Query for the yeast experts
I'm just wondering, I suffer with cystitus (I think thats how it's spelt!) pretty much all the time. I have to drink lots of water (even before I start Atkins) and gallons of cranberry juice to lower the acid in my urine, (sorry, I know thats not nice!)
I know cystitus is caused by candida which is a form of yeast, but I don't know much else. My doctor has basically told me to put up and shut up. She actually told me, jokingly, to get shares in cranberry juice!
Now, I'm realising that I shouldn't drink cranberry juice on Atkins.
Is this a yeast problem that Dr Atkins talks about? I've never noticed anyone else mention cystitus. I love cheese and mushrooms! Infact, mushrooms are my fave veg! Does this mean I should give them up?
Please help...I'm feeling very confused. I know this isn't a medical advice forum, but if anyone else suffers from the same thing, it would be good to get feed back!
