For years, I had chronic sinus infections with common cold symptoms, along with several vague symptoms that the doctor could t do much with. A doctor diagsed a Candida infection in the intestines and advised me to follow a diet to restore balance in my intestines. This meant, among others, that I was to avoid yeast, sugar and cow's milk, and fragrance, colors, flavors or preservatives. In a short time, I started feeling better! Gradually it became clear to me what this diet has done to my health. Yvonne van der Burg (1964) was born and raised in Zaandam, but currently lives in the middle of the country.
