I find that I don't have time in the mornings to really fix something to eat - I found some "Nature's Path" organic whole grain crispy rice cereal made with organic brown rice flour and no wheat. My question is can I use Lactaid milk? I have tried soy milk and almond milk and would rather eat the cereal dry. Does whatever is in the Lactaid help break down the sugar in the milk so that it won't feed yeast? Before I got the diagnosis of yeast I was drinking Lactaid milk and eating their ice cream products but now I don't know whether they would be allowed or not.

That's a good question. Tell me, how much sugar is in a glass of lactaid milk?

Ni, shiloh.
The lactose in whole milk is like the sugar in any whole food: It does not enter into the "sugar blues".
The only reason to use lactaid foods is for those with "lactose intolerance".
There are some WONDERFUL recipies for overnight crockpot cereals that I have done over the years. That makes them ready to eat when you arise with no work at all. The one I used that I liked the most used whole (cored but unpeeled) apples, cinnamon, ground nuts and multigrain whole cereal with salt to taste.
Let us know what you learn.

serving size: 1 cup
Sugars: 12 g
I probably only use 1/4 to 1/2 cup on a bowl of cereal - mainly just enough to have some liquid. Since it has lactase enzymes in it, I wondered if that would break down the sugar so that it wouldn't affect the yeast as much. While I have you here, have you ever used 100% vegetable glycerine for a sweetner? I was going to get some for baking purposes and the guy told me it was over in the cosmetic section of the health food store! Is it okay or should I just continue with Stevia? I have been eating rice cakes for snacks but when I looked on the label I realized that the ones I had contained 5g of sugar - I eat the natural banana nut flavor ones made from whole grain brown rice - so I guess I need to get the plain ones there too.

I am totally uneducated as to the whole concept of "good eating" as I have always eaten anything I wanted - never having to diet or restrict any foods.
Could you explain this sentence from your response to me:
The lactose in whole milk is like the sugar in any whole food: It does not enter into the "sugar blues".
Does this mean that I can go ahead and use the Lactaid milk? Back when my doctor first started working with me to diagnose my problem I had a GSDL allergy panel done and had many sensitivities to foods. I was told to stay off dairy, wheat, corn since they were the hardest on digestion. We ran more tests and the yeast was diagnosed - now I am hoping that the food sensitivities will ease up as I rid the yeast from my system. I loved dairy and it was hard to cut out of my diet and then I found the Lactaid worked fine - even their ice cream was good. I adjusted to this "dairy" and never went back on regular milk. I thought dairy was hard to avoid - but sugar is even worse. I have cut out using table sugar and use stevia instead but sugar products are in so many foods that it frustrates me when trying to eat things I want.

Dr. Stoll answered this perfectly. No, I have not used 100% vegetable glycerin but I hear that it does not feed yeast. Stevia is even better.
The rice cakes are bad but properly prepared whole grains are wonderful. If you make something similar to what Dr. Stoll recommended, you won't even have to use the milk

Dr. Stoll, I am about as new to computers as I am to learning about whole foods. I went to the "archive" list and typed in cereal but did not see any recipes for the crockpot cereals you suggested to me. Was I headed in the right direction? Is it in the archives or do I need to buy a book? Thanks.

How about trying rice milk? Rice Dream brand is the best and you'll acquire a taste for it pretty quickly. This way you will avoid any allergic reactions to both dairy and soy. Rice Dream has neither of these ingredients. It''s available in all health food stores and even some regular supermarkets.

Hi, Shiloh.
I did not get this from a book. A friend who was doing whole foods suggested it to me and it was wonderful!
Once you learn enough (Beth's Book) you will begin to get creative.
Try the gross recipe I outlined and use cinnamon and salt to taste. The water in the whole apples will go into the grain (easiest to start is cracked, mixed grains).
Let us grow with you.
Walt
