Not sure if you have candida or whether I should explain, so I'll explain what it is, just in case - sorry if I'm boring!! haha
Well, Candida albicans is a bad bacteria that lives in everyone, but if the immune system gets low it overtakes and starts eating all the good bacteria. Candida is basically an overgrowth of yeasties, so avoiding yeast and sugar is a very good start. Probiotics are a good idea to start taking, as well as;
- Nothing that is mouldy, e.g cheeses, mushrooms or old veg
- No processed foods
- Definitely no sugar
- Definitely no yeast products, like bread or marmite/vegemite
- Low fruit, as fructose can also help it grow
- Basically just a cardboardy, healthy diet, without too much fruit, sugar and carbs!!
A VERY good herb to take is pau d'arco, I have it in a tincture and it honestly tastes like a glass of whiskey, as it does have alcohol in it, but its an anti fungal and very good for candida...
I hope that helps - any other questions just ask....I like to help where I can xx
