The Key Stages Of A Candida Albicans Diet

Normally a person suffering from Candida Albicans will be advised to change their diet to help fight the candida overgrowth naturally. There are four main stages that you will need to follow when using a Candida Albicans diet. In this particular article we will be looking closely at the first two stages and which we consider the most important get right and follow carefully to the letter.

But, why does someone with a candida overgrowth need to change their diet?

Candida is microscopic yeast that lives on or in the moist and warm parts of our body. But once it overgrows it can create complications from mild irritation simply dealt with, all the way through to severe systemic problems, that can be life threatening.

If a candida overgrowth occurs, then the purpose of the candida diet is to starve the yeast infections to suppress it and also to increase the nutritional content of the foods that are eaten, allowing the body to build up its natural defenses to the candida infection.

A word of caution - There are a number of conditions that can have similar symptoms to a candida overgrowth, so it is important to get a proper diagnosis before embarking on any major lifestyle changes.

Here are some of the stages that a candida diet follows:

1. The Elimination Stage

During this part of the Candida Albicans diet you will need to eliminate all those foods, which are actually contributing to your problem, so you stop helping create the environment that the candida thrives in.

In many cases, the foods that are eliminated can be slowly reintroduced later once the symptoms show that there are signs of improvements.

Most people who suffer with a mild case of Candida will try this stage of the diet for around about 3 months to see if it helps in alleviating the symptoms in any way. Whilst those who are suffering from more severe symptoms should seek medical help before they try this stage as their problems may not in fact be caused just by Candida Albicans and rather be the result of some other underlying disease or ailment that has not been diagnosed.

As well as eliminating all foods which contain processed sugars, this stage of the diet will require the removal of fruit, fruit juices and fruit sugars along with processed foods, fermented products (ones which have either been made using a fermenting process or which contain yeast). They will also need to eliminate all types of simple carbohydrate foods from their diet along with fungal products (mushrooms and cheeses).

2. The Cleansing and Food Choice Stage

During this stage of the diet you will need to drink plenty of water in order to help your body remove the toxins that have been caused by the Candida Albicans. It is has been found that an overgrowth of Candida Albicans can produce 79 different types of toxins in the body, and the faster they are removed the less symptoms there will be. Drinking generous quantities of liquid will help to flush these toxins out of the body.

It is good to start each morning drinking a cup of hot water with lemon juice or pure water. Although lemons are a fruit squeezing a small amount of juice into hot water is beneficial in helping to remove unwanted toxins from your body.

You should also eat plenty of fresh salads (especially with raw vegetables in them such as celery, peppers etc), not only are they great for detoxing your digestive system but they help to provide you with energy that your body needs in order to recuperate.

Include vegetables in the diet that suppress the growth of Candida Albicans (those with anti fungal properties), and including garlic, onions, cabbage, broccoli, turnip and kale.
