| I recently found by default that I am suffering from Candida Overgrowth and set out to find all the information on it that I could. I found a lot of books that told me what I needed to do and eat; however, I had trouble with finding any that had recipes of the kinds of meals or foods that I like to eat. Then I found this cookbook! It explained about Candida and gave a list of possible symptoms, and then it gave a list of what a Candida sufferer should and should not eat, and gave some information on some of the ingredients that it uses in the recipes. It explained the connection between Allergies and Candida, as well. I hadn't really made the connection. I love this cookbook. Now, I can watch what ingredients go into the meals that I eat and I can really enjoy eating them (instead of choking them down) when they have been prepared! I waste less food and fewer ingredients! It contains recipes that are free of Sugar, Yeast, Wheat, Corn, Dairy and Egg. Other books that I have really gotten good use out of are "The Body Ecology Diet", "Allergies and Candida with the Physicist's Rapid Solution", and "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook". "Allergy and Candida Cooking Made Easy" has a wonderful baked chicken recipe that I thought was wonderful! "Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" has a Guacamole recipe that is absolutely delicious! I didn't concider that I would be able to eat anything like those again! I could go on and on; but the best way to know the simple (almost back to "meat and potatoes") recipes is to try this cookbook. The guidelines have REALLY WORKED FOR ME! |

| I would recommend Allergy and Candida Cooking Made Easy to anyone who suffers with food allergies and or candida. This book is so much more than just a cookbook, there's a lot of helpful information that would benefit anyone with these kinds of health issues. I didn't know anything about rotation dieting, this book not only helps set up that kind of food regimen but it has the weekly shopping list to go by as well. I'm sold on this book and highly recommend it to others. |

This is an excellent book and I have been using it during my cleansing
of all foods but veggies and proteins for the past month. I have never
felt starved which is amazing. Along with this way of well-being eating, and supplements, I have not felt lethargy, joint pain and bloatedness for the past three weeks. This is a very helpful book for finding out how food affects our energy and pain symptoms. Along with eating healthy comes a lot of cooking though!! After feeling so good, I now prefer to give up some of my busy life to devote to my health and well-being. |

| This book was useful for a number of things - easy cooking directions, lots of recipes, and information on how to set up a rotational diet. Additionally it includes basic instruction for those of us (me!) who don't cook. It did seem to introduce sugar a bit soon to the diet as compared to other books and it did not incorporate other good nutritional theory as a base (such as food combining, acid/akaline theory, blood type theory, etc.). I used much of the information in this book, but modified it to incorporate things that work for me, such as not combining carbs and protein in one meal, limiting certain foods like tomatoes, using vegetable glycerin for a sweetener, and etc. Other very good references are The Body Ecology Diet (Gates), the Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook (Martin), The Candida Control Cookbook by Burton, and The Cure for All Diseases (Dr. Clark). A tip: Go slow & don't overwhelm yourself with all this new information at one time! It's a big change to go from limited time in a kitchen to spending most of your free time cooking. I've found it helps to cut out as many social obligations as you can while you rebuild your immune system and it really helps to pray for the strength to stick with the changes you want to make! |
