I Need A Yeast Free Food Shopping List?
I have chronic psoriasis and have gone to every doctor/tried every treatment possible to get rid of it. I thought it was stress related and still do but not as much.
My psoriasis pretty much dissapeared when i got sunburnt and went to the beach also i broke up with my loser boyfriend…so i figured beach, sn, less stress = …no psoriasis.
I recently went away with friends and started drinking beer…and in the last week my skin went from CLEAR to BOOOOOOM and I think it because of yeast!!!
I figured to do some more research on this disease and found that yeast is a cause to psoriasis. So because the professionals can’t really help me, I am going to try my own NATURAL experiment…although I am finding it hard to get a ‘YEAST FREE’ shopping list together!! HELP PLEASE – I don’t so much want recipies…just seperate foods…like tuna, corn, fetta cheese …ta
Allowed foods
Proteins
Eggs
Beef
Chicken
Seafood
Turkey
Pork
Lamb
Duck
Pheasant
Goose
Veal
Cornish Hen
Nuts, Peanut Butter, Almond and Cashew Butter
Tip: Eat plenty of protein, especially if you eat a carbohydrate.
Vegetables
Vegetables are your best bet to fill up and keep your digestive system running smoothly; fiber is important. Lots of fresh or steamed vegetables, maybe some dip made from plain yogurt or sour cream and you will feel satisfied and healthy! Some vegetables have more sugar than others, such as carrots, so eat them in moderation. If you want to be really strict, avoid them.
Asparagus
Avocado
Beets
Broccoli
Carrots (limited)
Cauliflower
Celery
Eggplant
Green Beans
Leaf Vegetables (Lettuce, Kale, Collards, Mustard, Greens, Swiss Chard)
Onions
Peas
Peppers
Potatoes (in moderation)
Radishes
Squash
Tomatoes
Turnips
Dairy
Another disputed “allowed” food; dairy is permitted on most yeast free diets, but usually in moderation
Butter
Cream
Cheese
Milk (lower fats are better)
Yogurt (Plain)
*Tip: Most yogurts have sugar, or worse, high fructose corn syrup added. Don’t consume yogurt containing sweeteners and think that they are good for you while on a yeast-free diet. The digestive additives put into yogurt now really don’t make up for the tons of sugar that are also added in as well. At least, not while you’re moderating your diet.
Beverages
There are a lot of different opinions as to caffeine, tea, and other beverages on an yeast-free diet. Some people do well while still consuming some caffeine. If you are trying to be strict, eliminate most or all of it, if possible.
Water, water, water
Vegetable juices (like V8)
Tea (Decaf is best)
Coffee
*Tip: Try drinking some iced-green or decaffeinated teas to replace sugary sodas or fruit juices. There are many different varieties and flavors of teas. They give a sense of having something substantial, more than water and tea has other health benefits
Ask your dermatologist to book you into a allergy clinic. They will do a skin test. You can also ask to be tested for the caeliac disease, which is a gluten intolerance. Allergies to wheat and yeast are known to cause skin reactions. If you go the to health food section of your local supermarket (I don’t know where you are in the world, but in Australia Woolworths has a great selection), and they will have a yeast free and gluten free selection of cereals, flours, bars, and dried fruit.
Make sure you check meat and dairy packaging for added gluten and yeast. A lot of them have these hidden in them. One of the easiest ways you can do the diet is to:
*eat yeast free bread toast for breakfast (bread should be easilyavailablee in the supermarket)
*yeast free sandwichh with meat and salad for lunch
*have the old fashion meat and three veg for dinner (don’t use gravy or sauces- most contain gluten if not yeast). You could also add some yeast free pasta or rice
*maybe have meringues for dessert with yogurt or fruit. You can also buy yeast free cakes.
*for snacks eat fresh fruit and yeast free rice crackers or boiled eggs
