I use NuNaturals stevia whenever I can get it (it's not sold in Canada yet), but NOW brands is a close second for me. I would avoid trying to sweeten chocolate with nothing but stevia--in that case, the bitterness of the chocolate seems to be weirdly enhanced by the stevia if you use too much (I go for a "70% cacao"-type taste). I did use NuNaturals in the pudding, though. :) I should also mention that it became impossible to keep up this list--so I haven't updated recently. You can find all the <a href="http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/category/dessert/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">desserts </a>(the ACD-friendly ones will show up first, the older ones at the end), by clicking on the <a href="http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/category/dessert/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">"dessert" category </a>at right (you might need to wade through some Wellness Weekend posts--not all desserts there are ACD-friendly). :D I never realized how close it is to OCD, either–ha!!

(I've never used that acronym before and I can't get over how close to OCD it is-lol) I have been sweetening my tea with stevia and it has been a lifesaver for me b/c I have a big sweet tooth. What kind do you use? I use NuNaturals which is supposed to have no bitter aftertaste, and I can say that is seems to hold up to it's claims (so far) but I haven't tried it with chocolate yet. Just wondering if that's what you used here in the pudding. Wow, what a great collection of ACD desserts!

It can be truly horrendous, and it requires a lot of patience and determination to stick with it. . . but it will get better (even if it takes a bit longer than you wish it would!). There are so many people out there's who've changed their diets and lifestyle to conquer the candida that I've read about or heard from. I really believe it's something from which we can regain our health with persistence. Hang in there. And good luck with it! Bet, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with candida.

Its been incredible reading all of your fans responses today to your scrumptious recipes-it gives me strength to continue my journey.

Unfortunately, those sweeteners do NOT work for everyone in the early stages of the diet--and I know this because I'm one of the people for whom they don't work. I was <strong>absolutely not able </strong>to eat coconut/palm sugar, agave or maple syrup during the first year or so of the ACD regime. Even today, if I consume something with maple syrup (even just a wee bit), I have to be very, VERY careful the following day to eat a completely sweetener-free menu, or else my candida symptoms return within 24 hours. For people with milder forms of the syndrome, I know that agave and coconut sugar are fine after the first week or so. In my case, and anyone else who has a very difficult case, it is essential to be very careful and avoid all sweeteners except stevia until stage one has been completed. Coconut sugar is lower gylcemic and I love it, but it does still convert to glucose in the blood, and that can cause problems with candida. Hi Michelle,

I finally found a doctor in Colorado that used to suffer from this as well. She put me on her variation of the diet and in one month, I was symptom free. I kept on the plan for two additional months and then ate normally. Until a month ago, I have been symptom free for two years. I went back to the diet and its already working. With that said, I wanted to let you know that other sugar are okay to eat in moderation that "wont" feed Candida They are: Light Agave, Palm sugar (Which is coconut sugar) and surprisingly "100% pure" maple syrup.(Its a bit pricy but worth it $8 - $12) I used all of these sugars daily and was able to stop my candida in its tracks.
