I have been treating babesia duncani, Lyme and Bart since summer 2011. I'm on a combo of strong abx. I have had yeast issues since last November but until now I have been able to keep them manageable with a few days of Diflucan plus strong probiotics.
My problem is that the Diflucan doesn't seem to be working any more, and I can't get the yeast under control anymore with what I'm doing. In addition to the diflucan, I'm already using the oral protocol from Dr. B's guidelines, I drink kefir and eat plain yogurt, I take strong probiotics (just switched brands) and I take Florastor as well.
Two questions: 1) I know I need to do better on diet and I'm working on that. I have seen lots of lists of foods to avoid. Is there a website that lists foods I CAN eat, suggested menus, meals, etc?
2) Is there anything else I can do to get the yeast under control?
I am still on abx and would like to continue if possible since I feel like I'm making good progress with this regimen.
thanks!

WP-I am so glad you posted this. I am in same boat as you. Wondering what people eat for meals, etc cause it seems like you can't eat anything?!
Sorry I don't have advice for you but hopefully others can help us both! Good luck

Also, here are some food blogs that I subscribe to... while not specifically anti-candida, but you can adapt as needed. These bloggers have diet restrictions and provide recipes that are free of sugar, gluten, dairy, etc.

Lymetoo, I agree about the yogurt. I looked at the label and vanilla yogurt can have over 20 grams/serving! I use unsweetened Greek yogurt with some truvia and occasionally throw in some berries.

WPinVA - sorry for your trouble! There are similar posts (including mine) that talk about the yeast issues while on abx.
Some have said (and I tend to agree) that if you are on abx long term that no amount of diet or natural antifungals will rid you of yeast.
This happened to me and I was able to get my llmd to put me back on diflucan. Since it's been about a year on the abx, they suggested that I try to stop the abx and see how I do.
I, too, take the VSL 3 DS, as well as sacch. b. and prebiotics (arabinogalactan).
I've heard anecdotally that if diflucan doesn't work that ketonazole might...
Good luck!
