Carbohydrates- just like raw or refined sugar carbohydrates are eventually turned into sugar by the body. Sorry ladies but this means that foods that contain white four, starch of any kind and potatoes are off limits. Bacteria love to feed off of different kinds of bacteria and yeast as well. With this being said there is a tremendous amount of bacteria and yeast in things like mushrooms or even alcohol.

As even though they may not contain raw sugar they could contain things like corn syrup or even simple sugar and remember that yeast populations can grow out of control when they are given food.
I know that if you follow these tips you will be yeast free in no time.
