Does my experience sound like a yeast overgrowth, or a food intolerance to you?
My symptoms are all GI- bloating, stinky gas, gurgly tummy, etc. When I was on the ED to figure out J's sensitivities, those sx were gone. I was doing low sals, (very little fruit and veggies, lots of beans, etc. I was eating sugar during that time) very little soy, but was eating dairy and occasionally wheat.
I started eating everything again (including LOTS of fruit and veggies, and my sx were back with a vengeance. I thought yeast made sense for a lot of reasons* (though not sure why sugar on the ED didn't make it worse- there were days I ate a LOT of sugar), so I started eating an anti-yeast diet. My sx went away again- I was eating berries, some other fruit, lots of veggies, some nuts, beans, dairy, a small amount of wheat, and meat- no processed foods, no soy. NO sugar (other than fruit, etc) at all.
Yesterday, I had sugary cereal for breakfast, had major sugar cravings, and made choc chip cookies. I also ate lots of wheat, take out chinese foods, and some processed foods . Gassy, bloated, blah.
*I had a YI when ds2 was born, and I've read that YI can increase food sensitivities, which could account for ds2's intolerances.
I am/was allergic to mango, and have other food/chemical sensitivities, so that's not out of the realm of possible for me. But does it sound like a yeast overgrowth?

So I'm going to guess that it's likely that yeast is at least part of my problem.
