That's a pretty good diet but the wheat could still be causing problems. I hate to say that because I also love pasta. Read about wheat at www.dogtorj.net. The article The Answer is particularly good.

I eat just about anything good, preferably organic, including fruit, lots of fruit smoothies, every day at least one big one, keeps my bowels regular. Pectin in fruit (granny smith apples very high in pectin) is a well known detoxifier. I have avoided white wheat/white rice products for a long time, so generally always whole grains. I am a pasta lover so avoiding wheat is not an option here. Brown rice is usually a good lifter upper for me, I make a great stir fry for instance. I do avoid cane sugar items, and have for years. Xylitol is my favorive sweetener, I have some stevia plants but have never actually used them yet, don't know why, am happy with xylitol I guess (and honey). I don't have a yeast problem that I am aware of. There is sugar in beer and wine, which I do drink occasionally but not much really, a few beers or so a week at the very most, and many weeks without. of course i enjoy a ginger beer now and then also and even drink coke occassionally. But not an every day habit with anything sugary.

From everything I have read here it would seem I should have a yeast problem, but i don't, don't know why, maybe the xylitol. I do drink a lot of green tea, have also done that for years. I love eggs., eat them a few times a week, scrambled or soft boiled. Maybe all the garlic I eat keeps yeast at bay, i love hommous with lots of garlic, another reason I won't ever avoid wheat (eg whole wheat pita w/hommous, I eat that more than anything else on a regular basis, except the smoothies)... maybe the thyme I sprinkle on the hommous keeps the yeast away... I also like to eat salads. I have avoided soy products (except some soy sauce now and then) and hydogenated fats for years. i do not use canola oil, only olive or grapeseed, some corn oil for french fires and stuff. I have stopped eating salt water fish for the most part. too bad, I used to love sushi but i am afraid to eat it these days. I have been using psyllium fiber also the past 5-7 months or so. Organic yams are real sweet and they also make me fel real good afterwards.

No yeast, not enough to complain about anyway. And no depression, but I tend to thank Jesus for that.
