yeast overgrowth and UC

[Guest guest]

I have seen the issue of yeast overgrowth referenced alot on this list but know

very little about it...basically all that I know is that it is a problem. Is

this tied in with UC in some way? Do all UC sufferers have it? How do you assess

if it is an issue for you and does having it slow down the healing power of SCD?

Hi Eileen,When I it was suggested I had a yeast overgrowth, this page about yeast on pecanbread.com was informative for me. http://pecanbread.com/p/how/yeast.html

If you are interested in how to manage yeast with diet check out the Candida files in the 'files' section of the website (slightly above 'applications' on the menu at the webstie).~

Anyone

with a digestive disorder ends up dealing with a yeast/candida overgrowth –

comes with the territory. Of course people without a digestive disorder

often have to deal with yeast as well. Our gut ecology and our immune

system normally keep our yeast levels in check, but when problems develop with

our gut ecology, then the immune system is often unable to do all the work and

the yeast start overpopulating our bodies.

Not

everyone is affected by a yeast overgrowth in the same way. Some have no

symptoms, others are troubled greatly. Time on SCD will deal with the

problem, but some of us find we need to adjust our food choices or use an

antifungal to help get the yeast levels under control more rapidly.

I

noticed someone gave you a link to the yeast information on pecanbread.com.

The information is also in our group Files, although I need to update the

documents. There is also plenty of information on yeast/candida in books

and online; just remember to apply SCD “rules” to the

recommendations and suggestions you find there.
