Yeast is normal in the gut flora, where it helps digestion. Sometimes overgrowths appear after someone has taken a round of antibiotics or is immunocompromised and the yeast spreads to the blood.

It’s great that you understand the importance of diet. It’s always wise to eat a healthy diet that avoids sugar, soda, coffee, candy, alcohol (including wine and beer), fruit juices, refined carbohydrates and especially any type of yeast bread or dough. (So you might want to reconsider pizza and french bread since you already have too much yeast in your system). Whole grains in moderation, plenty of vegetables and fruits and healthy proteins (no processed meats) are always a good practice.

I have heard some health practitioners recommend staying away from carbohydrates altogether for a while, but that would be completely up to you.

Its important to get the digestive system, and especially the colon working well again, after all, that’s where the trouble started. One of the ways to do that is with a good colon cleanse. The best one I’ve found is the Youth Flow Colon Support – it’s a little hard to find on the site. Just go to the link above, click on “Products” and then scroll to the bottom of the page where it says, “Ancient Herbal Remedies – Colon Support.”

There are several good books about yeast overgrowth/Candida on Amazon. It takes time and patience to rebalance the body’s systems, so be good to yourself.
