I totally understand being frustrated to a constant battle and thinking about a chronic condition like leaky gut (that involved eating.)
Regarding dairy, I think some people have no problem with dairy, but many of us do. Most of the books I've read about yeast controlling diet recommend "no dairy." Yet, they don't specify what kind. I think raw or cultured dairy are extremely beneficial. I found only the SCD and Karen DeFelice in her book (a little bit) will explain that.
I do better being a vegan, but I still eat grass fed cows, fish, eggs, honey, etc. However, the most important is not eating the junk: Choose better fat, oil, meat, water, salt, etc. The only dairy I eat is the SCD home made yogurt and a very occasional goat cheese; BUT, I only take D/F probiotic in a capsul when I am detoxing
I do use various herb teas, but I only drink one kind at a time, depending on my symptom(s).
Boy, I dream of curing the leaky gut 100%. We started with a long list of food sensitivities, but it has shrunk. I have not tried any grain on the kids, yet. I function better with no grain or dairy in my diet. I think I will always be like that. I think my kids may be like that as well. I'd be happy as long as my kids stay healthy to pursue their happiness. Besides, what is healthy about eating gluten anyway. There are other super foods that will be good for us (it's just very time consuming in the kitchen though....)
