What Causes a Yeast Intolerance?
A Wheat Intolerance is One of Four Food Intolerances
A yeast intolerance is one of the four main food intolerances – yeast, gluten, lactose, and fructose. The yeast in our bodies, which is usually beneficial, is called Candida albicans. Yeast intolerances to the candida albicans yeast in our bodies occur when there is an abnormal growth of this yeast creating much more than we need. This condition is called Candidiasis.
There are many reasons these yeast intolerances happen. Stress, birth control pills, poor diet, antibiotics, and a weakening of the immune system are just a few of the causes.
Diet plays a big roll in fighting a yeast intolerance also. Candida albicans yeast feeds on the sugars in our bodies, so the more food we eat that contains sugar, or converts quickly to sugar, the more fuel we are giving the yeast to eat and multiply.
What are Some Symptoms to Look For?
Here is a partial list:
- Abnormal cravings for sugar and sweet foods
- Headaches
- A bloated stomach
- Flatulence
- Unusual changes in your mood
- Diarrhea
- Furry tongue, or thrush
- Mouth ulcers
- Chronic skin conditions
- Hypoglycemia
How Can a Yeast Intolerance be Treated at Home?
A good candidiasis diet plan can be used to successfully treat candidiasis at home without medical intervention. If you stop eating the foods that promote a yeast overgrowth, you can eliminate the overgrowth. You can easily follow a yeast free diet plan and “starve” the candida albicans yeast, which would cause them to die off and flush out of your system.
Some of the foods you must temporarily eliminate from your diet are the following:
- Anything that contains yeast, such as bread and alcohol
- Cheese
- Yogurt
- Coffee and tea or anything else with caffein
- Fermented food
- Vinegar
- Anything with lots of sugar
- Sodas
Watch Out for Candida Die Off Symptoms!
One thing to be aware of as the yeasts die are the Candida die off symptoms. The yeast has been feeding on the sugars in your body for a long time and now you are starving them – and they are dying. The symptoms you have been experiencing may become worse for a short period of time. This stage will pass quickly and you will begin to feel new health and energy as your body returns to a normal balance.
After two or three months, you can begin to gradually add the foods you have had to eliminate due to your yeast intolerance back into your diet. It would be best to add them back one at a time and be aware of any symptoms that might occur.
