What Can Or Should I Eat For A Chronic Yeast Infection?
by Gary Beech
I have a hard time shopping and I need advice on what I should buy. I've been eating brown rice and vegetables and I am feeling like I am dying from malnutrition. The shops round where I live don't offer much variety I'm afraid, so I am kind of restricted. I want to know if I can eat fresh vegetable curries or stews or something I can make easily as I am not a very good cook. I wrote to you before saying that it has caused my body to give off a foul odour which I can't get rid of and I seem to think that it has caused leaky gut syndrome and no matter what I eat my body reacts to it by coming out in a rash which I think are called hives. I have lost all my friends and my job because of this so as you can imagine depression has set in causing me to contemplate suicide. I know there is no overnight cure and my doctor refuses to accept my illness saying that I should cut out garlic but there is so many contradicting remedies out there I don't know which ones to look at. I need some one to talk to who has same symptoms because suicide does only seem my easy way out of this dismal life that I used to enjoy. If you could give me some advice on what food I could survive on then it would be much appreciated as this could actually save my life. As I said before I am not a very good cook and I live on my own so if you could make it as simple as you can I would be very grateful. Thanks very much. Dear Gary, I'm so sorry to hear you are having such a struggle. I did reply to your other question about laxatives and yeast infections. Please find someone to talk to about your suicidal thoughts. There must be someone in your area that you can confide in. It doesn't have to be a friend. You could speak to a counselor or a minister. Sometimes strangers are easier to talk to than people we know. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It doesn't really fix anything, and unless you know the Lord it only makes things much worse! We have a few different pages here on the site with good ideas for the kinds of food you should eat when you are trying to get rid of a yeast infection. If you read through those links, that will help you know what you can eat. Vegetable curries might be okay if you modify them to eliminate anything that's not compatible with a candida diet. I've never made a curry, so I'm not the best person to ask. :) By the way, what reason did your doctor give you for cutting back on the garlic? What type of garlic are you using - real garlic, or garlic capsules? Although garlic is generally considered quite helpful for combating yeast overgrowth, I have read that certain garlic oil capsules can be harmful if taken in excess. The other suggestions I gave you when I answered your earlier question are still my best suggestions as far as natural supplements that should really help you start feeling better soon. Definitely try them if you can. I've added you to my prayer list and I hope that you will start to feel better and be encouraged soon. To your good health! Angie
