Allergies Suck! ok got that out of the way, lol . I am allergic to eggs chicken and yeast and try to be good about it so and working on putting together meals and recipes for these allergies. There is so many things we can not have but I want to make a list of what we can have.
All grains and growing things have some yeast but the point is to minimize by using freshest ingredients and washing well before use (like fresh fruits and veggies) Also adding more good bacteria items like Greek yogurt and such helps.
Minimize Sugar and carbs (yeast loves these) so I use Stevia instead of sugar in most recipes.
I use 2 make things for egg substitutions ENER-G egg replacer and Garbanzo bean (chick pea) juice. (I bake the Garbanzo beans coated in salt or BBQ spice or what ever else suits my mood as a good snack. or make a bean salad)
Basics , all fresh or fast frozen and minimal grains, no fermented (including Alcohol) except bare minimal ,sorry sometimes you just need vinegar or a something or it just is not gonna be right. (But usually at those times compensate with a high probiotic food or supplement.) No fungus , yes this means no mushrooms and aged cheeses.
I know I have not put some stuff down but I am sure there are many out there that can help fill in the blanks but I want this thread to be about what you can have not what we can't have.
WE need positivity and happiness in a world full of no's.
So help out with IDEAS and foods that are budget friendly and special diet friendly! Thanks all.

Did your doctor send you to a dietician when you were diagnosed? With that many restrictions, it might be a good idea to get some professional help to make sure you are meeting your nutritional requirements.
Best of luck to you, eating with those allergies cannot be easy.4 -
Yes there is a long list of can't haves but that is mostly what the nutritionist tell you, you can't have these so try looking for things without it all . that is one reason I started this because there are many people with egg allergies and yeast overgrowth issues so thought this might help.

Hi @MeraiahB
Even with allergies- sounds like there is still a lot of food out there for you!
What about different meats like:
venison
ostrich
Bison
Goose
Duck
Pork
Goat
Rabbit
Lamb
(I could go through the animal kingdom lol - there is a lot to choose from if it’s just chicken you can’t eat. )
I didn’t hear a seafood allergy. That’s a whole ocean of opportunity! (Sorry couldn’t help myself. 🤗)
My favs are Bronzino and Orange Roughy
Shellfish?
Eel?
Try experimenting with different international vegetables to add in variety? Not sure where you live - I’m in NYC - so I have lots of vegetables year round from around the world. Different online markets have all sorts of fresh vegetables to try if it’s not close to your location.
Have you looked at international recipes and spices to add variety?
Nuts? Nut butters?
Seeds? What about recipes that use flaxseeds or chia?

