Intolerance to sugar or yeast or both can cause many problems, including skin rashes, bowel problems, vaginal thrush, recurrent sore throats, chronic fatigue, irritability, depression and multiple other vague complaints. This has also been called “Candida”. However, a more appropriate term is food intolerance. Many of these problems will improve or clear completely by going on a sugar-free, yeast-free diet.
