Candida Diet By Mizpah Matus B. Hlth. Sc(Hons)The Candida Diet is designed to eliminate Candida albicans, a group of toxic yeast- like microorganisms that live among many other organisms in the human mouth, throat, intestines and genital/urinary tract. Under normal circumstances yeast live in 8. Candidiasis (Overgrowth Symptoms)When the natural flora in the intestinal/digestive tract fail to control the candida yeast population, “overgrowth” occurs. Overgrowth is uncontrolled multiplication of yeast cells, resulting in various symptoms commonly termed Candidiasis or just Candida. Candidiasis affects a wide variety of organ systems and can produce the following Symptoms: Yeast Infections. Diaper Rash. Muscle & Joint Pain. Canker Sores. Oral Thrush. Sore Throat. Sugar Cravings. Brain Fog. Fatigue. IBSDepression. Constipation. Itchy Skin. Forgetfulness. Gas. Abdominal pain. Obesity. Headache. Bloating. Painful Sex. In immunocompetent persons (those whose immune system is functioning normally), any warm, moist part of the body exposed to the environment is susceptible to infection. This infection is mostly superficial, and proper treatment leads to full recovery. In immunocompromised persons (those whose immune system has been impaired by disease or treatment), more serious systemic illnesses may occur. Causes of Candida. Poor diet, an out- of- balance intestinal bacterial environment, and weakened immunity can all give rise to candida. Overuse of antibiotics destroys the natural flora in the intestines that keep the candida cells in check. Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, AIDS patients, infants, diabetics and others with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to an infection of candida (candidiasis). Corticosteroids and oral contraceptives also upset the balance of intestinal flora. Yeast cells mutate, requiring ever higher dosages of Nystatin (the anti- fungal drug), so that the yeast is strengthened and the immune system further weakened. Candida Diet Plan. Reversing candida. Candidiasis, commonly referred to as The Candida Diet is one of the most challenging diets there is to adhere to. It is extremely rigid, limiting and bland to the senses and doesn't allow for much. Detox The first aim of your Candida cleanse is to cleanse the system of the toxic byproducts of Candida. Fasting, colon cleansing, wheatgrass, fresh vegetable juices, plenty of water, detox herbs, exercise, and anything else that extracts toxins. Reduce the yeast population in your system. Candida treatment must bring yeast cells back into balance. Use anti- microbial herbs and phytochemicals in formulas from your natural or health food store that include a combination of these powerful herbs, 1. The 5 day break discourages mutating yeast from multiplying and developing immunity to the herbs. Inoculate yourself with probiotics. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. People with flourishing intestinal colonies of beneficial bacteria are better equipped to fight the growth of disease- causing bacteria. Lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, along with acidophilus (found in yogurt), maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compounds (lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic acid) that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of many harmful bacteria. Probiotic bacteria also produce substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms. Improve your diet. A diet to eliminate Candida is a long- term lifestyle – and in fact diet is your best defense against candida. Yeast loves sugar and simple carbohydrates; if you keep feeding yeast cells they will multiply, and even the best anti- microbial herbs won’t keep them in check. Eat a disciplined diet for at least 3 months, then When your symptoms disappear, you can expand your diet. But don’t revert to old habits, or the candida symptoms will quickly return.
