Stevia is an herb that has been used as a sweetener in by native peoples in South America for hundreds of years. Stevia is incredibly sweet, 30 to 100 times sweeter than sugar. A recipe for cookies sweetened with stevia may call for only 1/4 teaspoon to sweeten the whole batch. Stevia contains no calories and it does not affect blood sugar levels.
The sweetening agent in stevia, called stevioside, does not feed yeasts in the intestines like sugars. Therefore Stevia is okay to use as a sweetener for those suffering from candidiasis, a condition of yeast overgrowth in the intestines.
All natural sweeteners, even fructose, feed yeasts, which makes even fruit and brown rice syrup off limits to someone suffering from candidiasis

Of all the rules of food combining that have been proposed, two emerge as the most important in terms of their impact on digestive health.

Links
1. Eat fruits alone or leave them alone (Fruit is best eaten at least 20 minutes before other food or 2 hours after a meal)

2. Do not combine proteins and starchy vegetables at the same meal. Proteins and green vegetables are a perfect combination.

Disregarding these rules can slow digestion resulting in much gas and bloating

Many oils are hydrogenated, which increases shelf life at a high cost to consumer health. This process involves the use of extremely high temperatures and super-saturation of the oil with hydrogen. Hydrogenation of oils results in the formation of unnatural trans-fatty acids. These trans-fatty acids interfere with the body’s ability to utilize essential fatty acids. Medical research has proven that the human consumption of trans-fatty acids increases cholesterol, LDL (the bad form of cholesterol”) while decreasing HDL (the “good cholesterol”) all of which increase the risk of heart disease. Trans-fatty acids are also suspected of causing certain cancers, including breast cancer.

Spelt is a natural, nonhybrid grain related to wheat. Easier to digest than wheat, spelt is often tolerated by gluten-sensitive people. It also tops wheat in protein, amino acids, minerals and B vitamins. The cooked kernels have a sweet, nutty taste and rice like texture. Whole-grain spelt pasta is nutritious alternative to traditional semolina pasta.
