So the allergy tests came back negative. ALL of them. But, I could still be INTOLERANT to things even if I'm not ALLERGIC to them.
So...back to square one.
A friend of my hubby's has yeast (yep, a male). He's on a yeast-free diet. I wanted to buy the book "The Yeast Connection" but we don't really have the money right now to buy the book. So I figure I'll try a yeast-free diet and if I get better, I'll know the culprit! (I really hope it's not yeast--I'm addicted to bread, cous-cous, and soy sauce!)
So I need to know what had yeast and what to eat/what not to eat. I know you can't have sugar...does this mean no pasta because it "turns to sugar"?
Any info. you have (I searched on-line and found people selling their products...not helping guide me in terms of diet...)...I would really appreciate!
Hope everyone is well!

Hi, Ruchie.
I'm curious to see what info people send you... I am being tested for wheat intolerance at the moment. Nobody's mentioned yeast-free yet. We'll see how that turns out. I'm with you, can't imagine not having bread! I don't have any info about yeast-free diets, but have you tried the library? I'm sure there's got to be something- this is a more and more commonly diagnosed thing recently. Good luck.

I don't personally know much about a yeast-free diet, but a good reference for that type of info (without someone trying to sell you stuff) is WebMD. I have found all kinds of diet info for my grandma's diabetes, etc. And I've seen yeast-free products in the health-food area of my local Kroger grocery store. Good luck to you!

Hi Ruchie! Do a board search for this and for candida. You'll see posts by me and I think by Shawn Eric too. Unfortunately, there's pretty much no medical evidence for a system-wide yeast overgrowth in a person's body (outside of systemic infection, which is blood poisoning, which has a high fatality rate and involves an ICU stay in the hospital). And there's no evidence that a yeast-free diet can do much of anything at all. If someone is battling a yeast infection (like vaginal or thrush) avoiding refined sugars can help. But other than that, the whole Yeast Connection theory has been pretty conclusively disproved for quite a few years now. Many a study has tried to prove the concept positive, and ended up proving the exact opposite.
