During my last trip to my alternative medicine doctor in Baton Rouge, she decided my colon needed testing. I just received the results and was not surprised at all to find out that I have a yeast problem. I have loved and craved breads and sweets all my life. She has given me a couple of things to take, but I also am following a yeast-free diet, which includes NO fruits or sweet veggies (like carrots and beets) for the first two weeks. Now, this is tough. My juicing has changed, and I’m working on a V-8 type. I can at least have a little Ezekiel bread or rice and rice products, and I was excited to find Ezekiel pasta at Rainbow.
I found a simple test online to test yourself for yeast. I did it and was immediately positive. I sent it to my daughter, who is just like me, and she was immediately positive. Because yeast in the system can cause many health problems, you might want to test yourself. Here’s how:
First thing in the morning before you put anything in your mouth fill a clear glass with water. Get some saliva built up in your mouth and then spit it into the glass of water. Check the water in two to three minutes and then every 15 minutes. First notice whether or not your saliva is cloudy or clear. If you have a candida yeast infection, you will see your saliva developing strings that go down into the water or your cloudy saliva will sink to the bottom of the glass. If there are no strings, the water is clear and the saliva is still floating after at least one hour, you are probably candida free. The more strings and cloudiness there is and the faster it develops, the greater the overgrowth.
