Yeast Free

So it has been recommended to have a yeast and dairy free diet. Does anyone have any good suggestions for books or websites to look to for guidance?

Who is recommending that?0

I do not, since I'm not sensitive to dairy and restricting yeast would not be beneficial to me.
However a quick google search revealed this site which may be helpful to you: http://yeastfreeliving.com/

Do you have an allergy to yeast or dairy?
As far as meals go...any vegetable or meat. Other than that it comes down to reading labels. Stay away from yeast breads and stick to the quick breads.0 -
I'm having an over growth of bacteria on my tonsils so too much dairy and yeast is possibly making it worst.
What is quick bread?0 -
Thanks for the website!0

Sounds like your nutritionist is very knowledgeable.

Quick bread is bread made with baking powder and baking soda instead of yeast.

By any chance did a doctor confirm this? It's possible that it's true, but my wife and I went to see one of those (free at out doctors office) and we were told that she probably had limes disease and a few other things. Afterwards the doctor just shook her head.
But essentially, limit bread and dairy. So an increase in meats and fish, legumes, fruits, and veggies.0 -
Cutting down on sugar and taking probiotics is a good way to fight an overgrowth of yeast. I don't understand how eating yeast raised products could affect a yeast overgrowth. When you bake, cook, fry, a yeast raised product the yeast dies.
You probably have taken antibiotics in the past and killed off the good bacteria in your system. The good bacteria is needed to keep the yeast in check. Sugar fuels the yeast. Probiotics help to regain the natural balance needed.
Dairy products can cause an excessive amount of mucous flow. If you have post nasal drip that could be contributing to the tonsil issue. Do you have thrush?0 -

What is quick bread?
Savory quick breads are things like pancakes, biscuits, tortillas, some flatbreads, matzo, crackers, etc. Sweet quick breads are your typical tea breads like banana, date nut, etc. Scones and muffins are kind of in between sweet and savory, but are also quick breads. Anything that is unleavened or is leavened with baking soda or baking powder is a quick bread.

That might be the best advice except we don't know why she ended up seeing an organic nutritionist. Maybe her doctor advised it over giving an antibiotic.
Idk...not sure what the difference is between an organic nutritionist vs a holistic nutritionist vs just a plain old nutritionist.

What exactly are you eating that contains live yeast?
Bread is leavened by yeast, but the yeast dies during the baking process.
I fail to see how having "bacteria on your tonsils" is made worse by too much yeast.
In fact, it's the opposite. They are competing species and if you have a healthy gut bacteria biome, it will outcompete any yeast growths.
I could give you examples but it might be gross.

Shouldn't the organic nutritionist give you some ideas?0

please see a doctor before taking this advice. An overgrowth of bacteria is not something that is usually caused by food.0

Why would it be hard to avoid yeast and dairy? Most of my meals are yeast and dairy free.
Stir fry
chili, soup or stew
grilled, roasted, baked or pan seared meat/seafood and some type of vegetable and/or fruit
pasta, rice or other grain
beans and cornbread
beans and rice
tuna salad, egg salad, any kind of salad0 -
Sorry if I don't get all the questions answered.
I've been tested for lime disease. For the past almost 12 years I've gotten strep once a year and I have had some 7lbs of tumors removed from my body over the past 3 years; so I've been on tons of antibiotics and other drugs.
My doctors (3 I seen at least 3 times a year each) just want to add more mess and since I've gotten at least 2 sore throat a month for the past 3 months for 4 days each time the new ENT doctor suggested to gargle with peroxide for 30 days to rid myself of the tonsil bacteria and if that doesn't work to have my tonsils removed. I would like to try anything else for them not to be removed so the no dairy and yeast is something I will try. And I trust the nutrients that recommend it. Her and my mother have been friends for years and my mother doesn't take man made medicine and she is pretty healthy.
I'm sick and almost broke taking prescription medications so if trying a new way of eating could help I will try it.
Oh, I do have a doctor recommended nutrients but she gave me the same suggestions as the other "read the food labels and google" for meal ideas. So I like hearing from people like you all because your actual trying these things and balancing weight loss like me.
Thanks for all the great suggestions and advice.0 -
See a doctor. It could also be thrush which would need an anti-fungal. Also you might want to read up on candida.0
-
Hey OP. Sounds like thrush....like babies get. I have two aunts on my mother's side that get it all the time to. Their doctors both said that they should limit sugars, carbs and I read someone that taking a probiotic like acidophilus can help. I hear that can also be caused by having a ph imbalance in the body. Just to clarify though I'm not a medical professional and this is all hearsay.0
-
One of my friend brought up the pH balance issue too! I have to ask my doctors about thrush. As far as I know I haven't been tested for that.0

While I understand where you are coming from, I can tell you getting my tonsils and adenoids removed was one of the best things I ever did. I didn't get sick once the following 4 years after the surgery. And I used to get strep every year and other infections once a month or every other month.0 -
You really seriously need to research candida yeast overloads. Your symptoms sound like your body is full of candida yeast.0

The bolded statements above are alarming. Recurrent bacterial and fungal infections in the tonsils usually mean they need to be taken out. The fact that you've been on antiobiotics so often is probably part of why you now have a fungal issue.
Just because your mother doesn't take 'man made' medicine and is healthy doesn't mean anything - it just means she hasn't contracted anything serious that needed a strong prescription. Most 'man made' medications are based from natural means anyway, so mild holistic medications will work for mild conditions. But avoiding all man made medications for the sake of doing it isn't a good idea.
It is also concerning that you are seeing nutritionists who are telling you to eat a certain way but don't give you specific instructions or food lists. Telling a patient just 'google' ideas is lazy medicine and a bad sign.
You need to see a good medical professional.0 -

Nutritionists aren't doctors anyways. She could have ended up seeing one because she needs to part with an excess of dollars.0 -
Try Kefir, or the surgery. I could understand if you are sick of surgery right now.0
