As far as I know, I don't have a big yeast problem.
My LLMD gave me Diflucan to take as needed. I am supposed to take one pill, wait a few days, then take another one if needed. I have taken maybe 3 in the 3 years I have taken abx.
I am on the gluten free diet and don't replace most carbs with gluten free subs, so I am reasonably low carb. I eat mostly meat, veggies, but also rice and potatoes.
I try not to eat too many sweets or junk food. It is when I go overboard on this that I feel the need for the Diflucan.
I feel great. My only real symptom is muscle twitching and occasional mild air hunger, so I'm not concerned about yeast. But maybe I should be. LOL
Anyway, this is working for me, so far anyway.

she has minor lyme symptoms and uses herbs and exercise, walking several miles a day.
she cannot afford abx and treatment and says is what's best for her.

doesn't do a whole lot of cokes, fast food, etc.,
Even a little hurts when you have yeast issues.
Sounds like your friend has found a way to peaceful coexistence.

I've founf yeast/fungus impossible to eradicate. I did the diet for years religiously, but it never completely eliminated it from my body. Now I eat a fair amount of carbs in whole grains, but take a dose of strong natural anti-fungals and a large dose of probiotics just about every day. I don't eat any junk, but do consume some fruit on a regular basis. Basically, I'm controlling the fungus with natural meds. It works as well or better than the diet and allows you some semblance of normality. No one has been able to tell me why I can't completely kick this although theories have abounded. Now I've just learned to live with it and hope that science will catch up with me eventually.
