Re: Yeast Overgrowth Syndrome????

May 29, 2002

Deborah,

We have heard of yeast infections several times (often from antibiotics). We

have also heard of candida infections, but I have not heard of Yeast Overgrowth

Syndrome specifically. The diet sounds like a fruit and veggie diet to me.

Can't be all bad ) I think there are medicines for yeast infections and it

seems to me I heard that yogurt had bacteria which was good at fighting the

yeast infections, but I'm not sure.

Good Luck,

On pain of being accused of witchcraft:

Yogurt and buttermilk - I had an extensive yeast infections (systemic)

several (10) years ago, my friendly neighbourhood doctor told me to avoid

citrus for two months, drink no alcohol and consume lots of yogurt and

buttermilk. Result I was clear within two months. I still

drink plenty of buttermilk, no yeast infections the entire time - I was

also told, proper bowel movements and no enemas, as they strip valuable

bacteria and other organisms from your digestive tract.

Bill,

I don't have a yeast infection or thrush at present (unless it is hidder or masked like the doc implies) and have not had one since February. That is one of the reasons that I was asking questions about it. Part of me wants to say that this is a logical suggestion that I have not thought of while the other part of me just says.... snake oil salesman.... Ya know?

I'll check out the links and you are right, the diet is a healthy one. went to the grocery store and came home with no meat and no bread and no alcohol and still spent $150.00. He is still in shock.

Hugs,

Deborah aka Tenacity

Hi Deborah,

Years ago I knew a physician, an MD who practiced homeopathic

medicine. Several friends saw this gentleman as their physician and

one thing I always remember was the issue of Yeast. He was always

putting them on yeast free diets. He claimed that a lot of problems

could be contributed to yeast. They all said they felt better when

they were on the diet. More than that I do not know. I believe the

physician moved somewhere back East. I will see if I can find out

anything more. Hope you are having a good day. See you at chat

time? Jan
