In the natural health world, the Candida diet is well known as one of the strictest diets anybody can try.  But the results can be tremendously effective and beneficial.  Today, I'll go over 3 of the major Candida diet foods that need to be cut out in order to make this plan work for you.

Yeast 

Candida is actually yeast, so when you eat yeast as part of your regular diet all that does is facilitate more of its growth.  Why this is the case is a matter of debate, but it seems Candida has the capacity to assimilate other yeasts and use them to further grow. 

Alcohol

Alcohol encourages fermentation, which also helps the yeast continue to grow.  In addition, alcohol and yeast both release a by-product called acetaldehyde - which contribute to the common feelings associated with a hangover.  Many women complain of feeling hungover when suffering a yeast infection without the alcohol thrown into the mix - don't make things even worse by adding alcohol on top.  That's like feeding a fire.

Sugar

This is without a doubt the #1 food to avoid.  Yeast thrives on eating sugar, and including sugar in your diet will undoubtedly enable Candida to continue to develop in your body.  Sugar has to be cut out.  Also, any foods the body breaks down into sugar have to go too - this includes breads, pastas, and anything made of white flour.  Fruits have to go out the window, too - sorry!  You can add fruit back in after you are healed of the Candida.

Avoiding all 3 of these foods will definitely get you on the right track.  But, if you want to eliminate Candida for good, you're going to have to do a little more than just adjust your diet.  You need to figure why your body keeps allowing Candida to develop in the first place.  There are plenty of people who can eat tons of sugar and never once suffer a yeast infection.  There is a reason behind this.   The reason lies at the root cause of Candida, which can be eliminated once and for all - you just need to know where to look.
