Can someone help me figure out what the heck to eat?
I also need to eventually find something to eliminate these allergies. When I can get some money. Down here in FL . .there aren't many docs that can do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heather,
It actually shouldn't be too hard to integrate the yeast diet and your allergies. Many people cut out all dairy anyway, because they find they feel better without it.
You can still eat poultry, fish and eggs. Right? Those are good sources of protein. Hard boiled eggs are really great to keep around on the yeast diet for easy eating.
And it looks like you can eat most vegetables, which gives you lots of variety. Salads without vinegar based dressing are a best friend of many on the yeast diet. Cut veggies are a great snack to keep around.
For simple meals, I suggest a George Forman grill. You can throw on a couple chicken breasts or a piece of fish and it's easy prep and easy clean. Very good for Lymies.
I recommend the Yeast Connection by William Crook for a good outline of foods you can eat. He also has a cookbook called the Yeast Connection Cookbook.
Many people find food allergies disappear with Lyme and yeast treatment. It does great things for healing the gut.
Good luck!

Healing your gut is crucial to getting well. I don't know what your lyme symptoms are, but many of those symptoms may disappear when you eliminate gluten.
Good luck!

Greetings, Heather!
Good advice above. I just want to say.....that with treatment for Lyme......my very serious food and chemical allergies are much better. Give it some time.
Meanwhile....good luck with your food plan.

Hi, It can be frustrating...I had 24 food allergies when I started treatment. I think. I stopped counting. So it can be done!
Shopping can be difficult but now I can hone in on what I need to eat. Mostly meats vegetables Nut and nut butters (are there any nuts you can eat, good source of fat) Nothing prepared as it will likely contain an allergin. I make everything myself, even nut milks.
For grains you can do: millet, quiona, amaranth, kamat and rice...the celiac site will list others.
Even if you do get desentatized to thesse foods, while you are ill the allergies will likely come back. So for now it's best to avoid the foods until your immune system is in better order. Many of my food allergies have gone away without specific desentatization since starting lyme treatment, and I have started re-introducing some foods on a rotation schedule.
To avoid become allergic to more foods, a rotation schedule would be a good idea. For example, If rotate all my foods on a three day shchedule. Whatever I eat today I won't have until Friday. This avoids developement of new allergies. I also rotate my herbs even parsely and cilantro.
Antoher good website (thanks to lymetoo) whole approach In the forum section there is a great list of recipies
