Starting Over

[luv_bug]

Well,
I was reading the Atkins NDR book and realized that I may have a yeast build-up in my system -- I have all but three of the symptoms... Facts are, I have extreme allergies and have been having extreme skin reactions (wound up in Emergency room last week from severe hives/rashes, etc.). I've had allergies my entire life but never really contemplated the extent ot which mold-containing or fermented foods could have (nuts, mushrooms, cheese).

SOOO after reading that I dropped the almonds, cheese and mushrooms out of my system -- I've been stalled for awhile AND really having bad allergies. Anyawys, after only one day of not having almonds (I normally eat atleast 100 g per day) I dropped 4 lbs!!!!! CRAZY!!?!?! eh? It is the only thing I changed about my eating ..

Has anyone else had yeast reactions? If so, could you send me some advice in addition to dropping out problem foods for helping to solve it?
