieving symptoms and elevating quality of life.
@@DrRuscioDC Could they not just have both instead of one causing another? As IBD is obviously a type of dysbiosis anyway there are likely to be conditions alongside it anyway like candida or sibo?
i have it for 6 months and i feel like a psychotic robot. chronic fatique, depressions, This Mf Candida is like a f.... Labyrinth .everybody say different things. hopefully everybody would heal fast from that damn thing🙏 greetings from germany ✌
Tried everything, keto diet, Candida diet, natural Candida supplements, gluten free diet, grain free diet, low histamine diet for almost a year but still not improved, still bad symptoms. Very stressful last year still ongoing and mould issue in the house now dealing with but seems no ending
Have to rinse mouth with salt or vinegar or oregano or have fennel or cloves in mouth. Something low stress but anti yeast. Dont give it chance to grow. Lots of choices just has to be full time job. Sleep with mouth closed. Brush after every time you eat anything. Brush with coconut oil with salt and or soda tea tree or peppermint. Lots of rest and sleep and good exercise. Drink a lot to flush it out. ACV good but dilute and rinse off teeth.
All starches feed candida in me seen I'm mercury toxic. Eating raw ripe fresh organic alkaline produce including fruir plus various herbs helped me get better. But the root cause like heavy metal toxicity needs to be remedied.
Dr. Can you make a video about High Zonulin and how to get rid of? And does it lead to high histamine level? Does it dizziness and hyperthyroidism? Thank you ❤
Hi there! It depends on what it’s prescribed for and indicated to treat. The best bet is to consult with a doctor who can both prescribe and monitor the med.
🙋🏻♂️. I found it at Pub med: 6 pills 500K strength per day. Since my doctors don’t have a clue about Candidiasis. I m on my own with UA-cam by my side. 🙏

Dr keeps filling my life with prescription meds that only temporarily solve my problems. I've been adding orgeanano oil supplements and drinking Clove water etc. Trying to avoid breads and yeasty foods. Trying to find alternatives to help get myself balanced, still struggling. 😢
He recommends some seed oils which are extremely inflammatory I would steer clear of these and just go with Cold pressed olive Olive and avocado oils As well as MCT For those who can tolerate it I love MCT personally But I haven't been using it long
I don’t need ANY oils. Just tallow if ghee. All that’s really needed for me.🤷🏻♀️
MCT raised my triglycerides
@@susanwright1999 I don't think that was it, love! I consume tons of coconut oil (But also grass-fed butter, Ghee) OO, Avo oil. If you eat processed cakes, cookies, fries, or take out that most likely is the culprit but i'm just speculating.
Your videos & Elemental Heal helped me to resolve my symptoms after I acquired Hpylori and went through 3 different antibiotics which did nothing for me. I’m on my second jug of Elemental Heal. Thank you so much!
I’m so happy to hear it! Grateful to be part of your healing journey.
@whitGGG
hello! How did you know you had h pylori?
And what is elemental and did that get rid of the H. pylori? Even after none of the antibiotics did?
@@loribakergirl6438 I was diagnosed with Hpylori by my doctor. I had never heard of it before. Look up Elemental Heal by Dr. Ruscio.
Dr. Can you make a similar video about histamine intolerance ? Thanks
Great idea! Thank you!

Can Candida trigger an Histamin Intolerance?
Thank you, Dr. Ruscio. This is supremely helpful!! Your videos are always great, thank you so much!
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear it!
Thank you! Thank you! So much for this, Dr. Ruscio. I just hope this will help. God bless.
What about pulmonary hypertension rather than coronary? I’ve been breathing in mold gas for over three years due to unknown water and mold in my air conditioning ductwork. My blood pressure improved after moving out and staying with a friend. I’m still having some blood pressure spikes but not so much at night like I was while breathing in the gas in my sleep. I am improved somewhat in my health but have a long way to go to get the mold out of my body.
Sifo after SIBO Candida albicans, 2 years. Too many surgeries and antibiotics. Thrush casing fungal overgrowth in sinuses blocking them. Been using fluconazole on and off and elevated my liver enzymes. Try to follow the diet, but do need some carbs once or twice a week as I am competitive athlete. I’m exhausted have fatigue. It affects my brain. And really very limited diet.