I am allergic to yeast but many people do yeast overgrowth in their digestive system that causes digestive issues so they avoid yeast and carbs.
"Candida is a type of fungus in the form of yeast, which is found in only small quantities in the mouth and intestines. Typically, the body can regulate the degree of bacteria present a given time. However, if an overgrowth of this substance occurs, it can have pernicious consequences for the body by creating a situation of bacterial imbalance. Under such circumstances, bacteria can quickly invade the body and release toxic byproducts into the bloodstream. To see if you have candida overgrowth, look for these ten symptoms.
Fatigue
Perhaps the most essential and draining symptom of Candida overgrowth is fatigue, which is usually long-lasting and difficult to treat. Even sleeping for many hours won’t help you feel more energized. Besides fatigue, Candida overgrowth manifests itself as joint pain, muscle ache, and severe headache. If you suffer from fatigue for a period lasting more than a few months, the condition becomes chronic. You can ask your doctor for a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Bipolarity
Candida overgrowth can cause people to feel fragile and anxious, as well as short-tempered.
. Urinary Tract Infection
Candida is a frequent cause of urinary tract infection, and if you experience persistent infections over the span of a few months, you should consider asking your doctor about Candida. Women can also experience infections affecting the vagina: this can occur due to the Candida itself.
. Oral Thrush
Oral thrush is one of the leading indicators of candida overgrowth and is visible in the mouth, usually appearing as a white coating on the tongue. It is a type of yeast infection that is closely related to Candida. It’s important to treat this ailment early on because if left unchecked, it can quickly spread to other parts of the body. Moreover, saliva makes for a rapid transmitter of oral thrush, so you have to be careful not to come into contact with close family members or sexual partners.
Joint Pain
There is a small possibility that candida infection finds its way into the blood streaming, giving it access to the tissue and joints of the body. This results in an infection of the bones, which causes pain and may even lead to arthritis. Usually, candida bacteria doesn’t reach the point where it can access other parts of the body because the immune system is capable of regulating bacterial levels. If it does occur, however, then the hips and knees are most likely to be affected. Stiffness, pain, and lack of mobility are the most common indications.
Stomach Ache
Because candida overgrowth mainly affects the stomach, it is also the area most prone to symptoms. Candida excess can cause different symptoms to appear in the stomach and intestines, including discomfort and gas, among other signs. Moreover, you may experience indigestion due to the weakness of the intestinal walls, as well as constipation. In some cases, diarrhea may occur, which can lead to dehydration. A low amount of healthy bacteria is the primary cause, and addressing the root issue will help clear up symptoms.
Sinus Problems
Candida overgrowth can cause trouble for the nose and the sinuses. While it is true that some bacterial conditions can cause infections in the short-term, other health-related factors should be taken into account. One of the most significant in gut bacteria, without which the immune system cannot maintain healthy defense levels. Moreover, if you frequently take antibiotics for specific ailments, the beneficial gut bacteria in your stomach may diminish, causing an increase in infections of all kinds, such as sinus infections. Ensure at all times that you have reasonable levels of gut bacteria.
Leaky Gut
The term leaky gut refers to a condition that causes the walls of the intestine to become considerably weaker as a result of bacterial overgrowth.When the balance is broken, for example by Candida overgrowth, the hyphae can cause a weak and permeable intestine lining. The immune system responds aggressively by treating them as an attack on the body. This leads to specific food allergies and sensitivities. To improve intestinal health, you need to address the cause of Candida.
Fungal Infections
People who have candida overgrowth are more prone to getting fungal growth in different parts of the body.you might notice a higher amount of rashes among other ailments of the skin. Warm and moist areas are especially susceptible to infections of this type. To improve the body’s defenses against infections, you should aim to restore the healthy floral bacteria levels of the body.
Underdeveloped Immune System
Candida overgrowth can have far-reaching consequences for many parts of the body, including the immune system. If left untreated, Candida can weaken the immune system to the extent where infections because more prominent and harder to defend against. However, the relationship can go both ways; in some cases, having an already weakened immune system can cause candida to develop. Having a weakened immune system can make significantly increase your risk of suffering from infections. It’s vital to treat candida to restore immune system function. It goes without saying that you should maintain a healthy diet and get plenty of exercises."
these are signs of overgrowth , I was allergy tested and I had a big reaction to yeast. I know it causes me to have a headache right away when I eat anything with it or am in a restaurant that uses it to make things like pizza. Because it gets in the air.11 -
I eat high protein so lots of meat but have to be picky with veggies and fruits as they have to be really fresh because the older they are the more likely they are to have more yeasts on them.
The only fish I really like can't get around here , makes me miss Alaska, lol I used to catch Halibut myself and stock my upright freezer every year. Thousands of dollars worth of fish for virtually nothing.But I eat shrimp regularly now.0 -

OP, I would be careful about getting health guidance or information from sites like these. None of this information is sourced and a lot of it is vague. We're told the author is "Mika" from the "Heath Team," but where is she getting her information from? What are her specific qualifications or expertise?9 -

overgrowth of yeast and the body and an allergy to yeast Im pretty sure are NOT the same thing. I dont hink one coincides with another. as for overgrowth it can be caused by many many health issues.I supposedly have a weakenedimmune system and have no issues with yeast infections. what caused them for me are antibiotics and only certain ones at that. I have no allergies to yeast either.
if you have an overgrowth of yeast you usually end up with a yeast infection,thrush,fungal infections on the skin and other symptoms. in which case most often diflucan or any other anti fungal will be prescribed. I eat a lot of sugar and carbs and have less issue now than I did before. leaky gut is not a real thing either,if your gut is truly leaking you need surgery..5 -

Not a nutritionist, a Registered Dietitian. They are trained to help you meal plan and make sure you still eat a balanced, nutritious diet avoiding deficiencies. If a doctor diagnosed your allergies, they should be able to refer you to an RD.5 -

