Erica White's Beat Candida Cookbook - By: Mrs. K. L. Thompson, 23 Feb 2007 
This is the best money I have ever spent. Having suffered for years with a yeast infection which over the counter drugs have no impact on, I was desperate! This diet is NOT for the faint hearted! For the first two week I was suicidal (well almost) but now five weeks down the line I can feel the benefit. It's working & as an added bonus I have lost a stone in weight already. The hard work is not over for me yet but I can finallly see light at the end of the tunnel. The book takes you through a four point plan, you MUST follow this to the letter. Everything is explained thoroughly & you learn what certain foods do & how your body reacts to them. Supplements are recommended & there is information at the back for suppliers. The recipes are great & helped me get more inventive with the ingredients I was able to eat. You have to forgo a lot: alll types of sugar fructose, lactose etc so no milk or fruit, no cheese, mushrooms, bread other than soda bread, tea or coffee the list goes on but don't despair you can live & have tasty food. If you suffer with a yeast/candida infection this book will definitely help, it is a must have.
Super, so helpful - By: IntoBooks, 22 Feb 2007 Thank you, Erika White, for producing a book that gives alll the necessary & useful information on what Candida is & how to beat it in an easily accessible, compact form, great to read first time as well as over again, & to dip into for double-checking & reference. Since this is written by a nutritionist who also suffered from Candidiasis herself, I felt I was in most competent & understanding hands - very much needed with a tricky & upsetting problem like Candida. This book is a true companion on the road to recovery, to lean on in the beginning, which can be tough, & along the way. It helps me understand what is going on in my body, to recognise & handle the symptoms I am experiencing, both before & during the diet & treatment program.
The best part for me is the recipe section. The pure & simple facts could be retrieved from other books (even though many of them are not written as concisely) but the main question I needed an answer to was, "So how do I still feed myself?", especiallly as I have to live a particularly restricting diet (no gluten, no dairy). Erika White has considered alll of these problems & gives wonderfully practical solutions which enable the sufferer to still make their foods taste good.
Simply invaluable to me: A bread recipe free of ingredients that contain gluten or dairy. I've been hunting for this for years, a true life saver! My heartfelt thanks to the author.

So helpful!!!!!! - By: , 08 Feb 2005 This book was so useful to myself & my husband & confirmed our suspicions of us having candida.
After seeing specialists & being told that the NHS "do not recognise candida", we knew we'd have to make ourselves better.
This book tells you everything you need to know about candida & overcoming it, with lots of recipes too.
