From: EnlightenedPath@...

I am by no means an expert (not yet, anyway ;-). But, I am studying

Nutrition and I have also been doing my own personal research as someone with

auto-immune disorders, yeast overgrowth and excessive weight trying to find

the right diet. The complexities and contradictions can be overwhelming, to

say the least!! I put together a list for myself that I thought I would

share with all of you. Please keep in mind, this is MY personal list and is

not meant to represent what anyone else should or should not do (and some

people may even disagree with some of it) but I wanted to share it anyway in

case anyone finds it helpful.

Take care and eat well,

Kim
