I realize you're at your limit re: high-protein diets, but I can't help ask whether you've read this? web page
I don't necessarily doubt that high-protein diets are bad for IBS, but suggesting that such diets are bad for everyone and every condition seems highly questionable. What you assume is basic fact and biology is actually highly controversial. People used to be certain that the earth was flat and the center of the universe.

For me, and again I am only speaking for me, I feel much better when I follow a low carb diet. I eat a lot of fresh fruits, veggies, meats, fish, poultry, but reduce grains and try to eliminate refined sugar when I can. I lose the high carb cravings as well after I stay away from them for awhile. I am rarely "hungry" and keep my weight off no problem. For those with a fungal condition (yeast overgrowth),following a low carb diet may be necessary to get well again. I guess that's why I feel so much better.

Can you give an example daily menu that you follow?
and what do you use as a SF cushion? Or don't you.
Thanks

I don't follow any particular "diet" right now, but still stay close to what I used to follow. To help me get better, I followed an antifungal diet. It included:
meats-beef, fish, poultry, eggs
nuts- most except no peanuts or pistachios
veggies- most except no corn, mushrooms, potatoes
beverages- water, water, water, herbal teas
fruits- green apples, all berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries...), grapefruit, lemons, limes, avocados, vegetable juice
Dairy- plain yogurt-no fillers, real butter, sour cream/cream cheese occasionally
Later in the diet-grains such as oats, brown rice,quinoa, buckwheat, millet,amaranth, barley, flour tortillas (no yeast!)
You can see it is really an "un"processed food diet. I ate as much as I wanted of any of the foods listed above. The hardest part was/is the preparation. It is much easier to open a can or box

That makes a lot of sense to me. I was diagnosed with dysbiosis, which implies overgrowth of both fungi and bad bacteria. Right now I'm focusing on the bad bacteria (colloidal silver, grapefruit extract, INsoluble fiber), but soon I will be doing a candida cleanse, and that sounds both appropriate and doable. Might be hard for me not to sneak real cheese every once in a while. I hope to get most of my protein from fish and eggs.
