What is the Candida Diet (Yeast Diet)?

The Yeast Diet (also known as the Candida Diet), is a natural cleansing diet that combines dietary restrictions with anti-fungal supplements in an effort to detox the body from an overgrowth of yeast. Since Candida Albicans is one of the most common forms of yeast associated with yeast overgrowth, many people refer to the diet as the Candida Diet or simply the Yeast Diet.

In general, the yeast diet prohibits use of foods that encourage yeast overgrowth including sugar, yeast, dairy, fruit, fermented and processed foods. Supplements are also generally taken in combination with the Candida diet to rid the body of excess yeast and to re-populate the body with friendly bacteria that help to keep the naturally occurring yeast in balance.

Time frames for being on the yeast-free Candida diet can vary by individual from a minimum of three weeks to a permanent diet change depending on the severity of the condition. Periodically purging toxic levels of yeast from the body with a detoxifying Candida diet regimen is a great way to support and maintain a natural healthy balance in the organs and body systems.

Why is Yeast Overgrowth Bad?

Yeast overgrowth is bad because it signals an imbalance of the friendly bacteria the body uses to hold the naturally occurring yeast in check. Many things including, antibiotics, birth control pills and chemotherapy can actually kill off the healthy flora of helpful bacteria that keep Candida Albicans yeast under control. When the imbalance of healthy bacteria occurs, yeast can overpopulate causing yeast overgrowth.

Yeast overgrowth has been known to cause many symptoms including recurring yeast infections, digestive problems, gas and bloating, headaches, fatigue, frequent illness, depression, mood swings and even joint pain.
