Candida albicans is a yeast the normally resides in the body in the digestive tract and vagina, kept in check by the immune system and beneficial bacteria in the body.
If beneficial bacteria are killed by antibiotics or if the immune system becomes weakened, Candida yeast can grow unchecked.
Some holistic practitioners also believe that overgrowth of candida yeast in the intestines is responsible for a yeast syndrome, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, headache, mood swings, sinus congestion, depression, poor memory and concentration, and cravings for sweets.
Candida Cleanse Diet is an important component of the Candida cleanse.
The recommendation is that people with Candida overgrowth:
- Avoid eating sugar, sugar promotes the growth of yeast.
The total carbohydrate intake per day is often limited. As symptoms subside, the carbohydrate total of the diet is often gradually increased. - Avoid eating foods that contain any type of yeast. These include fermented foods such as bread made with yeast, cheese, tomato paste, mushrooms, and beer.
The length of time on the Candida cleanse depends on the length of time one has had symptoms and the severity of the symptoms. The general level of health is another important factor.
List of Foods to Avoid Entirely:
- Sugar
- Yeast
- Fruit
- Gluten
- Vinegar
- Mushrooms
- Peanuts, Peanut Butter, and Pistachios
- Alcohol
- Coffee, Black Tea, Cider, Root beer
