If you are asking about the order in which to reintroduce foods (from a list of fruit, dairy, alcohol, and coffee.) It’s really hard to say because if you’ve already eliminated coffee, my philosophy is, “Why put back something that’s really not healthy for you?” Same with the alcohol.

One of my biggest beefs with coffee is that addicted people use it as their primary beverage. My husband probably drinks 40oz of coffee a day, and he’s following an anti-candida diet that’s not quite as strict, but it’s not quite as liberal as Atkins’ “Ongoing Weightloss” phase of the Atkins Nutritional Approach.
He still has serious problems with headaches, and a lot of it has to do with dehydration. Caffeine is VERY dehydrating, and it seems to me that it’s almost counter-productive to drink the stuff. That’s my main beef with coffee.

With fruit and dairy, it’s a little harder to say. When a person is HEALTHY, I’m not convinced that small amounts of fruit are bad, and I’m not convinced that the right kinds of dairy are all that bad for people who aren’t sensitive to it.

For me, even if dairy didn’t feed my candida, it’s one of the foods that triggers addictive eating for me. Just because it works that way for me though doesn’t mean that organic, raw dairy works that way for everyone.
I just hate to see people resorting primarily to cheese, cream, and yogurt for their protein/fat. I DON’T think that’s healthy. I really think people miss out on important nutrients when they do that.

And fruit… Well, again, if you’re not going overboard, I don’t really think fruit’s all that bad for HEALTHY people in moderation. The problem is, I’ve seen way too many people follow a restricted diet, then try and add foods back in, and by the end, they’re not eating anything resembling healthy at all because they’re only eating the foods that they reintroduced and NONE of the good foods they were eating before.
