I found this easy recipe for banana bread by Bart Hansen on scd.org. I haven’t tried the bread yet, but the batter is delicious. I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and have some. • 3 cups of almond flour • 1/3 cup honey (or 1/3 c. agave) • 3 eggs • 2 mashed bananas • 1/2 tsp baking […]

Yeast exists in everyone’s body, but under the right conditions it can proliferate and take over. Candida Albicans is both a yeast and a fungus and it is the microorganism that we are talking about when we are talking about a “yeast problem.” Yeast exists in everyone’s intestinal tract and in small amounts it is […]

  • Shalini - Great article! Thanks.ReplyCancel

  • Betsy - We have been trying to deal with this for quite a while. My biggest problem is getting the sugar out. Do you use agave instead or are you completely off all sweeteners?ReplyCancel

  • Karin - I am so glad to know others are trying to beat yeast overgrowth while experiencing gluten intolerance/Celiac! It feels like a really tough uphill battle once the yeast go into the fungal state. Getting the sugar out is not easy, especially for a child where sweets play such a part of what is considered an "enjoyable childhood." Yet, it is the only way I have seen improvement in myself. I have been reading a lot about this and a three-pronged "attack" is what seems to work: kill the yeast, replace the good bacteria through probiotics, and heal the immune system & digestive systems. There are a lot of methods for doing the above, but all three need to work in tandem to really beat the yeast, something I am still working on after two years of having chronic yeast issues, and after six months of a gluten-free diet and also keeping out yeasts and sugars as much as I possibly can. I have tried agave nectar and not only do I have the yeast problem, but I think I have a secondary issue with a possible sugar intolerance, and it does not work for me at all. With my yeast problem, to see improvement, I have to completely eliminate all sugars, molds and yeasts in any form (so cutting out even gluten-free tamari to flavor stuff, cheeses, most vinegars, except apple cider, etc.), and also restrict my carb intake to very low levels. I only see great improvement when I eat only some meat and green veggies, especially ones that inhibit yeast. It sucks, lol. But if I want to have no symptoms, until my immune system can get the upper hand, this is what I have to do to achieve a symptom-free existence.ReplyCancel

  • Anonymous - I'm really glad Dr Teich helped your son. He is a wonderful dr, & has helped me alot since I was young. I was able to control my yeast problem (never really fully getting rid of it though since I have hypothyroidism, which he also treats & is extremely knowledgeable about. More so then all the other MD's I've been too). I've been on a very strict candida diet since I was 13 (no fruit, wheat, yeast, sugars or any kind, etc). I am currently 27, & still struggling with it (you can see the thrush in my mouth still). I also tried multiple times medications as well. Recently though, I was diagnosed with parasites which is probably making my immune system weak & unable to fully eliminate yeast from my body. Good thing parasites hate the candida diet too (maybe we should all be on this diet, so help with all medical problems?). I'm hoping that once I get rid of my parasites, I can finally get rid of my yeast too. Either way, I am extremely grateful for finding Dr Teich, & teaching me how to eat at such an early age in my life for better health.ReplyCancel

“If I were a science teacher, this would be my first assignment.”“Why don’t people just MAKE squishy balls like this?”“It’s not just homemade–it’s HANDMAID!” was the slogan my daughter and friend came up with to sell their new playdough. On Thursday, my daughter was off from school and had a friend sleep over. Probably because […]
