The candida diet is very restrictive, however it is only temporary until your symptoms improve. Everyone can tolerate small amounts of yeast, but its important to determine your threshold otherwise the dreaded candida will return.
So a yeast free diet involves avoiding:
* All sugar and sweet foods including chocolate and sweets
* Beer and wine
* Cheeses (they all grow mould readily)
* Dried spices and herbs (use fresh instead)
* Jams, honey and spreads
* Over ripe or bruised fruit and vegetables
* Peanuts, peanut butter, pistachio nuts
* Preserved products: salami, bacon, ham, pate, sausage.
* Processed foods generally
* Processed tomatoes (eg. semi-dried, dried and tinned) and tomato products like tomato paste and tomato soup.
* Refined flour products: white bread, pizza, cakes etc.
* Soft drinks and mixers like tonic and dry ginger
* Yeast extracts like Vegemite and Marmite
* Yeasts and fungi (eg, mushrooms)
So basically this means avoiding all foods that contain sugar (including fructose) and refined flours (as these feed candida) and any foods that many contain mould or fungus. I have a compleat guide to yeast free eating that I can email you if you're interested.
It can never hurt to try a 'detection diet' for candida, ie follow the yeast free diet for 2 weeks and see if you're symptoms improve.
