thank you all for the encouragement. I have been on program for a month- this is the longest I have gone in 12 years! before caving in- usually just a week or 2 and I am back to eating bad. I am determined this time to continue for the long haul.. and with the candida I know I need to eat this way for life. I Have been taking probiotics and am breaking out worse with more ezcema patches.. but I read it gets worse before better.