Thank you so much for the very precious video Michael! Greetings from Germany 🩵🩵🩵
Im doing keto diet.. on day two.. I have stomach issues so just bought florisil50.. I'm pretty sure I have candida should I take it?? And how can I test if I have candida? This video is so helpful
Pau D Arco bark, this supplement should be taken daily just before meals. A clove just suck on a bud. Helps keep a white tongue at bay.
What does this do?
Thank you xx
Pau d arco tea helps me alot
I took it once or twice and got severe headaches from it so i didnt try it again.
Do u mean garlic
weird! Keto has HELPED my energy, sleep, and has FIXED my cycle from 21 days back to a normal 28 days! Just celebrated 5 year ketoversary and can't imagine going back to the 27 healrh issues it has healed - including diabetes and low thyroid and lost 100 lbs! it also got rid of my candida thrush ... UNTIL a dog attack that has caused years of therapy & stress & created SIBO & histamine intolerance & return of candida thrush. 1 month into SIBO/HISTAMINE diet & probiotic therapy and thrush is gone.
I’m so sorry you had that setback after something so awful happened to you, but glad to hear you’re back on the mend.
Which probiotic are you taking
@airesnelsonc137 Yes, SIBO Diet = Low FODMAP. But I also have Histamine Intolerance, and many HI Diet yes foods are LF no foods, and vice versa. Then when you remove the high carb foods... it has become the most restrictive thing I've ever done! I have never felt restricted on high-veg clean keto... there are SO many options and substitutes and recipes available... that is sustainable for life for me... but THIS mixed diet is very hard and I'm glad it is only for a few months. Then I can start testing to add other foods back in. HOWEVER - I can see it is worth it with fewer and fewer occurrences of less severe symptoms. so I'm sticking with it and persevering!
@Xoxo-kj4vy As per Dr Ruscio's chart in half his videos... a Lacto/Bifido Blend (like 90%of probiotics bottles out there... but if you have Histamine Intolerance, look up "Seeking Health" who has list of probiotics that are Histamine Liberators! L. Casei is a repeat offender in most blends!) and Saccharomyces Boulardii and the one soil based that I can find in Canada (see Dr R website for list of options) is Bacillus Coagulans (beware, most brands add Maltitol! no TY!) ... and then as a bonus, I also added L. Reuteri because everyone else I've learned from on this topic recommends that one for SIBO.
can you share your diet what u eat ? how often like breakfast lunch dinner and what snack if any u do
Omg I think I have two things at once and they are opposite food! After first time diverticulitis attack, and 10 days of antibiotics, 6 weeks later healed! But now I discovered I have a histamine problem and possible candidate, which both foods sources go against each other!!!!!!help!!!!
I have high level of candida, SIBO and leaky gut. I am confused about the diet I should follow and where to start…
Same here
Start here
Start treating the leaky gut, then SIBO and cándida.
Same here I stress òut
Eu tbm..
I bloat from coffee, is organic decafe as good ? Thanks for addressing maltodextrin
He mentioned it's the caffeine
Must have missed that. Thanks.
Potentially it might not be the caffeine, do an experiment, buy caffeine pills, pure, if they create the same effect then it truly is the caffeine, if not, then that means your coffee of choice is contaminated with mycotoxins, probably from aspergillus.
I have a good experiment for you, buy pure caffeine pills, if you still feel the same side effects then it truly is the caffeine, but if you don't then that means your coffee of choice is infected with mycotoxins, probably from aspergillus, find a coffee that tests for mold and enjoy 😉
Dr. please is there a specific test to see if I have candida overgrowth?
Will the medicine kill the good bacteria in my gut? For instance fluconazole?
Is it better just to do the diet?
Maybe the garlic is a good choice?
Do you advise to take an allopathic medicine along with the diet?
What if you have sibo and sifo?
Do you sell a book of diet to follow.
Aged garlic really works on Candida too.
How can use it
Cannot wait to listen to this one! I am currently trying to deal with a long-term candida issue.
