Candida Diet Guidelines Basic Candida Diet Guidelines will enable you to create your own healthy meals at home and still get rid of a candida yeast infection naturally and avoid recurring flare ups.The main principle to keep in mind with an anti-candida diet is that you are trying to starve the yeast fungus. This means eating no foods which feed yeast directly, or encourage yeast by being yeasty, mouldy or fermented in their own right. Yeast Feeding Foods To Avoid:Avoid all SUGAR, fructose, and artificial sweeteners (never use aspartame)Sweetening agents such as maple syrup, molasses, honey and malt syrup Sugar-containing foods such as biscuits, cakes, confectionery, ice cream, pastries, sugared breakfast cereals, soft drinks, fruit and fruit juices White flour products, including white bread, crackers, pizza and pasta Yeast, Moldy, or Fermented Foods to Avoid:Bread and other yeast-raised itemsAlcoholic drinks, particularly beer and wine Gravy mixes (most contain brewer’s yeast) Vinegar and vinegar-containing foods, such as tomato sauce (also has sugar), mustard, mayonnaise and all bought salad dressings Pickles, miso, tempeh and soy sauce (all fermented) All cheeses – all of them! Peanuts and nuts of any description Mushrooms, dried fruit, packaged foods and soups You can make your own dressings, soups, etc., if they are free of these ingredients mentioned. Remember: Individuals who have a candida problem are inherently sensitive to WHEAT and DAIRY products. Avoid these foods for at least a month or two, and once the problem is solved, you may be able to reintroduce them. Wheat is found in: Breads (beware of some “rye” bread – it may have wheat too); Wheat based crackers, biscuits, pizza, cake, cookies Wheat-based breakfast cereals, pastries, anything containing wheat flour as in soups and sauces; Breaded and battered foods Avoid Dairy! With the exception of real butter, you should have NO margarine, but you CAN have butter, and CAN have a little really pure Bulgarian yogurt with live culture – although I’d be inclined to say don’t have yogurt for the first month. Soya milk and coconut milk make good alternatives to cow’s milk. Don't eat any fruit for one month. When you do start to add fruit back into your diet, start with grapefruit, berries, and figs. Do not eat dried fruit! Foods You Can Eat On An Anti-Candida Diet