these are signs of overgrowth , I was allergy tested and I had a big reaction to yeast. I know it causes me to have a headache right away when I eat anything with it or am in a restaurant that uses it to make things like pizza. Because it gets in the air.
I would disregard everything you posted here because none of it is based on anything resembling reality and science. It's pure pseudoscience.6 -
OK well this has gotten off track, I DO have Allergies and people do have overgrowth. I have gone to registered dietitians and they are not all that much help except to say you can't have so try these that are so expensive a normal disabled person can not afford it especially with others to feed in the house.
This thread is supposed to be for Positive Ideas , that was just General information similar to what MY DOCTOR's (2 of them gave me) that was included with the do not eat list. It is backed with science I just chose a easy to find general info page so don't go all wacko because it is not a science journal. I could have posted that but it would have been hard to understand for many. Not looking for Doctors advice but trying to create a support thread for Good Things to eat while having these issues and losing weight.
Now Back on track BE POSITIVE with good menu and food ideas for people with these issues. That is all. The last thing needed is more negativity.6 -
I eat high protein so lots of meat but have to be picky with veggies and fruits as they have to be really fresh because the older they are the more likely they are to have more yeasts on them.
The only fish I really like can't get around here , makes me miss Alaska, lol I used to catch Halibut myself and stock my upright freezer every year. Thousands of dollars worth of fish for virtually nothing.But I eat shrimp regularly now.
Oooh I am going to get some halibut this week to try. Thanks for the idea!
It’s always been a dream of mine to go fishing in Alaska. I can’t imagine how great that fish tastes. I wait for Copper River Salmon every spring.
Do you have room for a garden outside or a hydroponic garden inside? That could take care of fresh vegetables in spring and summer.
How do you feel about frozen vegetables?
Do fruits & vegetables with a removable peel help with yeast ie onion, avocado, etc.

Nope, nothing in that post is backed by science. It's pure pseudoscientific. This idea of candida overgrowth causing all sorts of non-specific maladies is complete nonsense, with not a shred a science to back it up. Superficially, candida infections show up most commonly in the form of oral thrush or vaginal candidiasis, often treated with OTC antifungals. Systemically it is a whole other story. I'm going up assume you've never seen a patient with systemic candidiasis, because if your have you'd realize how wrong that entire copy and paste if yours is. I was an RN in an iCU and have seen what a real systemic candida infection looks like, it's not pretty and it usually doesn't end well. Oh, pointing out misinformation and pseudoscience is not going "whacko".OK well this has gotten off track, I DO have Allergies and people do have overgrowth. I have gone to registered dietitians and they are not all that much help except to say you can't have so try these that are so expensive a normal disabled person can not afford it especially with others to feed in the house.

Really? So basically many people on here are not educated? What an obnoxious statement. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most people on here probably know alot more about this than you. But please, humor us simpletons, find one peer-reviewed journal article that proves any of nonsense in that post and let's discuss it. I'm pretty sure it's not going to go well for you.I could have posted that but it would have been hard to understand for many.
Nothing negative about pointing out pseudoscience and misinformation, its actually a positive thing to not let people believe they have non-existent conditionsNow Back on track BE POSITIVE with good menu and food ideas for people with these issues. That is all. The last thing needed is more negativity.13 -

If you want to back your position, post things that are *accurate*. Don't worry about exclusively making them easy to understand. That's actually counter-productive if your "easy to understand" blog isn't accurate. There are people here who are capable of understanding information, even if it is from a science journal.
That said, when a concept is *real*, it's usually possible to find accurate, sourced information written in a way that is easier for a wider variety of people to understand. If the only easy-to-understand source you can find is a blog post like the above, that is a big red flag.
I think that being positive is meaningless if it is in the context of bogus information.8 -

I'm going up assume you've never seen a patient with systemic candidiasis, because if your have you'd realize how wrong that entire copy and paste if yours is. I was an RN in an iCU and have seen what a real systemic candida infection looks like, it's not pretty and it usually doesn't end well. Oh, pointing out misinformation and pseudoscience is not going "whacko".OK well this has gotten off track, I DO have Allergies and people do have overgrowth. I have gone to registered dietitians and they are not all that much help except to say you can't have so try these that are so expensive a normal disabled person can not afford it especially with others to feed in the house.
This thread is supposed to be for Positive Ideas , that was just General information similar to what MY DOCTOR's (2 of them gave me) that was included with the do not eat list. It is backed with science I just chose a easy to find general info page so don't go all wacko because it is not a science journal.
Really? So basically many people on here are not educated? What an obnoxious statement. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say most people on here probably know alot more about this than you. But please, humor us simpletons, find one peer-reviewed journal article that proves any of nonsense in that post and let's discuss it. I'm pretty sure it's not going to go well for you.I could have posted that but it would have been hard to understand for many.
Nothing negative about pointing out pseudoscience and misinformation, its actually a positive thing to not let people believe they have non-existent conditionsNow Back on track BE POSITIVE with good menu and food ideas for people with these issues. That is all. The last thing needed is more negativity.
I one time had oral thrush and a vaginal yeast infection(TMI) my dr wanted to test for cancer as well as HIV and other things(I know I didnt have HIV). she said yeast infections like that uually mean something is going on health wise. she gave me lozenges to dissolve in my mouth as well as diflucan to take for a few weeks.(1 pill once a week). it cleared it up. at no point did she tell me to avoid sugar and things like that. I asked her about it and she said while it can cause yeast to feed off it its not as much as you think and that with the meds it should be fine.
its the first time I ever had that issue. havent had it since. I notice that since I stopped taking a certain medication that I have had NO issues. so meds can cause it too.0 -
I am a nurse as well and just because some extreme cases went to ICU does not mean it is not accurate. Antibiotics are a big cause of yeast infections and overgrowth as well as deficient immune systems. If is is not a "real thing" then Doctors would not treat it and insurances would not pay for treatment. Many overweight people end up with yeast infections in skin folds and heavy chested women get it under their breast ,some are more prone than others even keeping the areas clean daily. Heat and moisture are the growth factors as well as excessive yeast on and in the body and altered immune systems .

