I understand the need to keep easily digested kinds of roughage going, but the real culprit here is candida, and most of your choices are literally candida food. The things you are using are making those little yeasties not only grow unchecked, but they are being assisted by diet. I know I am out on a limb here, but I feel VERY strongly about this.<BR/><BR/>Dried fruit - really bad<BR/>Fruit juices - really bad<BR/>Berries - really bad<BR/>Baked goods - really bad<BR/>Mushrooms - really bad<BR/><BR/>Anything that converts to sugar during digestion, or anything containing yeast or fungus is what feeds them. When they atart to die off they make you crave these foods beyond belief. It is almost neccessary to think of them as entities that have a desire to survive, because you literally have to starve them into submission.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who has had long term candida problems due to severe medications who has suggested that the Earth has been populated by aliens, and they are Candida. The main medication sources, of course, being steroids and antibiotics.<BR/><BR/>This also includes berries, as they have forms of fungus on them that we do not detect until the mold grows as they age. The mold is always there, we just don't see it until it is out of control.<BR/><BR/>I know prunes are common wisdom for the elimination tract, but the concentration of sugars, and the inherant molds that accompany dried fruits is literally yeast food. Oranges are really bad as there are very high levels of mold attached to the orange peel, cantalope is bad for the same reason.<BR/><BR/>What works really well is unsweetened cranberry juice or pomagranate juice in your sparkling water.<BR/><BR/>I know it is presumptious of me to tell you all of this, but after a year long anti-candida regime I can really guarantee you that these foods are a huge contributing factor to gas and extra bloat, above and beyond the medications, of course.<BR/><BR/>All my loveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
