Some only exacerbate when eaten in larger amounts (eggs) and some would take a small bit to exacerbate (berries). ... When I began eating RZC I transitioned into a 1-2 meal a day plan with plenty of intermittent fasting (at least 16 hours a day). The Tinea slowly but surely receded. The past couple months I'd been eating 3 meals a day, with plenty of protein, and the Tinea has gotten noticeably bad. .. I will utilize it all and not have left overs to feed fungus.
I got an itchy rash while I was eating only fruit, and eating it multiple times per day. The thing was, I got the itchy rash after doing what J Furhman MD just then told me to do. I had been vegan for 23 years and he knew it and I had no intention of changing, but he told me I needed egg white. I tried one for him, and the itchy rash is what resulted. I never should have listened to a word he said. His advice was bad for me in more than that too. I was not sure what I should have done, as other alternative health professionals had also told me to eat egg earlier, and I ignored that advice. I thought maybe I should give their advice a chance to help me. I also got rashes as a child after eating cooked acid like pasta sauce or drinking concentrated orange juice or ripe strawberries. Other berries were fine. I got rashes also from any soap. These last two, I was eating a somewhat SAD diet (although much less SAD than I read what that is in these forums).
I was never diagnosed with candida, tinea or eczema, except once (yeast) as a young teen while I was on multiple antibiotics. As a younger child, my rashes never got seen at by a professional. I was diagnosed with systemic lupus about ten years ago, but tested negative on the candida. It was the kind of lupus you don't get from medications, as shown clearly by the patterns in the anti-nuclear antibodies. I wasn't on medication anyway, except THYROID HORMONE. Still, many professionals say all those with lupus have candida problems.
I don't think it's the fungus that causes your tinea to flair up. I think it has something to do with fecal matter in the colon.
Take me for example, I have eczema issues and like you I always thought "candida candida candida". If I over eat, and got constipated then things would flare up badly, but if my colon was kept pretty regular I'd be really good. Now I've also done juice fasts where I drank unlimited amount of juice, sugary and pasturized crap. I also used enemas regularly to make sure my colon was always squeaky clean.
After three straight weeks on only plain water and no food, so my colon was fairly empty, as my body 'ate' contents as food, I got my first rash in years that looks to me in relation to food. I ate very little after that, about one piece of fresh fruit, not much more, each "meal". I didn't use any enemas, if I remember right. I did use them about ten or fifteen years earlier.
I was not RPD at the time but vegetarian. But what I tried was I ate very small amount of rice (small handfull perhaps) and I ate insane amounts of coconut oil alongside. I was getting plenty of calories and enough fiber from the rice to have regular bowel movements (small ones) and what happened was that my eczema cleaered 100%. Vanished. Also a key factor in this was the fact that I was training muay thai 4 hours a day so my metabolism was like a furnace.
That's good to know. Was it hard eating the coconut oil? When I got the itchy rash on 99% fruit, I wasn't doing martial arts. I barely had strength in my muscles to do anything, but walk or rest. I could do much more recently before that, when I was eating a much more varied diet. My metabolism had just changed. Prior, my thyroid was hypoactive. On the fruit my thyroid numbers improved. I wasn't eating any goitrogens (no cabbage, no millet, no peaches, no strawberries, no nightshades).
Shampoo gives my little girl eczema under her ears.
Detergent in dish wash and clothing can also give you eczema. Other environmental factors.
Stress, emotional trauma are also culprits.
Soap used to give me itchy rashes.
When I got an itchy rash from an egg white, the local MD told me it was from my clothes instead. I don't believe they were correct.
As fruitarian I got that rash. I was very sensitive, not irritable emotionally, but weak physically and open to anything that way. I was then in situations that would be emotionally trying and traumatic for anyone though.
I hope this helps, even without the actual eczema or candida diagnosis, nor ever loads of starches during rash times.
