Guest guest Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi Kate; I used to have a yeast issue. I have found that sugar is a problem that way, very different from fruits. Sugar isn't a food, fruit is. Sugar is empty calories; worse than that, it causes the spike-drop reaction in a our blood sugar and actually depletes our bodies of valuable nutrients when we digest it. However, fruit adds valuable vitamins, minerals, fiber, complex carbohydrates which our bodies burn slowly and cleanly as " fuel " . Deborah quick question...I have an allergy to yeast. Does anyone have any advice about how much fruit and natural sugar (honey, molasses, etc.) I should eat per day?

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 i have a friend who had sever yeast problems. she went on the " yeast free " diet and has had no problem for years. the first couple of months she cut out all fruit and sugars. then she added the low sugar fruits back (green apples and such) then she added, every once i a while, molasses and honey. she eats stevia when she needs to sweeten something. she has gotten rid of her sweet tooth thou. this was a 6 pack a day dr pepper drinker. i know you can find on line the yeast free outline. i dont think i have it any more thou. have searched. sorry. it will make you feel so much better thou to rid your body of excess yeast. we all have some and that is ok but when it comes and growes over you have a problem. good luck! kathi --- Kate McCullough <misskate_523 wrote: > quick question...I have an allergy to yeast.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi Kathi; Wow! " ...6 pack a day dr pepper drinker. " ! That sure is a LOT of sugar! 40g of sugar per can, 240 g of sugar per day just from that! That's a 1 1/3 cups! That makes it easy to see why she had a health problem! Dr. Pepper has 150 Calories per can, so 6 cans per day is a whopping almost 1000 (nutrition-free!) calories per day. Did she lose weight when she stopped drinking that stuff? .... plus 41 mg of caffeine per can, for a total of 246 mg. That's about the same amount of caffeine as in 3 cups of coffee. Did she start sleeping better after she stopped doing that to herself? Did she go through withdrawal?? And last but far from least is all the sodium (salt): 55mg of sodium per can, for a total of 330 mg per day. Considering that we are only supposed to have between 800 to 1500 mg of sodium in our total diet each day for best health, when she stopped drinking all those pops, her blood pressure may also have dropped. I'm so glad she realized that Dr. Pepper addiction was causing her more trouble than it is worth! Deborah i have a friend who had sever yeast problems. she went on the " yeast free " diet and has had no problem for years. the first couple of months she cut out all fruit and sugars. then she added the low sugar fruits back (green apples and such) then she added, every once i a while, molasses and honey. she eats stevia when she needs to sweeten something. she has gotten rid of her sweet tooth thou. this was a 6 pack a day dr pepper drinker. i know you can find on line the yeast free outline. i dont think i have it any more thou. have searched. sorry. it will make you feel so much better thou to rid your body of excess yeast. we all have some and that is ok but when it comes and growes over you have a problem. good luck! kathi .

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 deborah, i know!! crazy aint it? she is tall and was always skinny untill she started drinking that posion. she lost around her middle real fast and looks so much younger. i am amazed. she has more energy than ever before. she sleeps very well also. she is like my sister and i have known her a long time. she is so much more calm also. she use to have the highs and lows associated with to much caffine and sugar. i to recently found out sugar affects me in a weird way. to much caffine and sugar and my arm pits break out in crazy rash. does not itch much but can be uncomfortable. at least this is what i have narrowed it down to. so if anyone has any misterious rashes out there keep a log on what you eat and drink and see what it is in your diet. your calculations should keep anyone off of those gross sodas.... take care kathi --- Deborah Pageau <dpageau wrote: > Hi Kathi; > > Wow!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 mysterious rashes are often candidis albicans and if the rashes are showing up in " unusual places " , it's a good sign that the candida overgrowth is systemic or that the " yeast " has gone to its more advance mycenial stage where it digs in to the digestive tract and becomes an " infestation " .
