Kim, yes, I also cosidered this problem. I don't eat anything with yeast. For a few weeks I even tried to eat according to the Fungus Link like you're doing but I actually felt worse than ever. I had so much pain that it was unbearable. So I had to add certain grains and potatoes, contamination or not, because I felt like my intestines were going to burst open. I was waiting for the pain to go away but finally after two weeks I gave up. When I said I have less gas it doesn't actually mean that I feel better, if that makes sense. I'm still in a lot of pain and the bloating/distention is there. I just have less (and less smelly) gas to pass. Right now I'm still avoiding most sugar (except from fruit), flour, baked goods... Although I did have a lot of watermelon in the past two days (I love it which is why I won't buy it again) so that could be the culprit (all that fructose). But I've been very good on the previous days to no avail. It takes time, I know. Bacteria is definitely on my mind so right now I'm trying to combine EFI and Pimentel's approach. I actually feel that these two complement each other very well, none of them recommends to eat foods that the other one cuts out.
