		<title>Comment on I&#8217;m allergic to yeast!?! by Sandra</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Sandra - I totally agree. I read one thing and I think I&#039;m doing a decent job following a yeast-free diet, I read another and I find out it&#039;s even more restrictive. I&#039;m no expert on this, but this is my approach. 

I follow the guidelines from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.womentowomen.com/digestionandgihealth/candida.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;womentowomen.com&lt;/a&gt;. This is an excerpt from the site:

1.  Avoid yeast-containing foods:

Beer, wine, and all other forms of alcohol
Breads, rolls, pretzels, pastries, cookies, and sweet rolls
B–complex vitamins and selenium products, unless labeled “yeast–free”
Vinegar or foods containing vinegar, such as mustard, salad dressings, pickles, barbeque sauce, mayonnaise
Commercially prepared foods such as soups, dry roasted nuts, potato chips, soy sauce, cider, natural root beer, olives, sauerkraut

2.  Avoid mold-containing and mold-supporting foods:

Pickled, smoked or dried meats, fish, and poultry
Cured pork bacon
All cheese, aged or fresh
Mushrooms
Tempeh
Soy sauce, tamari, and miso
Peanuts, peanut products, and pistachios
Herbs and teas that may be moldy
Malt or foods containing malt
Canned or prepared tomatoes (fresh tomatoes are fine)

3.  Avoid all concentrated sugars:

Honey, maple syrup, brown sugar
Fruit juices (canned, bottled, or frozen)
Dried fruits
All processed sugar
Anything containing high-fructose corn syrup
High glycemic index foods

&lt;strong&gt;What foods can you eat in a Candida diet?
&lt;/strong&gt;
All fresh vegetables — a large variety, raw or lightly steamed, is best; be sure to include dark green leafy vegetables.
Fresh protein at every meal, including beef, chicken, fish, turkey, eggs, and shellfish. Organic is best, but fresh is essential.
Complex carbohydrates, including grains (rice, buckwheat, barley, millet, couscous), whole grain oatmeal, beans (kidney, lima, red beans), and certain types of pasta (whole wheat, spelt, corn, rice). Be careful not to get too many carbs — 15 grams per meal maximum.
Unprocessed nuts and seeds, except peanuts.
Unrefined olive, sesame, safflower and corn oils (be sure to keep them in the refrigerator after opening to prevent spoiling).
Lemon juice with oil for salad dressing — this may be a prepared product, but be careful to avoid any salad dressing that contains vinegar.
Beverages such as mineral or spring water, soy milk, and unprocessed nut milks.
Limited quantities of fruit (three daily), unless you see a reaction, then limit to twice weekly. Avoid grapes, raisins, dates, prunes and figs.

&lt;strong&gt;I&#039;m taking these supplements&lt;/strong&gt;: Candidiastat and S Boullardi probiotic (as well as a yeast-free B complex, vit D, and a women&#039;s multi-vitamin, I occasionally take yeast-free &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&amp;keywords=floradix&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;index=aps&amp;hvadid=2970026811&amp;ref=pd_sl_994uareyev_b&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Floradix&lt;/a&gt;

	&lt;li&gt;To deal with not having a glass of wine now and then and my beloved margaritas, I slice lime and lemons and freeze them. Then I pour myself a glass of sparkling water in a wine glass, add a couple of slices of lime and sip. 
&lt;li&gt;I also eat plain yogurt with half a banana mashed up and some homemade granola (which I do not sweeten). 
&lt;li&gt;I do eat raw nuts and seeds (I&#039;ve noticed some books suggest avoiding these, but I don&#039;t because I feel they are ok for me and I like the protein they provide). 
&lt;li&gt;I poach eggs for breakfast (without using vinegar, which I find tastes better anyways).
&lt;li&gt;I eat a spoonful of almond butter now and then.
&lt;li&gt;I depend on my Vitamix blender to blend all sorts of dressings. Today I blended a few handfuls of watercress, a clove of garlic, a cup or so of really great olive oil and some shallots. I had this on fresh ground lamb with curry and sea salt, over arugula and mixed greens. It was delicious.&lt;/li&gt;
 
I&#039;ve checked these cookbooks out of the library for recipe inspiration:

	&lt;li&gt;The Candida Control Cookbook
&lt;li&gt;The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook&lt;/li&gt;

....though I did find that they&#039;re much more restrictive than what my naturopath suggested. 

Best of luck....let me know how it goes. I&#039;d love any suggestions you have. I think the upside to this is that the food we can eat is really fresh and tasty. And I&#039;m hoping once I get this yeast back in balance, I&#039;ll enjoy my glass of wine, that much more.]]></description>
