If you have a problem with excess Candida that makes you sick or have unwanted side effects, you need to understand that your diet plays a big role in this. When you learn to avoid foods that aggravate your condition and eat the foods that help you, your body will adjust its levels of Candida naturally and prevent an overproduction of Candida which causes complications.
Many practitioners and natural or alternative practitioners are teaching their patients to use their diet to help address the problem of Candida overgrowth. To achieve this, you need to know more about what foods to eat and which foods to avoid. In general, your Candida diet should try to avoid sugar as much as possible.
Sugar promotes the growth of the yeast so if you have an overgrowth, you may want to start out by limiting your sugar. You can do this by cutting back or quitting sodas and teas, limiting your carbohydrate intake and limiting known foods with sugar.
You should also limit foods that have any type of yeast in them as this can contribute to the Candida overgrowth. Fermented foods like beer and bread made with yeast are a bad choice. You should also avoid cheese, tomato paste and mushrooms. It is believed that many people with Candida overgrowth actually suffer from a type of yeast allergy or intolerance and it should be treated similar to the way other food allergies and sensitivities are treated.
Some foods that you should avoid are:
Milk
Cheese
Sugar
Gluten
Wheat
Coffee
Yeast
Alcohol
Chocolate
High fat foods
Some foods that are good to eat when on a diet for Candida and yeast are:
Onions and garlic
Fresh vegetables
Approved breads
Rice cakes
Corn tortillas
Meats
Fresh fish
Eggs
Beans and lentils
Cottage cheese and yogurt
These are just some guidelines to start with. You should talk with your doctor if you are on a Candida and yeast diet so that you can determine a plan together to keep you healthy. For many people, it can take a couple of weeks or more to notice results of the change in diet. This is because traces of the foods you were eating before will still remain in your system.
This is why many will suggest a total elimination diet for the first 4-6 weeks of your new Candida diet. After this time, some foods are okay in moderation. Talk with your doctor about your specific dietary needs.