there are some medical references, there are many more but this is not what the thread is about , I did not make it to argue with people but to help people finding FOOD they can eat when on a restricted diet. Please respect that. if you want to argue medical points about yeast overgrowth start another thread please. This is not the place.
This is for people that have been told by a medical professional to restrict their diet or those that are trying it to see if they will feel better to find good stuff to eat and enjoy
Now if you want a milkshake put 1 cup unsweetened Almond milk in a mixer add 4 oz frozen berries and some stevia and blend. Have a sweet treat to perk up the middle of the week!

I had yeast overgrowth in my skin folds when I was class II obese. It had nothing to do with my internal workings, and my doctor prescribed a cream that was a combination steroid/antifungal to clear it up.

I eat high protein so lots of meat but have to be picky with veggies and fruits as they have to be really fresh because the older they are the more likely they are to have more yeasts on them.
The only fish I really like can't get around here , makes me miss Alaska, lol I used to catch Halibut myself and stock my upright freezer every year. Thousands of dollars worth of fish for virtually nothing.But I eat shrimp regularly now.
Oooh I am going to get some halibut this week to try. Thanks for the idea!
It’s always been a dream of mine to go fishing in Alaska. I can’t imagine how great that fish tastes. I wait for Copper River Salmon every spring.
Do you have room for a garden outside or a hydroponic garden inside? That could take care of fresh vegetables in spring and summer.
How do you feel about frozen vegetables?
Do fruits & vegetables with a removable peel help with yeast ie onion, avocado, etc.
Cheers,

I am starting a vegetable garden outside this next year and an herb garden around the house as some herbs keep pests like spiders and ants away ,, not to mention snakes ugh!
My husband is thinking about a greenhouse but I doubt he will get motivated on it lol.
The fresher the veggie the better removing peels do not make much of a difference because older fruits and veggies start fermenting inside as they break down. I freeze fresh veggies and fruits when they are in season so I have plenty in the freezer , I know how they were when I processed them. buying frozen is good as well but you never know how long they sat before frozen so I wash them well first.0 -

yes that happens , some people have once in a while and it clears up and does not come back but others have had it chronically as well as in other areas that have been treated in my place of employment in the past. Creams and powers help but sometimes it needs to be treated systematically.0 -

Your place of employment is known for treating people with for what they say are systemic yeast infections?
This sheds new light on this thread.6 -

I dont know if you are talking to me or not but I dont see anywhere where I was arguing any medical points,if you were. . I was saying that for me my medication caused my yeast issues.I dont see where anyone said that they cannot be extreme cases I certainly did not.1 -

Okay, but this is the internet. If you post something with little to no scientific/medical evidence, someone is going to challenge it. There is no need to spread information with just one side of the story. For example, if I posted a thread claiming that sugar is the leading cause of cancer and we should all eat more Stevia based on the 3 studies done by "doctors" who are investors in the Stevia company but I don't include any of that information, then I am deceiving others. People deserve to get all the information so they can formulate their own opinion.3 -

Frozen fruit and vegetables might be the safest as well as most affordable. They're flash frozen at harvest and don't spent days/weeks in transport and storage. Sounds like you have the protein part covered.

What are your favorite recipes that are with in these limitations?

I make a lot of Bouillabaisse and ratatouille.
Two of my fav dishes.
Ratatouille with end of season fresh vegetables - awesome. Fresh herbs as well.
Bouillabaisse with your choice of fish - also great.
Bon appetit!
