I know what you mean about reading things and then becoming totally fearful of foods...I am definitely a "better safe than sorry person". However, just recently I decided since I was feeling better that I would experiment a little because my diet was boring me. Well, I tried eating Italian Chicken Sausage from the whole foods deli. I took the pork casing of and ate one in some sauce w/ pasta. It was great! I had it twice in one week and felt perfect. Then, the next week, I decided I would try this brand of sundried tomato and garlic meatballs because I could buy them at the local grocery store and not travel all the way to whole foods. They also contained no pork. Well let me tell you, I'm still paying 2 days later. I can see chunks in my BM's! and I had D this morning. I know, too much info, but I think I'm heading back to the "safe not sorry" lifestyle. It's just not worth it!
As for the maker of primal defense advocating no yeast, I didn't know that. But I can kind of see it, since garden of life also sells a lot of "fungal defense" products. Very interesting!
Like I said, I personally feel better when I eat bread every day because it is filling and harmless. I of course try not to over do it, but I'll have a few slices a couple times of day just to make sure I never let my tummy get too empty because that's when I really start to feel sick. I can't tell from your posts, but are you feeling better eating yeast free? if it is expensive and you're not, then you might as well stop, right? What kinds of things are you eating these days? I hate knowing that you are still feeling so awful/unstable! I know that when I avoid too many foods I also feel sick because I'm not eating enough period or enough variety to keep my digestive system working optimally. Does that make sense?
So what is on your menus these days?
Maybe we could share some ideas w/ eah other!
Take care! I know how awful it is to fear foods, especially when we still don't know what doesn't hurt us. It's hard.
