Understand What A Yeast Free Diet Is All About

By John Grell


The promotion of good health and well being of the body can be achieved through yeast restricted dieting. The bacteria living in the body is usually harmless, but there comes some times when they cause one to have symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain. When you hear a yeast free diet, it means just that; cutting off consumption of any yeast containing foods such as pretzels, bread, cookies, rolls, pastries among others.

Vinegar also contains a lot of yeast in it and this means one needs to avoid foods prepared with vinegar. These include salad dressing, pickles, mayonnaise, pickled foods, mustard and barbecue sauce. Also to avoid are fermented foods like cider or sauerkraut. Drinks like beer, spirits and wine fall in this category too.

More foods to avoid are moldy foods; for instance, cured bacon, pickled, smoked, or dried meats, mushrooms, cheese and some types of nuts like pistachios and peanuts. There are other moldy foods like malt, prepackaged herbs, teas and soy sauce, including canned tomatoes. Yeast intolerant people do crave foods with sugar which should also be avoided.

This includes all types of processed sugar, be they confectioners, brown or granulated sugar. These sugars are contained in foods like honey and maple syrup, drink mixes, soft drinks and chocolate which should be avoided as well. There are also those with high fructose levels such as corn syrup and fruits that contain high amounts of sugar e. G., figs, grapes, raisin, dates, citrus and prune.

The levels of yeast will have gone down remarkably by the end of the sixth week of dieting. The body should now be able to adjust to this new found conditioning and the results are a healthier feel and look. Short and long term energy reserves are created when these toxins are flushed from the body system. One should be ready though for side effects that include flue, irritability, fatigue and weakness caused when the body dumps the toxins into the intestinal and/or vaginal tract.

There is no need to worry though since the body bounces back real quick. For the prevention of reoccurring problems and maintenance of good health products with sugar and yeast should not be taken into the system for as long as the dieting goes. Some of these restricted foods can be taken only after six weeks of dieting but they should be taken in small amounts and not all at the same time, one by one.

When tracking your body, you will be able to tell if these foods cause you problems or not. This will help you know which to use and which ones to continue avoiding. Often those people that are intolerant have the chance to learn ways on how to limit the amount they eat and body symptoms to know when to avoid yeasty foods.
