You many want to look into the SCD diet; many Candida sufferers have found relief on this diet and it does help with weight gain.

Some interesting things I found on the SCD website:

What can you tell me about the glycemic index?
According to Elaine, "..I have been following the work on glycemic index for years almost as long as the cholesterol in diet myth!
The first report was about 10 years ago by (believe it or not) a husband and wife team, Drs. Crapo. I wrote to them and asked the question: you are determining the rate by which sugars and starches enter the bloodstream and the slower they enter the bloodstream, the better you judge them to be re raising the blood sugar levels slowly rather than erratically. However, are you ALSO testing to determine if some of these starches are being digested and absorbed at all? In other words, is it not possible that the ones you determine as the good ones since they lower the blood sugar very little, if at all, are not even being absorbed??? They answered and said they were not testing for those which may not be digested or absorbed.

Elaine's comment: Those [foods] which appear to be great according to this stupid glycemic index are probably the most bothersome for us on SCD - they are doing nothing to raise our blood sugar levels but are being fermented by our gut flora and causing them to overgrow or mutate."

It is beginning to seem to me that it all begins in the stomach and if you don’t digest the food properly there, the undigested food moves on and ferments in the colon. Perhaps the stomach is overlooked too often?

It doesn’t seem to matter if the food is ‘low carb’. The SCD is about digesting the food you do eat so that the bad yeast is starved off. They also claim that using probiotics in any form without the proper diet will make matters worse.

Just some food for thought.
