I am feeling so much better having been doing pretty good back on the diet for over 1 week now. There were a few minor slip ups here or there but nothing that sent me spiraling out of control. I feel like I am getting in control of my symptoms again. In an effort to stay on track I am going to try to post my family’s daily menu. I hope this will give you some ideas for quick and easy yeast free meals. Many of our meals are often free of many other things such as corn, soy, milk, beef, pork, shellfish as my children a allergic to many different foods. I have listed what they are having too. We do not eat exactly the same things because of all of the different allergies. I found that trying to be yeast free and follow their dietary restrictions leaves me with few options and I usually end up cheating on the candida diet. I just explain to them that what our bodies are different and that what is good for me is not necessarily good for them. Some days it is a struggle but we are making it.

I’m just interested to know how you make your turkey, avocado & salsa salad. Salad was so easy for me to eat when I was doing Weight Watchers but now that I am yeast free and haven’t been able to find any dressing that is safe or that tastes good, I’d love to know how to make this salad.
