Candidiasis

To stop the development of fungi such as Candida, nutritionists advise to refrain (usually in a period of 3 months to 1 year) from the intake of sugars and products containing yeast.

Excessive growth of yeast in the intestine is primarily due to a slowdown in the growth of normal intestinal flora. The most common reason for less normal flora is poor nutrition and unwarranted use of antibiotics.

We get antibiotics not only through medicines, but often with food and especially with meat products. These substances are used in the modern food industry in the processes of production and processing of meat, penetrating into muscle fibers, eventually entering our body.

To stop the development of fungi such as Candida , nutritionists advise to refrain (usually in a period of 3 months to 1 year) from the intake of sugars and products containing yeast.

Exclude from the menu:

  • bread;
  • beer;
  • fruits;
  • milk, cheese;
  • alcohol;
  • various spices;
  • caffeine;
  • ice cream;
  • lentils;
  • pumpkin;
  • potatoes;
  • peas.

For most people, such abstinence is almost impossible due to the fact that the restriction applies to some of the most commonly consumed products and foods. A more acceptable option is to limit the use of products that affect the growth and development of the fungus. Such are refined sugar, caffeine, fatty foods. To reduce the consumption of bread made with yeast, as well as mushrooms.

Such a diet is used in parallel with the treatment of candidiasis.

Attempts to combat Candida with strong drugs have led to the emergence of more resistant strains. If the reproduction of the fungus is limited, then gradually the old "outbreaks" die and the "population" decreases. This does not pose a risk of new more resistant species.

Here are some products that you don't have to completely exclude from your menu, but it's a good idea to limit your intake:

  • bread (other than yeast-free);
  • pears;
  • dried fruit;
  • cow's milk products;
  • grapes;
  • vinegar;
  • mushrooms;
  • year;
  • tomatoes;
  • caffeine;
  • wines (including champagne);
  • white sugar;
  • artificial sweeteners;
  • apples.
