So, I'm currently suffering from feral fanjo fauna, and trying to nuke them with Canesten. I've been looking at old threads about thrush on MN, and notice that a lot of posters recommend a diet that cuts out (are you ready for this?) bread, all alcohol, all sugar, all dairy (don't know why dairy- in for a penny in for a pound I suppose) , mushrooms, Marmite, and anything else containing yeast. So. Leaving aside the fact I'd probably rather have thrush than give up all that lot, how would it work? Taking bread as an example: yes, it's made with yeast. But when you bake it, you kill the yeast. Then you eat it, and it goes into your stomach, which is full of hydrochloric acid, presumably killing any yeast organisms which may be alive within (although thinking about it, obviously stomach acids don't kill all organisms, otherwise how would anybody get food poisoning?). So.....is there any science backing up this type of diet, or is it all bolleaux?
