Proven And Effective Diets That Can Cure Candida Infection
Charlene J. Nuble
Do you have candida?
Not many people know what candida exactly is and what they look
like.
Candida or yeast infection is an infection caused by the
overgrowth of a microorganism called Candida albicans. This
particular fungus is normally found in the stomach as it aids
in the digestive process. However, it can cause harmful side
effects if it is found on other parts of the body such as the
mouth, skin folds, the vagina and or the penis.
Diet is important in the treatment of the disease. The
following diets can be of great help to completely get rid of
the candida infection:
• A diabetic diet is advised as it contains less sugar. All the
foods that are rich in sugar must be taken in small amount. Food
such as cookies, cake, candies, sodas, and ice creams should be
taken with precautions. Sweetened food that are made from
artificial sugar called saccharine or aspartame or stevia
extract need to be taken with moderation. Sugar intake can
further worsen the infection as it can cause overgrowing of
Candida albicans. Three days of sugar restriction may enhance
the possibility of curing the disease.
• White starch food such as white pasta, bread, cakes and white
rice must also be prohibited. You should take whole grains in
moderation. If you are on a carbohydrate diet, you need to
lessen the intake of the following foods to lessen the
possibilities of growing more Candida albicans. Dairy products
are harmless unless you are allergic to them.
• The increase of intake of essential oils can be a great help.
Oils such as omega-3 oils, fish oils such as tuna, salmon,
mackerel, sardine, and other oils such as flaxseed oils,
borage, and primrose oils can be a good diet. You should at
least take one tablespoon of these oils per day. Some oils that
are found in some food such as salads, canola oil and olive oils
can be useful as well. You should include avocado oils and nut
oils as they are helpful in treating the disease as well.
• Do not just take any antibiotic without any prescription from
a doctor. Antibiotics and cortisone-type prescriptions should
not be taken as possible, as some of these drugs are harmful
and can increase the growth of these microorganisms.
• Regular intake of yogurt about two to three servings a day
can also help in curing the infection. Yogurt contains a
special ingredient called acidophilus that is a powerful and
proven ingredient for treating the infection.
These are the diets that a yeast infected patient should take.
However, before taking these diets it is advisable that you
should consult your physician first for a more thorough medical
diagnosis and assistance.