I’m so sorry you’ve been suffering with that! I hope you feel better soon.
Is that elemental diet also helpful when you have candida non-albicans overgrowth? And mold fungi overgrowth?
This was a really good video Michael. ‼Thanks.
Ever since I had chemo (carboplatin & taxol) to beat tonsil, tongue & lymph node cancer I’ve had a whiteness on my tongue. I took two rounds of a horrible drug for candida, and it did not go away. I kept asking my Dr’s what is on my tongue? I brush it, scrape it and it has gotten a little better since I had the treatments 2 yrs ago, but when I eat sugar or dairy it flares up again. My oncologist said it was chemo tongue. I was on a feeding tube for 20 months and only consumed Kate farms thru a peg. I’m going to take this info and try and cure whatever is on my tongue. Thanks Doc.
You know you shouldn’t eat sugar? Eating sugar is what destroys your NK cells from fighting off cancer cells? If I were you and you value your life you may want to give up Gluten, Sugar and dairy. You need to heel your gut then everything else heels.
Get a homeopath
Great info, many thanks Dr. Rusco
Since getting leakygut about 7mos ago, now I'm seeing a little bit of white on my tongue. This seems to slowly morph into other issues and compound health problems. My sis gave me some products like diatomaceous earthpwdr & liquid minerals plus got on a supplement protocol 🙏🏼 This is very helpful information I'll start today
What is the diatomaceous earth supposed to do?
@@TommyGTime It's supposedly antifungal
I really hope you feel better soon!
@@DrRuscioDC Thanks alot! I'm very fortunate that so far I don't have abdominal pain or other pain going on. I'll take fatigue over all of that. You're very thorough, know your topics and have great info. 🩷

I took a zinc supplement vitamin C supplement vitamin C complete with zinc and C and a complete B and trying to see how it works I stopped consuming dairy
What if you have both? Sibo and Sifo? I have been keto over a year and it fixed my Sibo but made my Sifo worse
SilverFernBrand has a terrific protocol for both!
Very helpful
This video was awesome thank you
Fabulous info, ❤ so much more than what my doc offered me…
Hey doc can you please make a video on H-pylori and chronic gastritis, people are really suffering from that including me 2 years didn't live any day without being symptomatic
I’m so sorry you’ve been suffering with that! Sure, I’ll pass your suggestion along to the team. Thank you!
Try cook crawnberrys like 2 tablespoon with water and then put honey in the water and drink it. do that everyday for 1-2 weeks! It should kill the hpylori! Also do your research on this :)
Do o u mean cranberry please
Cabbage juice has been used years. Fresh celery juice works for gastritis. Cucumber nd banana helps too
Red cabbage juice - There are studies from the 50's showing it heals gastric ulcers in less than 3 weeks. Try Zinc Carnosine and DGL licorice, alongside L Glutamine, they use this to treat ulcers in hospitals in Japan.
Would lactose gluten free casein free para ben free kefir be ok . I drank about 4oz and felt better. But sugar content 12 g no added sugar
Not treated w bhrt
Organic grass fed
Can i take jaggery instead of sugar in oral thrush?
Is it possible for a person to have both Sibo and Sifo at the same time?
Yes...apparently I have both on OAT test. However, I seem to have more SIBO than SIFO. I just started SIBO treatment last week.
My naturopath doctor prescribed cantibactin AE and BR. It knocked out one of them first now onto the next, probably the Sibo. Sold by practitioner.
What do you eat when you have histamine intolerance and food allergies? Everything on the list will give me canker soars and hives, terribly allergic to fish and seafood. Im the one who eats crap and feels great. Eat a vegetable and I'm down for a week.
Wow!
Fantastic video, thank you
When you grow mushrooms one generally uses whole grains because its more nutrients for it to grow. Whole grain almost have the same GI as white. Probably better to limit it all together? Also I'm a bit confused about chips, lower GI then potatos itself...
I greatly appreciate this video. You are the best!
Thank you for the valuable information.
You’re so welcome!

Dr. Ruscio, can you tell me if Seb Derm is caused by Candida overgrowth?
