Yeast, including Candida, feed off of sugar and require sugar to maintain their growth and development. So in order to prevent this from happening you must eliminate ALL sugar from your diet.
These include: white sugar, brown sugar, maple syrup, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses, fruit and fruit juices.
White flour and starchy foods will also convert to sugar in your body and feed the Candida growth and should be avoided. Sugar is far worse than most people are even aware of. It makes you wonder how healthy something like sugar must be when it feeds organisms like fungus and parasites.
Alcohol
Your body is actually producing an abundance of alcohol when you suffer from Candida. When yeast and sugar are combined the byproduct is alcohol. When Candida is flourishing in your body, the alcohol production is increased. Acetaldehyde, a toxic by product of alcohol also becomes produced in the body. Acetaldehyde is 30 times more toxic than alcohol and is responsible for many Candida related health problems including brain-fog and fuzzy thinking. When you have Candida acetaldehyde is produced every day!
Consuming alcohol will put unneeded stress on your body and specifically your liver. Your liver is already carrying a major burden by attempting to detoxify all the toxic compounds released by Candida every day. Degeneration of the body leading to aging, and accelerated disease, will occur over time if not treated effectively by the body.
Yeast
As mentioned, Candida is a form of yeast, and when a Candida sufferer consumes other types of yeast it acts as a fuel for Candida to multiply. This additional yeast works hand in hand with sugar to produce what is called fermentation in the body. This creates alcohol and the toxic acetaldehyde is again produced as a byproduct.
There are many more foods to avoid such as dairy, processed foods and fermented foods to name a few. But three mentioned above are the basic.
By the way, if you've been asking youorself how to get rid of blackheads, they require just as much work (well, maybe a little less) as a candida symptoms treatment.
