-Candida Albicans // Foods to Avoid (minimize)

This guide lays out the essential fundamentals of Candida diet: a low-glycemic and healthy program that emphasizes eating foods that nourish you – not the yeast.

Thousands of people know first hand how hard it is to get rid of Candida and yeast infections. Fortunately, you have a lot of power over your health, happiness and beauty – and it all starts with your mouth.

Your diet is one of the factors that decide who wins the constant battle for supremacy in your gut. Imagine you’re a weapons dealer who takes sides with every meal. Friendly bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteria that keep all the bad guys in check thrive on fiber. Candida albicans, on the other hand, loves refined sugar. Whose side are you on?

If you’re like most Americans, you eat food that is over-processed, low in fiber and high in refined sugar. Unfortunately, this type of diet makes an excellent environment for the proliferation of Candida albicans and other potentially pathogenic bacteria in the intestines.

-Foods to Avoid
By decreasing the amount of sugary and processed foods you eat, you give the body the chance to heal and repair naturally. Here’s a list of foods to avoid (mostly empty calorie fillers) on the Candida diet:

-White sugar
-White flour
-White bread
-Candy
-Doughnuts
-Muffins
-Cookies
-White pretzels
-Crackers
-Artificial sweeteners
-Processed starches
-Glutinous foods
-Dried & canned fruit
-Aged cheese
-Alcohol
-Soda
-Energy Drinks
-Concentrated fruit juices
-Additives & preservatives -

Sugar and artificial stuff wreak havoc on your weight, mood and blood sugar levels, which negatively impacts your healing. It’s also important to realize that simple carbohydrates like potatoes, white bread and pasta are basically sugar in disguise. In all cases moderation is key.

If you do any reading on the Internet, you will probably find plenty of conflicting advice. What works for one, may not work for another. Use your own judgment and listen to your body. If you have any concerns, check with your doctor.
