I have been faithfully low-carbing since the beginning of the year. I have not made one false step in six weeks. My carbs have been around 20 - 25 most days. BUt after the initial six pound drop, I gained two and have not budged.

I've been sick with a serious sinus problems and cough for a few weeks, but my final push in this direction was being itchy EVERYWHERE - inside and out. I read your links, Doreen, took the quiz, and am pretty sure the problem is yeast overgrowth. And yes, I did your saliva test, Chrissy. Jellyfish sank like a rock.

I had a very strict and boring yeast-avoidance day yesterday. I also started with the oil of oregano ( this was quite a problem to find since the vitamin store tried to sell me something that was actually thymus - you are supposed to use origanium vulgare )

Lo and behold, when I weighed this morning, I was down three pound. Boring or not, I think I'm on to something!
