Candida Cleansing Foods To Eat

Know What food to eat to keep candida away - So what's left after you take cheese, alcohol, chocolate and various other foods from your diet? Well the good news is the foods to eat section also contains some delicious items. Remember to check out our recipes page for inspiration!

Vegetables

There are some vegetables that will actually inhibit the growth of Candida. These include raw garlic, onions, cabbage, broccoli, turnip and kale. Keep starchy vegetables like potatoes and yams to a minimum.

You should buy your vegetables fresh and steam them. Add a little garlic for flavor (garlic is also helpful with Candida). Not only do vegetables starve the Candida of its sugar and mold diet, they also absorb fungal poisons and carry them out of your body.

Proteins

As part of your plan to starve the Candida yeast, feel free to eat plenty of high-protein meals. Foods like beef, chicken, fish and eggs are all good for you anyway, but they serve an extra purpose in an Anti-Candida Diet. Almost completely free of sugars and mold, they fill you up while restricting the Candida's appetite and growth.

As you probably know, one excellent high-protein diet is the Atkins Diet. Most Atkins recipes will also work reasonably well in a Candida diet. Other supplements can also help, whey protein being a good example.

Live yogurt cultures

yogurt candida
Live yogurt cultures (or probiotics) are a class of supplement that help your gut to repopulate itself with good bacteria. They are especially useful as a course of antibiotics, or when a patient is suffering from Candida. The live bacteria in the yogurt will crowd out the Candida yeast and restore balance to your system.

Good bacteria will also produce antifungal enzymes that can help you fight Candida. Take a look at our probiotics page for more info on good sources for probiotics.

Nuts and seeds

Candida and Nuts
Another high protein option that starves Candida and restricts its growth. Avoid peanuts as they tend to have a higher mold content.

Also consider soaking other nuts in water to remove any mold on the outside (spraying with a diluted grapefruit seed extract solution is even better).
Non-glutenous grains

Wheat and rye are off the menu but there are other grains that you can eat. If you like toast in the morning, try millet bread instead of your usual brand. Rice is OK for a Candida Diet, but get brown rice or preferably wild rice. For cereal at breakfast, try a low-sugar variety with oat bran.
Green algae

Green algae such as Spirulina and Chlorella are some of the most ancient organisms on earth, but they're also some of the most up to date cures for Candida. Scientists have found that they can restore balance to your gut and boost your immune system.
