Hi Linda, hmmmm I struggle on as usual. I have admitted a very very big problem with addiction to certain foods. This is something I didn't have so much trouble at one stage because I simply didn't have the appetite.

Now, my appetite is erratic and this is the main beast I'mfighting right now (cravings and giving in). And I think you were right on the goji juice, I had some and am certain that I felt worse or gurgling in the gut (which often happens when I am feeding yeast). however I had also eaten a few chips.

So once again it is all trial and error. i still have it and may try it again well i feel more confident.

The diet is actually something so essential to me that it's just astounding what happens when I cheat.

I think a lot of this was from a course of antibiotics last year that I had for a flu infection. I never usually go near them but had no choice because I was awake night after night with fevers chills and non stop coughing.

Since the antibiotics, I have had a far worse problem now with yeast and dont recover as promptly as I used to after a cheat. It takes a long time apparently before gut flora has re-established itself and one MUST remain on the diet for a long period of time so that can take place.

I tend not to get into probiotics too much in supplement form because i heard one can become a little reliant on this...But I do eat acidophilus yoghurt. I dont know how much of that is actually making it to the areas where its needed though.

I haven't got my thyroid checked lately no. I'm hesitant to take anything for it anyway. I know people advocate it a lot, but its not something I have ever felt ok about doing.
