1. Stop consuming a refined sugar and carbohydrates. Refined sugar (that includes simple carbohydrates like honey and mollassas) along with other refined carbohydrates (such as white rice, white flour, all types of cereals etc…) all feed the candida. Eating such foods will make yeast reproduce. To stop yeast overgrowth, use Stevia sweetener rather than sugar and use whole grain gluten free products (such as brown rice, buck wheat bread) to replace refined carbohydrates.

2. Foods which contain yeast or mold (like mushrooms, dried fruits, white vinegar, calm and condiments) can also stimulate Candida and really should not be consumed.

3. In order to fight Candida your immune system must be strong. Using antibiotics may weaken your immune system and rid your body of favorable bacteria. Consequently, many nutritionists suggest that their sufferers cease using antibiotics and reduce consumption of dairy products that could also contain antibiotics. Since building up the immune system will be a fundamental element of combating yeast infections, every day usage of garlic may lessen the likelihood of recurring yeast infections.

4. Cows milk and other dairy products should be eliminated from your diet.  Excessive mucus comes from your allergic reaction to the products and can slow your digestion.  Digestion and allergies are some of the main factors in yeast infections.  An alternative to cows milk would be organic goat or sheep’s milk.

5. One of the hot topics in health and diet these days is your PH Balance.  To slow or even stop the growth of Candida it is important to keep your acid-alkaline in balance.  Your PH really measures the amount of acid you have in your blood.  It ranges from 0 to 14 with 7.35 to 7.45 being a sign that your PH is in balance.  When these numbers are too high the yeast grows.  A diet that is alkaline would consist of food such as Green juices, fresh vegetables, almonds.  It would be high in magnesium, calcium, and cesium.  It could also include in moderation foods with a higher amount of acid like fish, whole grains, dairy and most meats.  Buy making sure your PH is in balance you can control the yeast growth much easier.

As you can see a few changes can make a world of difference.  Are they easy… well no. Are they worth it… well YES!
