It is really important to give your body the good food it needs to keep your immune system from getting overloaded any more than it already is.

Stopping the wheat is a good first step. That is exactly what I did a little over a year ago. I felt much better from eliminating wheat and gluten products. I had still been eating sugar at the time and soon after that I had a major health crisis. Stopping the sugar has literally been one of the hardest things I've had to endure. It just goes to show us how truly addictive it is! I went through many hypoglycemic attacks when trying to stop the sugar. One attack landed me in the ER! But it has to be done. Once you can get over the first couple of weeks, your blood sugars start to level off. Just make sure you are eating every 2-3 hours. I eat lots of vegetables (I wasn't a big fan of them in the beginning, but now I look forward to my organic mesclun salad every day!). I also eat lots of nut butters (pecan and almond -- watch out for peanut and cashew, they are higher in mold) lots of homemade soups, some brown rice with vegetables and an occasional granny smith apple (sprinkled with cinnamon). The yeast problem will not go away without strict adherence to the diet if you still have mercury fillings. I've been on this diet for 7 months now, along with taking anti-fungals both naturally and by prescription and it still is there. I am in the process of having my fillings replaced and I can feel the difference already with my digestion.

The diet can be very depressing at first. But Nicola is right, you get used to it! And the payoff is when your health starts returning. I try to look at sugar now as a poison to my body. It helps me to feel good about not eating it. We have to look at regaining our health as a battle and remember we need to eat (right) to live and not live to eat!

Hope that helps some.
