Wheat is an important source of vegetable protein all over the world. It is consumed as a staple food by converting it to flour. This flour is used in the preparation of bread, biscuits, cookies, cakes, pasta, noodles, and even for fermentation to make beer. It is a surprising fact that wheat is not the ideal cereal that it is often thought to be. Multiple concerns ranging from gluten sensitivity to high glycemic index make it a bad choice for daily consumption, especially if you are infected with Candidiasis.
Wheat is an important source of vegetable protein all over the world. It is consumed as a staple food by converting it to flour.

It is a surprising fact that wheat is not the ideal cereal that it is often thought to be. Multiple concerns ranging from gluten sensitivity to high glycemic index make it a bad choice for daily consumption, especially if you are infected with Candidiasis.
Why shouldn’t wheat be consumed if you are suffering from Candidiasis?
- Wheat contains a compound called alkylresorcinol which has a toxic effect on body processes including killing of red blood cells, as well as damage to liver and kidney.
- It is a gluten grain, which cause problems like inflammation of intestines, reduced absorption of food, and imbalance in hormones. An adverse reaction of our immune system to gliadin (a glutinous protein present in wheat) results into an inflammatory reaction in the intestinal lining and intervenes with the absorption of nutrients.
- It is acid-forming, which causes the Candida to thrive.
- It causes constipation. This causes faecal waste to be accumulated, and it reduces the natural ability of the body to detoxify. It also exerts pressure on liver functioning due to accumulation of toxins that contaminate the blood.
- Wheat leaches calcium.
- It has a very high glycemic index – which implies that it has high capability to increase your blood sugar level. Sugar feeds the Candida. High sugar levels are also found in the urine which provides a thriving environment for the Candida along the genitals. Sugar is also known to increase the capability of the Candida to attach itself to the epithelial cells of the vaginal wall and penile shaft.
- Processed wheat is stripped of all its benefits.
- Wheat is also known to trigger allergic reaction.
Thus, during Candidiasis treatment, wheat is ideally a strict no-no. Switch instead to non-gluten grains such as rye, oats and buckwheat. Consume wheatgrass which acts as a blood purifier. The Candida feeds on wheat , as it is glycemic and also starchy. Go for cereals which are unprocessed and add minimum sugar/starch to your body. It will also prevent your body from acquiring an acidic environment in which the Candida thrives. Candidiasis manifests itself in the form of infection in the genitals and often also in other parts of the body. Itching, swelling, burning and reddening of genitals accompanied by cottage-cheese-like discharge are the common symptoms. Chronic consequences of Candida yeast infection include leaky gut syndrome, bloating, acne, painful urination and pain during sexual intercourse.
Candida yeast infection may attack your system due to a variety of reasons, such as a feeble immune system, nutritional deficiency, the presence of toxins inside the body, mental stress, hygiene issues and even an unhealthy sex life. Eliminating wheat by itself is not enough to fight yeast infection. The other causes of it need to be taken care of by adopting a holistic mode of treatment which works naturally with the bodily processes, doesn’t cause side effects, and restores body balance while doing way with Candidiasis forever. It is imperative to address all other factors that cause it – such as immunity deficiency, improper diet, and stressful living. Following the holistic treatment for your yeast infection can tackle all these issues and restore your body vitality. Note that, treating a single factor will cause the infection to make a stronger come-back, and thus holistic treatments are the best answer to Candidiasis.
