I read a lot of good information here on a good yeast diet. I specially like http://wholeapproach.com/ which Lymetoo recomended. I am taking their food list with me to the market later on.
I have been doing pretty bad with my diet. I just can seem to get it together mainly because the foods we kept in the house. So I am going shopping in a bit.
I am wondering the importance of organic foods in a yeast diet. My family has been making the move the organic. We started with milk a few months back and that is all we buy now. We get organic veggies sometimes but organic meats are so expensive. So I am wondering if I could cheat here a bit or does it make the whole process void.
Also, I got from Grapefuit Seed Extrat but I am not sure how to take them. I got the Pills. Do I take 1 or 2 can I can take them with other supplements?

You're wise to start shopping differently so you'll have healthier options available at home.
Changing your diet can take time and will take effort, but it'll pay off, big!
Here's THE best source of info on organic produce:
The most important factor for all-around good health is a whole-foods, plant-based diet.
Your meat consumption should be minimal. Plants offer high-quality nutrition. Cow-dairy intake is best near zero for adults.
Try cold Rice Dream on hot cereal (like oat bran with pecans & cinnamon or red quinoa with blueberries, walnuts & cinnamon) as a way to begin reducing milk consumption. At first, it may seem like water someone used to clean a paint brush. But in time, milk will taste awful and rice milk will become your new norm. And you'll be healthier for the change.
Read The China Study by Campbell (available thru your library system). LymeNet member Tammy N. suggested it to me. It will rock your world! Smile

I think meat not only needs to be organic, if it's red meat, it needs to be grass finished. Cows are meant to eat grass, not corn. We don't get steaks anymore, just burger, cuz I can't afford high quality steaks and I won't buy cheap meat. Even grass fed meat is sometimes finished with corn the last few months. This is what makes red meat bad for us. I don't believe the China Study takes this into account, although I do agree most of us could do with way less meat in our diets. Rent the documentaries Food, Inc. and King Corn.

NOT GOOD to have if your yeast is a severe case!

I spoke to my wife about it and she has been wanting to go organic but the cost has been an issue. I think we will make the jump and cut back on other things like EATING OUT :-). It is funny how the studid decisions we make.
I am starting to see the yeast connection...a few months ago I was feeling very good and decided it would be ok to have a beer. I had one on Friday and one on Saturday. Monday I felt crappy.
Now that I am back on ABX, the pain that had return after I stopped ABX went away. During this time I had also really started to watch what I eat (was it the abx or my diet?).
Until this pass thanksgiven weekend. I did pretty bad on Saturday. I had ice cream, drank coffee with lots of milk. Had lots yogurt etc. Guess what the pain retuned. I really do not think it is lyme or coinfection because the pain is not that bad. I am thinking is all yeast related.
Now it could also be a small herx or just the natural cycle of these infections but I am leaning towards yeast.
I have really really dry scalp which I am reading it would be yeast. Sure I had this way before I started to take all these abx but I am reading that yeast is not only cause by abx use. So I am thinking that the abx I am taking now just made these things worse and that can be the source on my ear issue (tinnitus)
So I am leaving now to Whole Foods to start my yeast diet...it would be interesting to see what happens...

What are your thought on yeast being an issue in some folks even pre abx? Meaning some of us had mild yeast issues that the lyme tx just made worse.
In my ignorance I thought yeast = a womans problems and something I did not have to deal with.
There are 2 things I am grateful for having LD: 1. It has gotten my more relaint on God. And I will not trade it for anything. Actually in my prayers I pray that if getting healed would cause me to slack in my relationship with God, I dont want to be heal. As scary as it sounds I mean that.
2. It has opened my eyes to a new world of healthy living.

Oh yes. I just posted about that on another thread. I had yeast BEFORE my lyme diagnosis. My main problem has always been intestinal, not the female variety.
My yeast issues were due to a suppressed immune system which was a result of MANY years of untreated Lyme and babesia.

I read on a site about tinnitus that basically said "If all else fails look into yeast"... :-)
Also, I found a amish market near by with I will go to see if I can buy my meats there. Will report back on the price difference
