Can anyone recommend a good recipie book for yeast free diets? My GI dr wants me to try a wheat, gluten and sugar free (essentially the yeast free) diet for a couple weeks to see if it helps my tummy. I don't want to starve on this diet so I was hoping there were some recipie books I could check into. Thanks

I would check the internet. I have a gluten-free cookbook, but it's in storage. Trust me, you won't starve and you'll probably feel alot better....especially the no sugar part.
You can also look in any bookstore or health food store.....or Amazon.com for cookbooks.

My dinner tonight......
sauteed onions and garlic in olive oil. added kale ( sliced thin and de-viened) and sauteed a bit more.
While that was cooking that I sliced some chicken breasts and sauteed them in oil, real salt, lemon juice and slice tomatoes.
Then tossed them together and cooked then for a few more minutes.
Was great!!!
it was wheat/gluten free,low sugar (except for a bit of lemon juice)most wouldn't even count that as sugar
Popped a flagyl for dessert..........

I had roast and asparagus. That's about as gluten,wheat, and sugar-free as you can get!
flagyl for dessert....hmmmm

A yeast free diet is a essentially a lifestyle change. I would definately buy the Dr Young book, The PH Miracle, its mostly about raising your body's PH and while not everything in the book is totally practical, it will really help you change. I'd also try checking out the RAW food cookbook, since most yeast recipes need to be cooked.

Thanks. I just don't know how I am gonna be able to do this! I have 3 kids and a very busy lifestlye. It is definately not always practical for me to cook these types of meals. I used to have a complete listing of foods I could eat while on the diet but now I can't find it. Guess Ill have to do a search.

I use the food list at www.wholeapproach.com I feel so much better on this diet. It took a while to get used to it but now it is routine. I do spend a lot of time cooking.
Maybe we should have all the good cooks on this diet contribute some recipes for a new Yeast free cookery section on the Newbie Links. hatsnscarfs

You mention that the diet is "wheat, gluten and sugar free." So, can you eat rice flour, tapioca flour and such?
If so...go to www.braintalk.org (I know you are familiar with that site ) They have a terrific gluten sensitivity forum.
Through my search to figure out I had lyme, I figured out that my husband is gluten sensitive, so I make him gluten free bread. And other GF products.
If you can have other grains, that is a great forum to learn from...they are quite helpful!

Take a look at the Yeast Connection Cookbook by Marjorie Hurt Jones and William Crook.
We got it from the library first and liked it so much we just bought a copy for ourselves.
It has lots of good recipes that are unusual like quinoa crackers or amaranth waffles. (Unlike some other cookbooks that tell you how to broil fish or something that you either know from simply being alive or look up in any old standard cookbook like the Joy of Cooking)
It also has tons of info about living yeast free and dealing with all sorts of food allergies. It has rotation menu plans and more.

It's really very simple to eat this way. You fix meat [unless you're a vegetarian] and a vegetable or two. That's it.
If your children think they have to have carbs, then open a can of beans or fix potatoes. I wouldn't advise the potatoes for yourself since they are a nightshade.
NO processed foods....that's for sure. They're very unhealthy anyway.

I need to have some carbs-thats not up for debate. Are wheat free/yeast free breads ok?

Eat at your own risk! Wheat free isn't always gluten free....so read the labels.
Posted by Nal (Member # 6801) on :
Yeah I have noticed that so I have to read the labels carefully.
oops!
