I dont notice any difference really on the diet. I havent noticed one food or another bothering me. My doctor told me that the yeast free Diet was to avoid candita while on so many antibiotics. I do avoid gluten when possible but I find t very difficult while on a completly sugar free diet. I do eat a lot of fruits and vegetables exept when yeast becomes a problem and then I cut out most ofthe fruit. below I have posted a discription on the diet I was told to follow. There is also another list i was given that Is not as easy to copy and paist that has some differences including avoid grapes and zuccini and a few other things.
My knolege of cooking is very limited and there for I feel my diet is even more limitied. I am two months in and I am finding I am having a very hard time with it. I also do take a strong dose of probiotics three times a day.

Aspartame is quite toxic to the nervous system and should not be ingested under any circumstance, but particularly if you have any neurological problems.
Aspartame is a known serotonin inhibitor. Depression, type II Insomnia (waking between 2-4 AM) and weight GAIN are the symptoms associated with serotonin blockade. Stop all aspartame products and detoxify with a homeopathic remedy from Energique called Lipostat and Drainpar. Within a week, most notice an improvement in sleep. Gums, mints, candies, sodas and foods need to be explored as sources and all need to be removed. If you detoxify the aspartame out and reintroduce it later, significant neurological symptoms can occur.
