Yeast Free Diet


!±8± Yeast Free Diet

A yeast free diet is something that anyone who suffers from the pain, suffering and embarrassment of a yeast infection - whether it be of the vagina, penis, mouth or skin. If you cannot seem to get rid of candida, then you should seriously consider altering your diet to reduce your consumption of foods that might be contributing to excessive yeast in your body. This article will review what you should (and should not) eat when eliminating yeast from your diet.

Everyone has some level of the yeast candida fungus in their bodies. The problem becomes when the yeast levels rise to the point that they find a place in the body to migrate to and multiply - causing a rash, burning, itching and frequent pain and discomfort. For many people - applying anti-fungal remedies (either topical or oral) get the yeast levels back under control. However - some people seem to have problems with frequent and reoccurring candida infections and need to take further steps to get rid of the problem. Enter the yeast free diet. A diet which reduces yeast levels limits or eliminates certain types of foods that increase levels of candida in the body. These foods that one should avoid include anything that is made with yeast, fermented foods, sugar, dairy products, alcohol (that breaks down into sugar when digested) as well as starches.

Foods to eliminate or avoid on a yeast free diet

Get rid of foods that contain yeast - including pastries, cookies, breads, rolls and pretzels. Condiments that you should avoid include salad dressings that contain sugar, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, mustard and pickles. Alcohol intake should be minimal - particularly beer as yeast is one of its ingredients. Stay away from foods that are 'moldy' - including all cheeses as well as smoked, picked or dried meats. Mushrooms, pistachios, peanuts and bacon should be on the 'do not eat' list. Probably the biggest thing to eliminate is any foods that contain sugar - whether it be brown, confectioners, or granulated. Maple syrup and high-fructose corn syrup should be avoided. Also - certain fruits that are high in fructose should be eliminated - including dates, figs, prunes, raisins and grapes. Asian foods and condiments to limit include tempeh, miso, tamari and anything made with soy sauce. Probably the hardest food to stay away from (but you should) is chocolate. Starchy foods to eliminate include potatoes as well as corn.

Foods you can eat on a yeast free diet

OK - you are thinking 'what exactly can I eat' - here is the list. Think 'healthy'. Eat as many vegetables (except) corn as you can - especially any that have dark green leafs. All varieties of beans are a 'good thing'. Most meats are a 'go' - including poultry, fish, shellfish beef and pork (as long as it is uncured). Eggs (which are a good source of protein) are good for you. Stick to whole grains - including buckwheat, couscous, rice, barley and millet. If you are going to eat pasta - make it whole grain - made of spelt, rice or corn. Seeds and nuts are good for you as long as they are unprocessed. If you need an oil to cook with, make it unrefined - the type that you need to refrigerate.
