Glad to see you're off sodas, but I didn't recommend diet sodas. I consider them to be pure poison, but temporarily it won't kill you.
The carbohydrates are food to the yeast, so if you cut back, you starve it. Common carbs are potatoes, rice, pasta, and all the comfort foods. Milk also has sugar in it and beer and wine are carbohydrates too.
My case took only a month to cure, so it won't be a forever thing. However, if you go back to former levels of consumption, you can expect the a return of the infection.
I suggest you go to the health food store and buy whatever they recommend for yeast infections while you are also starving the yeast. Keep in mind that often your symptons may get considerably worse while when you begin treatment. Get plenty of rest and drinks gallons of water.
Is this all making sense yet?
