How much sugar, carbs, and alcohol is

okay and how much is too much?

===>This is always the ? and it varies from week to week. So you never know

until it's too late.

Unbelievably it is never sugar that gets us, and of course, she doesn't drink

but rather, it is carbohydrates, here, that appear to tip the balance. And

knowing that sugar is eventually converted to carbs, this is surprising to me

but she can eat honey or even have chocolate or lollipops without creating yeast

problems.

And it doesn't seem to matter if we keep the carbs complex, although refined

carbs cause much more problems.

You might try a yeast free diet, but it means no bread, or only sourdough made

with Lacibilcillus, and of course, no cheese or berries, so no wine :-( And I

HATE to leave out berries as they are such a good source of nutrients,

antioxidants, etc.

One more question -- am I right that the mag sulfate in Epsom's is not related

foods?

----------------------------------

Yes. I recall Andy saying that sulfate needs to go in as sulfate, so epsom

salt baths directly supply sulfate. I think he said that sulfur foods may not

get converted into sulfate, if you have some problem in that pathway, so doesn't

recommend relying on sulfur foods for sulfate. But you said you are low

cysteine, so sulfur foods should be ok for you. But I think I remember TK

saying that he was low cysteine, but still didn't do well with sulfur foods, so

who knows. I would go by how they make you feel. Don't they say you can get

sensitive to any food that you eat too much of or every single day? Could you

try rotating some of these foods?---------Jackie

I have similar questions in my mind too, Nell.

I went sugar free, low carb, and no alcohol (okay, 2 glasses of wine) and

almost no cheese to

beat back that fungal infection I had. Now I'm wondering what it will take to

maintain? Will it

get worse again when I start doing more rounds? How much sugar, carbs, and

alcohol is

okay and how much is too much?

I know we're not supposed to discuss Huggins here, and I don't know if he is

correct on this or not, but he says your triglycerides (part of your lipid

panel) is the measurement of your dietary sins, especially sugar, caffeine and

alcohol, and that it should be 100 or less. So just thought I'd throw that

in.----------Jackie

Good luck,
