Candida Directory: The Comprehensive Guidebook to Yeast-Free Living »

Under normal conditions, Candida albicans lives quietly within our bodies, but under certain circumstances an overgrowth of this usually harmless yeast may occur, presenting a bewildering variety of debilitating symptoms. The Candida Directory is exactly that-a roadmap through the often-confusing landscape of information about this condition. Gourmet author, chef, and former sufferer, Helen Gustafson has joined forces with nutritional consultant, Maureen O'Shea and produced the most comprehensive yet easy-to-use manual for coping with Candida. There is a thorough explanation of each stage of the Candida diet, an invaluable symptom chart and checklist which allows you to accurately gauge your progress from stage to stage, as well as a product and resource guide. Best of all, there are sixty recipes specially created for each stage of the diet, including delicious contributions from Julia Child and Alice Waters.
