Butter and mayo?

[julirama723]

I recently discovered I have a yeast overgrowth.

I've been looking at various anti-yeast diets (Including KISS, low-carb anti-yeast, and the four Yeast Connection plans) and have found conflicting information. Some say that vinegar is OK, and others say to avoid it. (Vinegar is in mayonnaise.) Some say that butter is OK, and others say to eliminate it.

What are your experiences with this?

I am wondering if this maybe be part of the issue you have with beer? What do you think?

[julirama723]

Yep, it DEFINITELY is, Titian! The issue I have with beer, with grains, with all sorts of things. I had read in my research that yeast symptoms can mimic gluten symptoms, but since I hadn't had obvious "yeast" problems (like a yeast infection) I didn't think that yeast was the culprit.

So now I know what I've got to do, I'm just wondering if butter and mayonnaise are OK on a yeast-free diet. Some sources say YES, some say NO, and I wondered what the members of ADBB think...

Hi Julie, I was looking back at my fitday from when i was feeling a whole lot better and my face cleared and losing weight and it was at the time i cut out a lot of food, and basically was eating the meat, veggies, and eggs and using olive oil as my fat, but i did have butter daily, just usually at bfast for my eggs, i would have used more if i steamed my veggies but since i pretty much roast all veggies now i use olive oil, and i did use mayo just not on a daily basis, i tried to cut back on it, see i use mayo and worshechire which both have vinegar in them as and mix as a dip for steak and i did that back then. Now this time i have had no butter or mayo but seeing i did then i might use some here and there, just not as much. The thing about butter in my eggs it really helps get the fat in there, so here i have been using olive oil spray and it just dont give me the fat i need.

Lisa, thanks!

I'm concerned about ways to get my fat up too, and I just can't fathom eating ONLY olive oil for that. I don't *think* it'll be a problem, I just want to make sure.

i eat regular butter but make my own mayo with raw unfilter applecider vinegar. you could also make it with lemon juice. i have had no problems so far.

Coconut oil (virgin organic) is a yummy yeast fighting oil. It's nice on skin too.

Hello Julie,

I'm not sure if you'll read this but just in case.
I see you have concerns about keeping your fat ratio up.
I have found that by adding MUFAS (monounsaturated fats) that it helps raise my fat ratios.
1).OILS-Canola, flaxseed, olive, peanut, pesto sauce, safflower, sesame, soybean, sunflower, walnut, are all oils you can incorporate into your woe to help raise your fat ratio. Also-
2).Nuts & Seeds- almonds, almond butter, brazil, cashew butter, chunky natural peanut buter, dry-roasted cashews, dry-roasted peanuts, dry roasted sunflower seeds, hazlenuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, roasted pumpkin seeds, smooth natural peanut butter,sun flower seeds, sunflower seed butter, tahini, and walnuts.
3).Avacados-florida avacados, Hass avacados
4).Olives- Black olives, black olive tapenade, green olives, green olive tapenade.
5). Dark Chocolate

Also I wanted to tell you that in Sunny Secrets Journal on page 3 post #53 that Sunny has a list of things she cut out during her two week yeast free diet. I thought maybe it could help with your choices. She successfully finished Yeast free.
Sincerely, Sherri

Sherri, thanks, but I am on the KISS plan for candida overgrowth and can't have any nuts/seeds for a while. I used to eat natural peanut butter everyday...I think that's part of what got me in this mess.

Obviously, chocolate is out too, as are olives.

I did, however, have some avocado tonight--my first attempt at making guacamole! It's also the first time I've eaten avocado and liked it.

I posted this question in the Candida forum because I prefer mayo and butter over olive oil, or at least, I use it more often, and would hate to NOT be able to use them! From what I've gathered, they both seem to be OK.
