Of course we have to consume some sugar, it's natural in most vegetables. I do eat tomatoes, but I limit my portion. Read up on the FODMAPS to determine WHAT sugars are fermentable. Like I said, start at the basics and then add other foods. Hard cheeses and butter may not bother some, but both make my breath awful. The FODMAP diet recommends a small amount of avocado, but I'm able to eat a whole one without tummy and/or breath problems. It probably depends on your bacteria.
Some of you may have tried the candida diet in the past but did you stop using sugary toothpastes and mouthwashes. What about "sugarfree gums and mints"? What about seasonings and fruits?
I prepare my meals with basic salt and pepper, paprika, thyme, oregano, Rosemary and other herbs. Today I'm baking chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, celery salt, and red and green bellpepper for additional flavor. I'm roasting Brussel Sprouts (salt pepper olive oil) as a side veggie. Easy no sugar meal. With that I will drink lemon water and/or dry red wine if I want. Yes it's hard to give up sugar but after awhile, you don't even miss it plus you're happy cause you have fresh breath!!! I work with four year olds and a little boy told me last week how good I smelled
