Its as far as i read, not enough to just cut out yeast, a sits already overgrown, some other things will still feed it, hence the full candida diet for me.
refined grains will feed it, as will dairy, the sugars occuring naturally in milk do, some suggest no fruit as the fructose will feed yeast overgrowth, others say it wont :-s
You can have eggs, eggs isnt classed as dairy unless you vegan, it doesnt feed the canddia, and veggie omletes are a great meal, you can have cottage cheese, but no ordinary cheese is out im afraid
yup i miss cheese badly.
Grains that wont feed it are..quinoa, millet, buckwheat and rice, though brown rice is best.
I eat alot of hommus, the greek dip, it had chick peas in it, garlic(which kills the yeast)and sesame paste and lemon juice . I also found in my supermarket wheat/gluten/dairy free crackers are nicer than the rice cakes got a bit fed up with them.
Potatoes are fine, so baked potatoe is good, and i found a brekfast cereal online containing millet/rice/buckwheat
flakes nuts in it....im taking that with rice milk and it is nice.
Nuts are fine just not peanuts and pistachios theyre sid to harbour yeast, and if your eating fruit they say peel the fruit as it can hold yeast on the skin, grapes and blueberries tend to have alot of yeast on their skins and that helps keeping away from them.
Spirullina is iron and B vitamin rich, i take tablet form of this and its helped to keep my levels up, and a good probiotic formula is recommended to recolonise the bowel with good bacterium.
I will say as they yeast dies off, you ll feel owrse before better, but once that settles, i can honestly say my thick brain fog has gone!!
You can still have your cake and eat it, ive recently bought a fre yeasy/ wheat/dairy and gluten free cookbooks, and found i can bake using stevia, chick pea flour, rice flour, baking powder and yes i add some fruit, and lemon and orange juice fresh squeezed instead of milk yummy!!
Ive been cooking alot of veggie curries and also found that indian pakora, using gram flour(chickpea flour) some water, some gram masala and a touch of chilli powder, dipping my part cooked cauliflower in it and deep frying is delicious
Mushrooms are out im afraid also, though i love them, theyre fungus and said to be to similar to yeast.
Hope this helps, not an easy one to get head around, but once you have you ll find there are plenty nutritous things to eat, its just a case of rethinking your cooking, which takes time .
if you can handle gluten( i cant) poridge is a good breakfast and filling, veggie yeast free isnt easy, but the benefits are huge, even my mouth isnt as dry, and my eye drops usage has gone down by half
