Candida Diet...?
Hi! I just have a question about this "yeast-free diet" that someone posted about earlier.
I've been dealing with a recurrent yeast infection, which then turned into BV, and then back into a yeast infection. So I read the post below about persistent yeast infections and saw the post about eliminating yeast from your diet.
So anyway, I did a search online and found a list of yeast-free foods and a list of foods that are not allowed on a Candida Diet. I started this diet 3 days ago and my symptoms are almost completely gone.
My question now is... how long do I have to stay on this diet? I started it hoping it would work, which it seems to have done, but with the holidays coming up, I don't know if I'll be able to avoid all the foods that I'm not supposed to eat. If I eat foods with yeast, will my yeast infection come back?
I'd appreciate any advice on this...thanks!

Hi, I am new to to this site and just read your post.....I was told to look up the yeast free thing,,,,I am in such pain all the time and...OH, long story,,,,Anyway, I don't ever get a yeast infection, ever.....So what would yeast have to do with me being in pain?
i had this problem last month and went to a nutrionalist at a health food store and she recommended acidophilus on a daily basis. i also started eating kim chi, which i had to get used to (its a spicy korean fermented cabbage dish) but it contains the good bacteria in it. i would think if you do things in moderation (anything not on your list) you should be ok, but our bodies ph levels are constantly changing and everythin effects that. same w/ our bacteria levels. maybe go to your local health food store and ask some questions. they usually have a nutritionalist on site.
