I have given up any type of bread so I cannot say If baked products with

yeast would give me allergic reactions now.

When I first had candida, and didn't do the diet since i was not aware of

candidiasis, I kept on eating bread (white bread only) and had no reactions.

I think, beyond theory, there must be individual differences at work here.

Also, the foods that give me the worst allergic reactions are known to be

allergenic: peanuts, most nuts in particular walnuts and almonds, strawberries,

kiwis, avocados, solanaceas like eggplants. And overtime, the foods that give

you

allergic reaction might change.

You said you were limited to 9 foods. Just out of curiosity, what where those

foods?

Right now, my diet is limited to white rice (complete cereals give me

reactions), artichokes, zucchini, salads, spinach, turnips, endives, carrots,

brocolis, cauliflower poultry and some fish.A number of fruit are fine--pears,

plums

or peaches, not apples--but the sugar content is a problem.

Come to think about it, the number of foods I can eat is not vastly superior

to yours.

Thanks Bee for your answers and patience.

I have lost some weight too, and I am trying to gain it back. I am just

eating big quantities of the foods I can eat.

I do not have upset stomach when I have an allergic reaction. I just feel

terrible, with a number of very unpleasant symptoms.

Dear Francine,

I don't know of any studies to proven that yeast based foods, molds

and fungi aggravate candida. But I haven't searched for them

either. I know that I had an allergic reaction to them and it was

severe and sudden. I didn't " try " all of the yeasty, moldy or fungal-

type foods. I got a reaction to yeast in baked goods, peanut butter,

leftovers, dried fruits, and yeast containing supplements. When I

eliminated them I had no reactions of that kind.

The best,

Bee

candida overgrowth can greatly increase the chances of an immune

reaction to all types and forms of fungi. This results in an

allergic response to yeast, mold and fungi, including mycotoxins.

Dear Francine,

I don't remember exactly which 9 foods I could eat because that was

in 1985, 19 years ago. But I do remember that I could have lamb,

beef, kale, spinach, zucchini, mustard greens, swiss chard, eggs and

butter. That's 9, right? Lo? In three months I was able to have

buckwheat but it caused my stomach to be upset. My doctor advised

that I put up with the upset because I needed to stop losing 3 lbs. a

day. I did, and I stopped losing weight.

I didn't try a couple of foods that you tolerate, i.e. endive or

artichokes. But I definitely couldn't eat chicken, fish, fruits,

turnips, carrots, brocolli, or cauliflower. In fact I remained

sensitive to brocolli (it always caused me a digestive disturbance)

until just a year or so ago.

Like I said anything I couldn't tolerate came back up, so I had no

choice. I tried lots and lots of different foods - much of it was

wasted, except that my mother took care of me and she could eat

them. Later I would give foods I couldn't eat to my friends or

neighbors.

Cheerio Francine,

Bee
