As do I!! Its a real toughie giving up refined sugar, BUT...I'm a sugar addict through and through and I've managed it - I was GF and sugar free for about 3 months before I even found Heather and her diet and now I'm doing it again, as I od'd on the sugar again!!! Personally, I have only given up refined sugar, and anything with added sugars, even honey, am only eating fruit and fructose, but not a huge amount - as I couldn't go without my bananas. I have given up bread for the time being as well, as obviously this is yeasty. I have a Candida diet book if you would like me to post some recipes and what you can/can't eat on the boards?! Let me know. Nik x Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Probiotics       #166909 - 04/04/05 12:16 PM Edit Reply Quote Dia Reged: 02/04/05 Posts: 175 Loc: Tucson, AZ Hi, Hello fellow Arizonan! Just making sure you're taking your probiotics or at least eating some soy yoguhrt, too, right? I've been told that helps with a yeast infection. --Myra -------------------- IBS-D Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Certainly does....       #166917 - 04/04/05 12:22 PM Edit Reply Quote nikjones_uk Reged: 01/04/05 Posts: 700 It will help restore your good bacteria that will hopefully over populate the bad bacteria in your tum!! Also taking a prebiotic as well, will help those little things have more of a chance in there!!

The doctor told me to try and cut down on sugar too..

Chuck out or give away any tempting foods in the house. I found that fruit, esp. tinned fruit, helped me get over the first bunch of cravings. And a bit og hony in stuff can start to seem like such a luxury! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
