I still follow a modified antifungal diet. I try to be careful not to eat any yeast, but I do now eat pasta and some yeast-free millet bread, in moderation. I am not doing so well with the sweets, though. Everytime my daughter bakes, or a chocolate bar is brought into the house, I do indulge, but only in little amounts. I believe probiotics have been key for my wellness. I take Nature's Way Primadophilus Reuteri capsules. I tried at least 2 others before I settled on this particular brand. The others gave me gas and bloating. I try to eat more fiber than I used to, with either All Bran, Fiber One cereal (look for hidden artificial sweeteners in some of these cereals now), veggies, or something like that. I find it bulks my stools. And NO artificial sweeteners. I don't take the natural antifungals all the time, but I take them every so often for a period of time, just to get rid of any fungu/yeast that may be creeping in again.
About twice a year I go back on the phase one diet just to detox my body. I will probably do it next week, during my spring break. The thing about doing the diet is that within a week or so, you will know whether your condition is fungal related. You just start feeling so much better. It does take longer than 2 weeks, however, to completely get better. And, you have to change your lifestyle/diet, somewhat for the rest of your life. But to tell you the truth, I don't even want to eat the way I used to. I eat to life now, not live to eat.
