Hi beebuddy. Yeah, U2 were brilliant, as always. I'm ready to go back again...Anyway, I'll check my books at home. There is some disagreement on dairy/meat being acidic or alkaline. Some things are more alkaline than others, some are more acidic than others, etc.
I think the biggest problem with consuming dairy and meat while trying to rid your body of candida/yeast, is the antibiotics. As we all know, antibiotics are a major cause of yeast infections, because they strip all the good flora from our systems as well as the bad. That's why so many women eat yogurt while taking a course of antibiotics.
In this country, cattle and all farm animals/birds are treated with antibiotics; lots of them. Milk is laden with blood and pus when it's fresh from the udder; it is then treated with even more antibiotics, and they don't even have to be listed as an ingredient!
So when trying to rid the body of yeast, foods treated with antibiotics would seem to be contra-indicated. I would say that especially in these circumstances, only organic dairy should be eaten.
So that's my ten cents for now, beebuddy. Give me some time to take a peak at my books at home and I'll see what else I can find.
