The
only important part of your food that is a big no for
such a diet is sugar and yeast that can ferment, and
hence, increase and help the growth of Candida. Hence,
it is suggested to begin a Candida diet by cleansing the
body and storing all the tempting no-no food, including
beer, into a box, away from sight, only to be enjoyed
later when your are victorious over the over-growing
Candida in the body.
Anti-Candida
diet prescribes avoiding aged cheeses, alcohol,
chocolate, dried fruits, fresh fruits, fermented foods,
mushrooms, vinegar, glutenous foods, all sugars, honeys
and syrups, and foods that contain yeast. The
restrictions in consumption of alcohol include wines,
beer, champagne, whiskey, brandy, gin, rum, vodka,
liqueurs, cider, root beers.
The
anti-Candida diet works towards cleansing the Candida
affected body by not feeding them any more sugar. Since,
alcohol is high in sugar that can feed the growth of the
Candida yeast and put stress on your organs and immune
system, it is advised to put it away. Enjoying beer
along with the existence of Candida is putting things
literally on the rocks! Though exclusion
of major food groups and addictives make anti-Candida
diet tough, but the fact that one can go back to good
old times are reasons enough to hold the horses back.
Until you have successfully thrown the excess bacteria
out, you have to follow the holistic ways to get back to
normal.
So
what does one drink while starving the Candida? You can
try water-filtered decaffeinated coffee, malt-free
coffee substitutes, herb teas, madura, Formosan and
rooibos teas, plain and sparkling mineral water,
filtered tap water, malt-free soya milk, home squeezed
grapefruit juice, homemade lemon barley water, Pau
D’Arco tea, unsweetened carob, all vegetable juices,
lemonade made from one part unsweetened apple juice to
seven parts plain or mineral water etc. All one needs to
remember that cutting down on that wine now is
stretching the diet even longer. So a few days off them
and then you include that glass of wine back once the
diet starts working! Balancing the diet you have is all
that takes to tame the Candida in control. However, just
cutting down on beer and following
an anti candida diet will not ensure a complete
cure. To get rid of candidiasis permanently, you need to
follow a wholesome, holistic
treatment.
