tapioca flour??

Hi, Is tapioca starch actually a starch? does this stuff feed candida? I want to make some pancakes with buckwheat/brown rice flour and some of the recipes I have found use tapioca flour (starch) in them.. I have read that I should not even be eating brown rice PERIOD on the candida diet.. basically I am trying to find out for real because I want this stupid disease gone and I am willing to do nearly anything to get rid of it.

bye for now,
