Melinda C. in Mass. I love your description of Yeast is like a narcotic and it's vicious. It's the best description I've seen and I'm going to remember that to continue sticking to the anti-candida diet. Thanks. Deb Churan wrote: Hi! Thanks. I am just so hungry all of the time I am trying

to get myself used to a whole different lifestyle. i am not one to cook and I have to make all these meats and chickens. I just want to nourish my baby. I am only 6 weeks pregnant and when I found out I had another yeast infection I was ready to give in to the diet. My doctor is fine with it. I am just a little nervous about losing weight on it though. I am 111 lbs now and dont want to get much lower than that. I dont feel I eat enough during the day because there are so many restrictions. I was looking the diet on the on the internet and there are so many contradictions to what you can and want you cant eat. Some say some fruits are ok and some say no fruits. Some say oatmeal is ok and some say it isnt. It is the same with Milk and chesse. Can you tell me what you eat on a typical day that is yeast free? Thanks, Debbiespanishmiss430

I know it is SOOOO hard but yeast is absolutely vicious - you can't feed it even a little if you are serious about killing it. The length of time it takes is different for everyone, but some people find they need to make permanent lifestyle changes - if you just do an elimination diet and then go right back to eating junk again, it can come right back, especially if you are prone to it. I am totally gluten-free permanently. I have been craving carbs during pregnancy as well and have let myself have some gluten-free breads, which I normally wouldn't even do that (still too many carbs!). So it just

depends on how serious you are about it. It can be very stressful to deny yourself the foods you want, so you have to weigh that stress against the benefits of killing the yeast. Are you doing the Yeast Connection Diet? Body Ecology Diet? The Body Ecology Diet has a lot of fermented foods in it which taste yucky if you're not used to them, but they help kill those carb/sugar cravings. Yeast is like a narcotic...it wants to be fed and you can have pretty bad withdrawl symptoms and cleansing symptoms, which is why I didn't think they were recommended for pregnancy.Melinda C. in Mass.
