I’m working on an updated, slightly expanded version of my Candida Companion Guide and decided to include a few recipes in the book. In the guide I discuss what foods are GREAT, GOOD, and HARMFUL in the quest to defeat candidasis.

Excellent flavor and texture again. It’s a pretty incredible thing to be able to produce crackers from scratch in such a short amount of time. I’m able to make them while soup is simmering for...
