Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Anyone have experience with this? I'm just wondering if we should follow this and clean up the yeast? It seems like sal/phenol issues, among other things, aren't going to clear up until we deal with the yeast....? Kelley W.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Yes, I have experience in dealing with candida on the systemic level (lots of related symptoms) and being on SCD. People with digestive disorders usually have to deal with yeast/candida issues until their gut ecology is restored, and even then many of us have to be vigilant about what I call the "yeast trigger foods." SCD has eliminated one of the most problematic trigger foods, grains and starches. However there are still plenty of trigger foods in the foods we are allowed to eat, so you may find it helpful to cut back or avoid some of these for a while, depending on your symptoms and how well your digestion is working. I put together some files of information on applying yeast elimination strategies with SCD foods. It is in the group files. Basically you cut back or eliminate those trigger foods for a while, make sure you are getting plenty of acidophilus. You can slowly ease into a more drastic phase, stay there for a month or two, then slowly add back more foods. All depends on your body and how you're feeling. Because my body won't tolerate antifungals, natural or prescription, I had to use food alone to kill off my high levels of yeast/candida. Took me about 2 years total; one year at a very drastic level, then another year of slowly adding back a few trigger foods. I still don't eat many of the SCD-permitted foods, those that happen to also be trigger foods, simply because my digestion won't tolerate them. And anything my digestion doesn't tolerate means extra fermentation and constipation, which leads to a surge in yeast levels. So, even after I have my yeast overgrowth under control, I have to remain somewhat vigilant. It was a relief to feel and see the yeast-related symptoms disappear, and learn how to keep them from returning. I don't miss the SCD-foods I just can't eat, as I eat well with those foods my digestion does tolerate. Kim M.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks, Kim. Are you referring to the document with the different phases of foods? I did read through that and that's what prompted me to ask for others' experience just to see how it worked. I'm interested in doing this with food and not supplements just money-wise! :-) What is the best test to get for determining yeast levels? I've only done the spit test, but we all suffer from constipation and my daughter gets white/yellow on her tongue from time to time, so I know there's issues. Thanks!
