I checked out the book "The Complete Candida Yeast Guidebook" by Jeanne Marie. I spent most of the day reading through this book to help me get a better understanding of this diet and what other things I could be doing for my daughter. I definitely know how she got the Candida. It came from the over abuse of antibiotics that she was put on due to her constant urinary tract infections that she was getting over the course of 3 years. If you combine the over use of antibiotics with her high carbohydrate diet, she was already at high risk for a yeast overgrowth. I just didn't know anything about. The one thing that still stumps me is how a doctor can determine how she has a yeast overgrowth. In everything that I've read, there really isn't a precise test that determines yeast. It's a conclusion based off of many tests and questionnaires and human habits.
Within this book I discovered so many more things. Candida can be linked back to Autism, ADHD, breast cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and many more. It really is all linked to diet. Yes, there are other factors, but diet really has the end all answers to all health related issues. If the American diet wasn't so carb, fat based, maybe this nation wouldn't be ranked as being such an obese nation.
I'm sure I will have many more references to this book in future postings.
I don't really remember what she had to eat today, but I did make a homemade pizza for her for dinner. I used that Chebe pizza mix and instead of using full dairy, I had bought that "fake dairy" cheese. It was like rubber. I couldn't handle the full rubber, so I mixed the dairy and non-dairy cheese together to make it a little more tolerable. It wasn't so bad this way.
