When I wrote the post about the yeast gone wild, I did not go into what else I was doing to fight yeast. Brain fog... So, I wanted to add a few other bits of info.
First of all I did not know that a NAET treatment would kill off yeast the way it has. I think I will be having her also treat the Lyme and coinfections more too. NAET will be part of my healing plan.
I also use probiotics on a daily basis. Actually I take double the recommended dose to counteract the antibiotics being constantly in my body. I also use two different herbal yeast remedies...Phytostan and Yeast Formula. I used to eat A LOT of yogurt, but I can no longer tolerate it. I ate organic yogurt with 10 different probiotics in it. Organic Keifer is good too!
Some people take diflucan or nystatin, both of which my body rejected.
Jozephine mentioned to me the yeast free diet and that is very important too. Our LLMD says 2 serviings of fruit a day...1/2 banana.....1 small apple, etc. NO sugars of any kind and no simple carbs which turn into sugar in your body and feed the yeast. As a warning, our LLMD told Joel she had one man who would not follow the yeast free diet and ended up unable to work for 18 mo. due to systemic yeast throughout his body. It is serious stuff.
I am already feeling less "yeasty" so that is good. Just like the musical, "Oz" I am "movin' on down .....movin' on down the road" believing that yeast is no longer wild, but being tamed as I write.
Welcome!
I hope you find my writings interesting and inspirational. They are often filled with emotion because I write without many filters, and they are interwoven with my faith because I know no other way to live. May you find tidbits of information, a dash of humor, and much encouragement here. May this place be a sanctuary for your soul.

Last Fall's View
Having lived with chronic illnesses for many years, I have spent a great deal of time viewing the world from my living room window. Being homebound, I have created an important sanctuary for myself. On my sofa I have fluffy pillows and a warm wool comforter affectionately named, "Woolie" that keeps me warm in the fall and winter, or during Lyme and CFS crashes. In front of me is my coffee table that holds my writing materials, remotes, cordless phone, etc. There is a photo of our family, and a photo of our oldest son and his friends in their police uniforms, to remind me to pray for their safety. The lower shelf is overflowing with stacks of books, papers, my Bible, and articles I am reading at the moment. I have easy access to my TV, stereo, and cds, and I am only a short distance from the kitchen and bathroom. My recliner is close by with my laptop "Libby" right next to it. It is a good place to be.
There is a beautiful view into our backyard, where squirrels, rabbits, robins, cardinals, finches, morning doves, goldfinches, and sparrows gather. Quite often a deer or two will cut a path through our connecting yards for us to enjoy. Trees, flowers, and bushes brighten the landscape. I have watched this view change from season to season, and never tire of its beauty. Even though at times I get tired of living life mostly from my living room, how safe and cozy I feel in my sanctuary. I am blessed.

I can't tolerate cow's milk yoghurt either but now eat a lot of soya yoghurt without any problem. - I even make it myself sometimes!
I have not tried soya yogurt. I have heard of a brand called "Soy-licious".....
