Yeast prevention diet

Anyone tried this? Looks like I'll have to be on it for several months, but I am seeing conflicting information.

Is dairy or cheese ok?
Can I eat small amounts of brown rice?
What fruits and veggies are best, and what's off limits?

Would this be different than a YF diet? I have a friend that is GF and YF. Yes, the YF diet did sound a bit confusing.

You might check out the book - Feast without Yeast

I'm not sure if it's the same. Absolutely no eating yeasty/fermented foods, but also no eating foods that would encourage yeast to grow (starches, sugars, some fruits).

Have you looked into the Candida diet at all? http://www.thecandidadiet.com/

Yup, that looks like what I'm supposed to be doing! Thanks for the link. It's so restrictive I was hoping for a list of foods I could have, finally found one at http://mwilliamson.com/yeastdiet.htm

Today I'm buying my last pack of reeses pieces and then stocking up on chicken breasts and frozen veggies. At least I can still have yogurt and add in protein powder and stevia for breakfast.
