Liz, Jessea and Promenea I did the test and I scored 125 which means yeast is probably present. If I had done the test just a few weeks ago it would have been much lower but it has been higher since being in hospital. If I had done the test anytime in 2001 I would have scored higher. (prior to me me eliminating yeast and sugar). The more foods I have eliminated the better I have felt so now my version of Atkins is pretty good for me.

I do want to be able to eat fruit again one of these days and possibly some of the dairies ricotta, cottage, fetta, parmesan and cream. I don't miss any of the grains.

I eat a lot of eggs and sometimes I am a bit suss about those (just because I like them so much). It seems the things I really like are the things that are no good for me. Sane goes for the soya mayonaise I have ( Norganic). That should go too if candida is the issue as it has in it apple cider vinegar and some honey.

I love tofu and tempeh but have decided to give those a miss for now. Mushrooms should really go too even though I have not noticed a problem with those even though I am sensitive to mold (have had desensitization needles for that one as well as dust, dustmite, grasses).

Jessea I have always had a problem with allergies but they got a lot worse with both my pregnancies. The specialist said that sometimes happens for some people. That is when I put on weight too as I got incredible cravings for sugar and carbs. I always felt that getting pregnant threw my whole system way out of whack and it is only in the last few years that it has started to recover. Low carb, eliminating other suss foods and having the desensitization needle have both really helped.
