Candida Remedy – Foods to Avoid and those that Help.

Thrush can be an annoying part of being a woman. Some women are inflicted with Thrush persistently, while others only on occasion, commonly after a course of antibiotics. Candida, a hostile microorganism is actually a fungus but in normal circumstances it lives in peace with the rest of your intestine. Unfortunately, this coexistence is often disturbed by a number of factors which causes Candida overgrowth that can wreak havoc throughout the body, which affects your immune system, hormonal balance and even your mood.

Antibiotic medications promote the growth of yeasts, so this can trigger an outbreak of thrush due to a lapse in your immune system.

Getting rid of Candida is difficult because the chemicals used to preserve processed foods with artificial food flavorings reducing the good bacteria in the gut. In addition, aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen cause inflammation of the intestinal mucosa that can trigger the syndrome of the leaky gut. To eliminate Candida, your gut needs to add friendly bacteria. There are supplements that help, but let’s look at how to treat thrush at home naturally through diet.

  1. Wow, I had no idea that certain types of foods could cause or help prevent yeast infections. I love the picture that explains what to eat and what to avoid. That’s a handy tool that I will save on my phone for a quick glance to make sure I’m earing the right foods for prevention.

  2. I’ve been trying to cut out processed foods for quite awhile now. It takes time but I can already feel my body getting healthier as I lose weight & get into shape. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.

    1. Jen, congrats, it certainly does make you feel better without all that processed overload. Often just eliminating those additives alone can do the trick. Well done.
