Exercising Your Options with a Yeast-free Diet
Tinea - the Yeast Infection That's a Bad Sport
If you or your partner suffer from recurring bouts of tinea - either on the feet or the body it may be worthwhile trying a yeast-free diet for a while.
Yeast is one of the great equalizers; it attacks anybody. Babies, teenagers, adults and the elderly are all fair game for a yeast or fungal infection. (See the Symptoms Matrix to check out your symptoms Symptoms Matrix).
Our usual reaction is to medicate, and this is always good for immediate relief. But additional therapy is advisable especially for recurring infections. Of course you should refer to your doctor for advice. Further info Yeast Sensitivity
An often overlooked but frequently effective therapy is diet. Although it may seem restrictive, many people find lasting relief after only 2-3 weeks of minimal yeast.
Looking critically at what you eat every day may be surprising. If you do suffer from recurring bouts of tinea or Candida, a diet that is high in yeast-bearing foods, sugars and refined flours is only adding to the problem.
Why not give your body a welcome break and a real chance for recovery by eating yeast-free for 2 - 3 weeks? See Eating Yeast-free
There are numerous fungal and yeast-like infections: several types of tinea are common including ringworm, and then there is vaginitis and nappy rash.
These all breed in humid environments. That is: warm, moist places that receive little aeration. Many of us have experienced genital infections (candida), jock itch, athlete's foot and ringworm (tinea). In children and babies nappy rash is often candida.
Naturally take the normal preventative measures to avoid infections:
- Don't share shoes or clothing
- After showering dry carefully between the toes and in skin folds
- Wear clean underwear every day
- Wear thongs in communal showers and pool areas
- Check that pets are not infected (especially cats)
There are also the curative measures you can use: anti-fungal creams and oral medications. Many of these don't need a prescription and when combined with a revised diet bring great relief.
Yeast Is Easy to Understand
Even though yeast infections are responsible for so much human discomfort, they are easily understood. There are only few simple things to remember.
1. Yeasts are opportunistic. They take advantage when there is the slightest window of opportunity to breed and bloom - wherever they notice your defences are down.
2. If your immune system is weakened temporarily, say you have just completed a long course of antibiotics, or are physically run down, or stressed then your defences are down.
3. Control yeast by spoiling its ability to breed. a) Diet therapy: See Yeast Sensitivity. Minimise sugars and the foods that convert easily to sugars, (refined flours). Instead use sugar substitutes and whole grains. Avoid foods that carry yeasts and fungi; bread, yeast concentrates like Vegemite, and dried fruits like sultanas and apricots. Eat fresh wherever possible.
b) Ventilate: Ensure your body is open to the air: wear loose clothing, go barefoot and let babies play without a nappy. Exercise in loose cotton clothing, and towel down intermittently. As always, consult your doctor or healthcare professional before taking medications, or undertaking diet therapy.

"I wish to tell you that your program has been wonderful for me! What an amazing difference in my overall health! I can sleep better than I have in years! No more belly trouble, or worse, BACK PAIN! I've had that back pain for over 20 years! I'm not afraid to work in the yard or do other strenuous things that I always thought were "hurting my back"--I'm healthier than I thought! I wish I had found you sooner, but am so grateful to have found you at all! Thanks for a sensible, systematic approach to taking care of the body! I just thought my body was "out to get me!" I'd seen at least 6 doctors over the years, and not one asked about my diet…"
Valerie H., CA, USA
"IBS has ruined my life for the past three years. But your methods are sensible and simple: Food Intolerance Healing Program journal pointed to lactose intolerance in 4 days and I had actual proof in another 2 weeks. Brilliant, just brilliant!"
Peter L., UK
"My bloated stomach was a joke around the office. I have a full figure but not that big. But suddenly I've dropped a dress size! I always knew I had problems with wheat and gluten but the Detection Diet picked up that I'm lactose intolerant too. I've been overweight for years but I'm so much slimmer now - eating differently. I never suspected, now I wear size 10 skirts and belts. Thanks!"
Jaynee L., ID, USA
ABOUT ECZEMA: "I am currently following the 9 Day Plan and not a doubt in the world...sensitive to gluten. I started this past Saturday. I have suffered from severe abdominal distention. As of today, waist is down a whopping 4 inches! No more "knot" up high in my stomach, constipation going away. Battled eczema on my face in two stubborn places for years...GONE. Had celiac antibody test a year ago...came back negative. Amazing, huh? Tell Deborah I thank her with all my heart. Next is the dairy discovery!"
Carole H., MI. USA
ABOUT YEAST INFECTIONS: "foodintol has made such a difference to my life; a very stressful year including deaths in my family...all
contributed to regular bouts of gastro-intestinal symptoms including severe cramping pain, heartburn, indigestion and
diarrhea. I was spending a fortune on over-the-counter medications. Adding to that were multiple yeast infections...
Enter the Elimination (Detection) Diet and confirmation of my yeast sensitivity. Eating Yeast-free has me full of energy,
devoid of any symptoms, losing weight and feeling healthier that I ever can remember feeling! Thanks a million
and a Happy Christmas to all at foodintol!"
- Fran T. Agnes, South Australia (AUS)
"My 14 y.o duaghter is back on track on the fructose-free diet. No more moods, angry shouts or cravings. Her
school marks are up and best of all - she likes me again. Thanks so much to the Team at foodintol."
