About Me
I am married for 28 years. Have two daughters 21 & 17. We have two dogs, one cat two ferrets, a mouse and a hedge hog for pets. Yes, I am crazy. I am a hairdresser by trade. I have a small mobile hair business. I go to people's homes who can't get out of the house and do their hair. I find it very rewarding.

Keep at it! - I had dreadful withdrawal symptoms when I stopped eating all foods containing yeast:: so bad I thought I must have been an alcoholic (I had to quit wine, which I used to have every night) - I was OK after 4-5 days, but it was quite dreadful. My younger d. got the same when I took her off wheat & yeast - she threw an awful tantrum at a party when the garlic bred came out. Luckily, There was a family there with yeawst allergy - so bad that their 2 kids had to come inside before nightfall: so I had backup, which really helped. Tried stewed fruit (fresh or quick cooked & frozen) - I eat plain applies, plums, in small quantities with breakfast rice or corn cereal (from Helath Food shops - no sugar) Some Health Food shops have very helpful Assistants who understand about candida. All the best, JaneD.
