Yes Spriggy, it did help. It was part of a larger program using antoxidants, getting nutrition right, correcting hormonal balance and other things. I certainly lost weight and was able to reduce my dose of methadone to minimal levels, and my Valium dose somewhat. Feeling foggy and depressed though, I still have some of that.
With the yoghurt thing, the important thing may be whether your allergies/food reactions are triggered by milk products. Mine are, as are my son's, but more important with me is yeast. So I completely avoid wine and beer. When I did that my allergies settled down enough for me to notice what was making them worse, rather than being bad all the time. But to the extent possible you should avoid the things you react to, one of which, I seem to remember is mould, which I suppose is a bit like yeast. A lot of people have problems with these kinds of things. You also don't like humidity, no? I don't either.
But anyway the main thing is avoiding sugar, and the strictest diets for candida forbid fruit of any kind. And that's really hard. But I didn't do that. I went on a long term low dose Nyastatin and probiotic supplementation thing with the other things mentioned above. It really helped to have a nutritional doctor.All the best
