Sugar Is The Favorite Food Of Your Yeast Infection
Candida, in case you didn’t know, loves sugar. It is its main source of food when its feeding in your intestines. So if you’re struggling to treat your infection, then you need to eliminate all sugar from your diet so you no longer feed the yeast beast.
Some sugar foods will be obvious, such as sweets and certain breakfast cereals, some processed foods, and alcohol. But you should also limit the amount of complex carbs you eat as these can turn to sugar when they are digested.
Fruit will also need to be eliminated at first, in saying that, some fruits do have less sugar than others – blackberries, strawberries and apples are the lower end of the scale.
Fresh vegetable juice is good for you and high in nutrition. Go for any food source with strong anti-fungal properties such as garlic, ginger, and lemon.
So, how do you know if you’ve got an overgrowth of Candida? Well, have you been constipated or experiencing diarrhea? Any athletes foot, or fungal infection to the nails?
Craving sugar or bread is a strong indicator. Candida causes toxins to spread throughout the body and this can cause aching joints and muscles. Depression and feeling tearful can be caused by too much yeast in the body. Sensitivities to perfume and cigarette smoke are common with Candidiasis sufferers Yes, unbelievably, all these symptoms and more can all be the result of an overgrowth of Candida.
As you can see the symptoms of fungal overgrowth are extremely varied, and the medical profession even today may be inclined to undermine the true effects of the disease.
If your doctor has refused to accept you have yeast overgrowth or can’t help you, then you should look at getting the help of a naturopath. All the medical profession can do is put you on anti fungal drugs, and in the end they make an intestinal yeast infection worse.
If you are currently taking antibiotics or steroids, then it would be a big advantage to stop taking these if that’s possible, as as these drugs create an environment that yeast loves to live in. Whatever you do, don’t stop taking these drugs because you have found out they contribute to your yeast problem, but consult your doctor to discuss how you may be able to reduce your intake gradually.
Your physical and mental health will improve massively when you eliminate the yeast from your intestines. It’s completely possible to achieve, although it does usually take a few weeks for the natural magic to work. Once you fully learn all the things that have caused your fungal overgrowth you’ll be able to prevent any further infections from happening. In comparison to simply dealing with the effect of the problem by using over-the-counter medications, it is far more rewarding and indeed much healthier.
