Posted on July 23, 2009 in Diet-Health, Diet-Trends, Diet-You

Candidiasis is the condition which occurs due to the overgrowth of yeast cells called Candida. It is present with other organisms in the human mouth tract, throat, intestine, and genital/urinary tract.

Candidiasis affects a wide variety of organ systems. Some of the common examples of Candida infections are – vaginitis; vulvar rash; oral thrush; conjunctivitis. The people who have weak immune system such as cancer, AIDS are more prone to this infection.

Causes Of Candidiasis:
The causes of Candidiasis are:

• Poor diet
• Unbalanced intestinal bacterial infection.
• Cancer patients under going chemotherapy, AIDS patients, and infants are more liable of having disease.

Candidiasis Diet:
There are some alternatives that can be used to suppress Candida. They are:

• Avoid Sugar: As sugar promotes the growth of yeast. So it is suggested that intake of sugar must be stopped for at least 10-15 days depending upon the age, health, activity level and extent of food sensitiveness. Low carbonate items such as meat, chicken, turkey, non starchy vegetables, some nuts can be taken. When the infection recedes then start the intake of carbohydrates slowly.
• Food Containing Yeast Must be Avoided: All fermented foods like bread, cheese, tomato paste, mushrooms and beer. This is done to avoid allergic effects of Candida on to others,
• Other Things Which Are To Be Avoided Completely: Sugar and its products, fruits with natural sugar, yeast and products which are made from it, vinegar, and mushrooms are some items which are to be avoided entirely as the part of this plan.

Candida must be followed until and unless all the symptoms of the infections are not completely treated. Four weeks is the normal span of the diet plan.
