I've often heard talk about 'non-yeast' diets, and even saw
a book in a bookstore that advocated staying away from yeast.
My response has been to giggle that Candida (the infection-causing
yeast) and Saccharomyces (includes baker's yeast and brewer's yeast)
are very different beasts.

But often when I have this response it's merely because I'm
uninformed. Why should one expect that a Saccharomyces-free
diet should help a Candida infection?
