While staying on the diet and reducing honey etc.. did help a lot with the yeast it was still quite bad. (I tried Nystatin but had a very bad reaction to it, stopped it and decided to try the natural route) I added in natural antifungals (Homemade carrot and garlic juice, GSE, Oil of oregano) and that helped a small bit. I then added yeast (specific) enzymes. I first tried Candex and then Candizyme, both in conjunction with antifungals that I rotated. This helped tremendously. Last year I was treated with antibiotics twice unnecessarily (two misdiagnoses) and the yeast flared up again along with a flare up of colitis - for which I was hospitalized. After getting out of the hospital I started taking Saccharomyces boulardii. After a while I was able to tolerate yogurt again. I don't use the antifungals now but I still take the Candizyme - I use it before/with meals to help digest foods. By far, taking the S. boulardii has had the biggest and best effect on the yeast overgrowth. I have read some research that says that S. boulardii will work synergistically with good bacteria, like L. acidophilus and L. casei. I have definitely found it to be the case for me. When I was finally able to add the yogurt back into my diet my health improved dramatically.
