Information about Candida Diet

Candida is a yeast infestation, or type of fungus. Most of us have a benign amount of candida in our body which helps maintain our immune system.

Health symptoms and complications of candida may include: bladder infections, energy loss, puffy eyes, fatigue, food cravings, hay fever, heartburn, hyperactivity, inflammation, itching, insomnia, migraine, mouth infections, rashes, sore throat, thrush and thyroid problems.

Dairy foods should be reduced as Candida can reduce the body's ability to digest fats. These foods and drinks often contain sugar, yeast or other Candida-feeding ingredients.
