I followed the diet on the knowthecause.com website. It was the gentleman, Doug Kaufmann, who introduced me to the concepts of fungus and disease with his health shows on TV and then his books. I didn't find the diet as restrictive as others I have since read about. Yes, I had to give up bread, potatoes and pasta...all my favorites at one time, but now I don't even miss them....really. I started using the yeast-free bread (sparingly to begin) after the 2 week mark since it is allowed on the phase 2 diet, and gradually increased grains as I went along to see if I would have a relapse. I wanted to be sure they weren't triggers for me. Now, it is different for everyone when to start the phase 2 of the diet. You need to go with your symptoms. Mine literally disappeared after 2 weeks, so I started the phase 2 diet after 2 weeks, and I stayed on the phase 2 for probably 3-4 months, with a few treats now and then  The phase 2 allows you to introduce certain grains, as well as a few other foods (yams, brown rice)that were not allowed on phase 1. If you want me to send you the actual diet, email me and I'll send it to you. The phase 1 is on the above mentioned website, however.
I also believe the key for me was the natural antifungals and probiotics. I don't think diet alone will give you the results you may be looking for, depending on the severity of your condition. Diet is a start, however. Hang in there. You may feel worse before you feel better. You really cannot cheat on the intial part of the diet. You will just undo everything you worked hard for, even with one mouth-watering morsel.
