I understand what you are talking about concerning yeast infections (e.g. Candidiasis). Although there is controversy about the efficacy of popular diets in controlling yeast infections. There is little clinical evidence to show low refined carb diet actually eliminates yeast infections. It may people feel better because it is a healthful diet
I was addressing the statement "I have problems any time I eat bread with yeast; get gassy and bloated". Yeast in bread is killed during baking. Bread yeast cannot not grow in the GI tract if it is dead.

Hi, apologises for my delay in responding to your message. The link I was attempting to send was Heather's advice on incorporating whole grains and insoluble fibre into your diet. Sorry it didn't work, you can find the information on Heather's page, following the link on the left entitled 'diet and recipes.'
Yes, I'm following the EFI and FODMAP guidelines. Below is a list of the foods I eat on a regular basis:
Grains/starches:-Oatmeal, potato and sweet potato, white rice, rice pasta, rice noodles, gluten-free bread and quinoa. Cornflakes, rice cereals
Fruits:-banana, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, tomatoes, eggplant, orange/grapefruit juice
Vegetables:-carrot, green beans, parsnips,
Fats:-olive oil, olive spreads, nuts, peanut butter,
Meats/milk:-oat/rice milk, poultry, fish, seafood, egg whites
Extras:-brown/white sugar, herbal teas, homemade jam, vinegar, wheat-free soy sauce
Following Heather's rules, especially regarding insoluble fibre, and how to incorporate it as safely as possible into your diet, I've found that a combination of the two approaches works well. I also take a soluble fibre supplement. I am IBS-C, with distension and bloating.
I hope this helps.

Thank you so much!
Your diet list was very helpful and looks very very similiar to what I am now attempting myself. I am going to avoid the wholegrains I was eating for the time being (high fibre cereal with psyllium, wholegrain spelt bread, brown rice) and stick to the types of food on your list.
How often would you get symptoms now if you don;t mind my asking? (obviously not counting if you eat something naughty!)
I'm aiming to go a whole week with no symptoms at this stage!
Thanks again

You're welcome. Provided I stick to the principles of the diet, combined with the other suggested coping mechanisms (managing stress, getting enough sleep, water and exercise etc), I can generally avoid serious attacks. I still experience some uncomfortable dissention and bloating every week, or every other week, however, given where I was a few years, or even a few months ago, my symptoms have improved dramatically.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck.

I think you were asking mradams this but just in case . . . I don't eat any beans or legumes as also follow the FODMAP diet which limits these as very gas forming
Green beans excepted!

As buttons07 correctly states, no beans area allowed (other than green) on the FODMAP diet. I have tried a range of other beans/legumes, however, they cause me major gas and bloating, which in turn, causes me pain and discomfort. I am not perpetually constipated; however, I am constipation predominant. I, perhaps paradoxically, see a worsening of my constipation symptoms when I attempt to include more IF in my diet.

thank you. sorry for my ambiguous wording, what I meant to ask was whether you always had C or sometimes D. (And also whether C for you means 3 or less BMs per week?)

thank you!
I had no idea beans were not allowed on the FODMAP diet. they are galactans, ie must be limited but there's also Beano which serves well for that...?

Yes, sorry my mistake. I'm always C. I only experience D (the next day) if I drink excessive volumes of alcohol. My C is either, as you say, less than 3 BM a week, and/or daily attempts are very strained and my stools are small, hard and difficult to pass. How do you cope with your C?
