Is my diet acceptable?
In September of 2025 I started experiencing a anus rash that was just not going away me and I decided to go to the doctor on October 2025 where they told told me I had tinea cruris and was prescribed fluconzole pills for a month, took them and still not much result. Went to another doctor and was told that my condition was more than likely candida overgrowth stemming from bad bulk diet back when I was in a bulking stage during July 2025- mid December 2025. During that time was eating roughly 4000+ calories that consisted of me eating over 6 cups of white ride a day and was eating so much dang peanut butter as I thought it was a cheaper way to make a mass gainer shake (I would have 2 protein shakes a day with a 1 scoop protein powder and over 10-12tbsp pb per shake and I did this for months on this diet🤦🏽♂️). I know it was really stupid of me to be eating like that. During that 2nd visit to the doctors in November 2025 I was given another 4 rounds of fluconazole and also nystin powder that I used for months with very slow results of my rash slowly going away. Went back again during December of 2025 and was given 4 more doses of fluconazole and still had to use the nystin powder. Over the next couple of months I continued using the powder with very slow results till in March 2026 I decided that I needed to do a diet cleanse. For the last 72 days I’ve been on this diet, at first I was eating meals like eggs, , white rice, rotisserie chicken, bell peppers, broccoli, apples with a side of almond butter but what my current diet has been is this as of May 2026 :
Breakfast: Eggs, mushrooms, greenbeans, rolled oats oatmeal with cinnamon, homemade kefir
Lunch: Quinoa, rotisserie chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, diced red onion
1st Dinner: Quinoa, Brocolli, rotisserie chicken, kimchi
2nd Dinner: Quinoa, steak, bell pepper,cauliflower, kimchi

I’ve read online that some candida diet cleanse list oatmeal and mushrooms as foods you can eat while others don’t but is this diet okay for now? Also any idea of how much longer I should stick to this diet for and how can I safely start to reintroduce normal foods when I ease off the candida diet? Tips would be much appreciated!
