You Need a Good Diet for Candida to Win This Fight!!

In moderation, fruit can be part of a healthy diet for candida

If you want to rid your body of a candida albicans overgrowth, you will need to adopt a very specific diet for candida for a few short weeks. An elimination diet is the natural treatment when your body has produced too much yeast.

This candidiasis diet will eliminate all foods that feed the “yeastie beasties” and cause them to multiply.  Instead, they will be starved out.

What Foods Cause a yeast intolerances?

Here are some of the foods and food groups you must stop eating as part of your diet for candida:

1.  Sugar is the favorite “fuel” for yeast. Candida albicans feed off of sugar, no matter which kind – high fructose corn syrup, maple syrup, white sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses – all are favorites of candida albicans. When you put these products into your body, a feeding frenzy begins and the yeast multiply quickly. Read labels and don’t eat anything that contains any of these products.

2.  White refined flour and any food high in simple carbohydrates turn into sugar quickly and feed the yeast. These products include all bread products, rolls, cookies, pastries, pretzels, etc.

3.  Alcohol
Yeast + sugar = alcohol

When candida albicans flourish, your body increases it’s production of alcohol. As a result, there is a toxic by-product of alcohol, called acetaldehyde, that can be produced by the body.

Your liver, already overloaded in it’s efforts to detoxify all the toxins the candida albicans releases each day, becomes over-stressed by the alcohol.

4.  Foods that are made with vinegar, such as mayonnaise, salad dressing, BBQ Sauce, mustard, pickled foods.

5.  Fermented foods such as sauerkraut and cider.

6.  ”Moldy” foods such as cheese, dried/smoked/picled meats, cured meats such as bacon, mushrooms, PEANUTS, Pistachios, soy sauce, Miso, Tamari, tempeh,  pre-packaged herbs, prepackaged teas, and canned tomatoes.

7.  Avoid soft drinks like the plague, as well as high sugar drink mixes, fruit juices and the following fruits which contain concentrated sugar: dates, prunes, figs, citrus fruit, grapes and raisins, and especially dried fruit.

Well, What Can I Eat?

Good question!

Here are some suggestions:

• Most vegetables, especially the dark, leafy green type
• Any kind of beans
• Beef, poultry, fresh/uncured pork
• Fish and shellfish
• Eggs
• Whole grains – barley, millet, couscous, buckwheat, brown rice
• Whole grain oatmeal and pastas
• Unprocessed seeds and nuts
• Unrefined vegetable oils (the kind that you have to refrigerate)

How Long Must I Stay on This Diet for Candida?

Well, some people can start reintroducing the “forbidden” foods back into their diet in as short as three weeks, but an average of three to six months is probably more accurate.

When you do feel that most of the excess of candida albicans have been “starved” and left your system, introduce the foods you love the most slowly, one at a time, and pay attention to how they make you feel. If your candidiasis symptoms begin to return, drop the offending food and return, briefly, to your diet for candida.