I found that decades of our family members' seborrheic dermatitis went away when each gave up wheat gluten. My husband was amazed in 3-4 weeks his life long bouts with psoriasis went completely away!
Thx for the reply! I’ve been gluten free for at least 8months. I wonder it is another trigger or Candida issue. Any else with Seb Derm find the cure/relief for them?

Is grapeseed oil okay?
No. Read deep nutrition book
No. I would use avocado oil for frying, cooking or baking or olive oil for sauteing, frying on very low heat, cooking or baking (below 325 degrees Fahrenheit) and topping off on salads and dips.
@@alwaysright5901 olive oil is suppose to be used at room temperature its not a oil used for frying.
@@saraswatkin9226 There's olive oil specifically for sauteing and grilling at 325° Fahrenheit or below. It will say it on the bottle. I wouldn't use it for cooking otherwise. Dr. Gundry, a cardio surgeon said olive oil can't be cooked with is a myth.
Thank you so much !
Thank you gor the guide.Had OAT test that indicated candida though stool test was negative though Akkermansia was showing low levels. Been prescribed Nystatin and only Akkermansia. Should i be taking others like S.Boullardia?
Thank you Doc
You’re very welcome :) Thank you for watching and being here!
Had candida for years with white tongue. Now I am on biofilms to help dissolve candida permanently and on keto diet.
Can you consume raw horse milk when you have candida? Some say it will rebalance your gutflora
Is the carnivore diet also considered an "elemental diet"?
Hi there! The carnivore diet isn’t an elemental diet, but can be considered a very strict type of elimination diet.
An elemental diet is different from an elimination diet, because, rather than whole foods, it involves a person consuming only a highly digestible/pre-digested medical food replacement formula for the duration of therapy.
@@DrRuscioDC thank you very much
What if the vitamins in the carnivore diet are the same in the powders and the carnivore diet is low key the elemental diet in nature?
@@YvefuturaHi there! It’s still not an elemental diet. An elemental diet formula consists of pre-digested nutrients, amino acids, simple carbohydrates. Think of it as the base components, or “elements,” of food. It’s a specific, special formulation. So, while a carnivore diet can be a very effective elimination diet, and the foods included in it may be nutrient-dense, it simply isn’t the same thing.
Thank you.
Bravo ! I think you are right !!
Thank you!!!
Thank You for Your Sensitive and Informative sharing. Really appreciated.
Plz help mi my candida overgrowth
I started on the Keto diet in March, I have more energy, sleep better and removed many ailments. No one I know experiences low energy as you describe. Do you have research papers that clarify this? What you describe is Keto, no sugar, no starchy vegetables, low sugar fruits, monitor carbs. If you trying to reverse diabetes then your carbs would be very low for Carbs turn to sugar.
I’m so glad to hear it’s worked for you! Some people experience negative effects (even after the initial adjustment period, where some are to be expected), so it may not be ideal for those people. We go over low-carb/keto diets more on this episode of the podcast: drruscio.com/low-carb-keto-diets-bad-gut-health/.
does the elemental shake have stevia? def interested but cant stand stevia. ty
This information is all over the map. Good luck trying to get good information out of this video
Is okay to have coconut milk?
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Thanks for these videos, Dr. Michael. I have one question, which I hope you could cover in a future video:
What about Oxalates? SIFO & Candida can cause a lot of oxalate as a byproduct---if the overgrowth is severe---and with heavy leaky gut it's easy to absorb high amounts of the oxalates from these plant foods. Causing a double whammy. Especially if the diet is higher in oils and lower in calcium. Would love to know how to navigate this.
Also, what's your take on no-plant GAPS to rebuild gut after years of dysbiosis, mold / CIRS, CPTSD etc? Would love a look into that diet on your channel. Seems to be helpful for those of us who just can't move the needle and react to so much---besides doing Primal Trust and other limbic retraining.
I want to add that Elemental Diet is what caused my severe SIFO overgrowth. So we got to be careful aproaching this. It only beame a problem over time with prolonged use, as oral thrush developed and it began spreading to throat etc.
Is avena/porridge okay to eat?
Thank you
Thank you Dr you are great
Thank you so much!
