Can I ask what "measures"? I see that the diet suggested for (combating) candida has some similarities to the EFI diet; reducing/eliminating fatty foods, processed foods, dairy, caffeine, alcohol etc. as well as using supplements like probiotic acidophillus, soluble fiber and enteric-coated essential oils but there also seems to be some differences being vegetables, claiming that the vegetables that inhibit the growth of candida are: onions, garlic, ginger root, cabbage, broccoli, turnips and kale. Raw onions and garlic are very good natural anti-fungals.
The focus seems to be on eliminating processed refined sugars and bleached flour as it (Candida) thrives on carbohydrates, preserved refined foods and mold. Also foods that contain yeast and gluten.
A good candida diet will avoid yeast products and fermented foods; vinegar, wine, baker's and brewer's yeast. Tempeh and tamari are potential troublemakers. Avoid dairy products except (Live cultured yogurt which helps to replenish your intestinal bacteria). Smoked, dried, pickled or cured foods, mushrooms, nut butter (Except almonds and almond butter), fruit juices, dried or candied fruit and coffee, black tea, caffeine, carbonated drinks and alcohol should be eliminated.

Do you take a grapefruit seed extract?
An important benefit of grapefruit seed extract is that it is very helpful in alkalizing the blood. Alkalizing the body fluids (raising pH) is one of the single most important health regeneration benefits available as disease cannot survive in an alkaline environment.
I'm not sure what to think as like I mentioned, I'm doing a lot of these things already-proper diet including little fat intake, no dairy, no caffeine and so on as well as taking probiotics. I am guilty however of eating foods with yeast and gluten.
