| There are no dairy products, fruits or sweeteners in this diet plan, yet it provides abundant vitamins, fiber and nutrients. Pacetti encouraged his patients to eat as many meals per day as they wanted, having six different foods, one from each group, per meal. This color-based plan for nutritional variety offers health benefits to everyone, not just those with candidiasis. Vegetarians can adapt the plan by eliminating the first category, and anyone wanting to increase variety in menu planning can use it for inspiration. The Rainbow Meal Plan is explained in detail in The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook by Pat Connolly and Associates of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation |
| Food Intolerences |
| Physicians who study food sensitivities say the most common offenders are milk and wheat. These are the foods we eat most often, and the body builds up an intolerance for them. A simple way to treat irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, gastritis, flatulence, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and other digestive disorders is to stay away from all milk products and all wheat products for a month. In many cases, the condition improves quickly. |
| The most extreme wheat intolerance is celiac sprue or celiac disease, a chronic disorder of the small intestine caused by sensitivity to gluten, a protein found not only in wheat |