Agreed!! 🎉
What about tofu for protein? Also, doesn't most protein powder have added sugar?
Yes
I did a candida stool test and I'm safe but when I drink coffee and tea my tongue turns yellowish or brown and it causes halitosis, when I brush my tongue it's mostly gone. What could be the reason?
Stomach heat
Same…Coffee beans can be moldy causes yeast overgrowth. I have to cut it out. This and processed sugar. Its an imbalance of good vs bad bacteria and possibly candida causing it. I tried so much. Only probiotic i found that may help bring balance was sour milk. If they have that in your country you could try it. But if you got sibo then it may make it worse. You can always try it, shouldnt hurt.
@@AnalogFlava thanks
Dairy in the coffee ?
Great Presentation, very informative!
Whole wheat? doesn’t that turn to sugar after it metabolize. I think what evolves down to is everybody’s microbiome is different and you have to feed and watch what you eat accordingly.
Green beans are low on the glycemic index. Watermelon is 72, which is high.
Doesn't Udi's have sugar?
I took 2000IU of vitamin D and it feels like it’s working since I will be taking that much I have to get another bottle
Careful bot to take too much. It can be toxic and severe side effects can occur! K2 is a must with D3 large doses! Check up on it!!!
great video
Thank you so much you are a hero! The last bit got me worried as you inferred that candida can cause IBD like in those 2 children, but I've never heard this correlation before. Please put my mind at ease :)
Thank you for your kind words! And while it’s possible there is a correlation, that doesn’t mean it’s destined to happen to everyone who suffers with candida. But that’s another reason why trying to treat or curtail it is so important, in addition to relieving symptoms and elevating quality of life.
@@DrRuscioDC Could they not just have both instead of one causing another? As IBD is obviously a type of dysbiosis anyway there are likely to be conditions alongside it anyway like candida or sibo?
Any thoughts on Allulose?
We’ve used allulose in some of our meal replacement products and find that it’s generally well-tolerated in patients with GI disorders.
@@DrRuscioDC I second your fact 🎉🎉🎉🎉
This candida has disturbed me since 2019,and it's connected to me getting headaches vomiting when i eat wrong 😒
I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with that. I really hope you start feeling better soon!
I think another contributor to all overgrowths are certain medications such as opiates.
Hi i take codeine for back pain do you mean those ?
i have it for 6 months and i feel like a psychotic robot. chronic fatique, depressions, This Mf Candida is like a f.... Labyrinth .everybody say different things. hopefully everybody would heal fast from that damn thing🙏 greetings from germany ✌
Tried everything, keto diet, Candida diet, natural Candida supplements, gluten free diet, grain free diet, low histamine diet for almost a year but still not improved, still bad symptoms. Very stressful last year still ongoing and mould issue in the house now dealing with but seems no ending
Do dry fasting and low carb diet or carnivore diet
I have had pretty good results with lowering candida by brushing my teeth and tongue as well as flossing right after eating.
Maybe you have heavy metal toxicity, like mercury in in your root canal.
Have to rinse mouth with salt or vinegar or oregano or have fennel or cloves in mouth. Something low stress but anti yeast. Dont give it chance to grow. Lots of choices just has to be full time job. Sleep with mouth closed. Brush after every time you eat anything. Brush with coconut oil with salt and or soda tea tree or peppermint. Lots of rest and sleep and good exercise. Drink a lot to flush it out. ACV good but dilute and rinse off teeth.
Try low carb or carnivore diet.
All starches feed candida in me seen I'm mercury toxic.
Eating raw ripe fresh organic alkaline produce including fruir plus various herbs helped me get better.
But the root cause like heavy metal toxicity needs to be remedied.
Elemental diet is very expensive making it prohibitive for many please make an affordable low carb version… eg keto elemental
brown rice is white rice with the hull on it. . . Crazy to be able to eat brown, but not white !
What about using probiotic while having candida?
Yes, several types work well. He listed some.
Dr. Can you make a video about High Zonulin and how to get rid of? And does it lead to high histamine level? Does it dizziness and hyperthyroidism?
Thank you ❤
Hello. Nystatin: we hats the dose, please? 🙏
