Good book for those with yeast allergies

My ELISA food allergy panel showed my bakers yeast antibodies were still sky high, after a year of avoiding bakers yeast. It was recommended that I go on an anti-yeast diet. I ordered almost every yeast book out there but liked this one the best. The recipes were for real food and the information was interesting.

great useful cookbook & guide to fellow sufferers

I have to say I love this book-- of all the many books and cookbooks I have now read about the anti-candida yeast, this one is my favorite. It is simple and easy to use, I love that I get a guide to the foods I can and can't eat right up front, a list one can copy & take to the grocery store, some of the receipes I've tried are really delicious; I was able to take the test at the front of the book & see if I was really a candidate etc. This book says slightly different things than for instance Dr Crook's famous book or others I have found, but I find these very sensible and clear-cut guidelines. Nothing has helped me as much as this diet, even though I am really using it more as a detoxifying diet than anti-yeast. I have recommended it to almost everyone I know. It is a great guide and tool and I feel as if the author is holding my hand through the process of trying to figure out what I can safely eat without difficulties. For me, the elimination of sugar is key, though I can finally eat a little fruit without problems.

The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook, Updated Second Edi

A yeast infection can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, digestive difficulties, food allergies, joint pain, fatigue, and depression. Candida albicans, the medical name for culprit in most yeast infections, lives in everyone. A number of factors, usually related to lifestyle and eating habits, can allow it to multiply out of control, creating serious problems for its human host. Although a medical professional can diagnose a yeast infection, it's usually up to the individual to get his/her body back into balance. The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook, Updated Second Edition, by nutritionist Pat Connolly, provides all the information individuals need to restore themselves to good health. Although it says "yeast-free" in the title, that doesn't mean that the recipes are prepared without yeast. Unfortunately it's not that simple. Yeast thrive on sugar, and the recipes are designed to eliminate sugar from diets, making the individual "yeast-free." The basis of a sugar-free diet is the "Rainbow Meal Plan," developed by a team of doctors. The Rainbow Meal Plan is very simple: each meal "includes small portions of seven food groups: complete protein; grain or legume; root vegetable; yellow or white vegetable; green vegetable; red, orange, or purple vegetable; and leafy green vegetable." The portions are all the same size. Individuals may eat as many meals a day as they like, but each meal must contain equal-sized portions of each of the seven food groups. Connolly provides some sample menus to help people get started on the plan. He has also provided a selection of recipes for a "Modified Food Plan" for those who are unable to use the Rainbow Plan. Most of the recipes are very simple and use easy-to-find ingredients. He also includes tips on eating out, good nutrition, hidden sugars, and foods to avoid under all circumstances. A comprehensive questionnaire at the beginning of the book will help those who suspect they may have a yeast overgrowth. The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook offers hope and practical help to all those suffering from yeast infections.

Mmmm, Tasty!

I found this book very helpful in the battle with yeast. The recipes are healthy, made from common ingredients, and quick and easy to prepare. They are also very flavorful. By avoiding the foods which promote the growth of Candida Albicans yeast, your body's natural immune defense can re-establish a healthy balance of micro-organisms for optimum health. Following the diets in this book, I noticed a difference immediatley, and was completley free of symptoms in two weeks. (I also used herbs to help fight the candida)

Excellent recipes and large selection of each type.

The recipes are great. The one for the home made mayonaise is fantastic. It is as good or better than the store bought. Each recipe I have used has been a delight. Even my husband is enjoying the food I have been presenting.
