I advise against eating corn or any corn products. Corn is a starchy vegetable. That means it feeds yeast.
Diabetics are advised to avoid corn. That is because that starch quickly turns into sugar in your stomach.
I did read on the Body Ecology Diet site, however, that blue corn chips were OK. I believe I got a brand called Garden of Eden or After the Fall or something like that. I ate them during lyme treatment and did not get yeast.
My now famous lyme doc told me to follow the Body Ecology Diet. It is for people with systemic candida and other candida problems.
Here is a quote from their site:
"Instead of chips and dip, eat blue corn chips with cultured vegetables and a new snack chip: the Cassava Chip.
When you truly need a crunchy snack, Donna Gates, the founder of the Body Ecology diet, suggests: Blue corn chips (the brands that do not use refined canola and DO use high oleic sunflower oil) with a serving of cultured vegetables."
Once you are on the Body Ecology site, you can use their "Search" function to look up any food and see if it is OK to eat or not. Pretty handy.

DIET, DIET, DIET is the key. Then, be sure to follow the 5 step plan outlined below. It was developed by my naturopath. It works.
"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

My advice to you MrsScampi is to eat like a diabetic; they avoid sugars, stay nourished, and there is a lot of resources avaliable about what to eat and snack on
