Candidiasis can be a pesky infection to treat, more so since the pharmaceutical treatment for such includes the use of powerful systemic antifungals. These antifungals may cause side effects that may even rival the illness it was made to treat. However, there have been breakthroughs in the treatment of systemic yeast infections that focus on more natural means of treating the illness.

1. Diet And Cure For Candida Infections
Candidiasis can be a pesky infection to treat, more so since the pharmaceutical treatment for such includes
the use of powerful systemic antifungals. These antifungals may cause side effects that may even rival the
illness it was made to treat. However, there have been breakthroughs in the treatment of systemic yeast
infections that focus on more natural means of treating the illness.
Candidiasis is caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida Albicans. This fungus exists naturally in the
body, especially in the intestines. Normally, they would not cause any harm to a healthy body.
Unfortunately, though, if there is an overgrowth of these fungi, it could cause a systemic infection (an
infection that affects your whole body). In the case of Candidiasis, the fungus, due to its abnormal numbers,
releases toxins that could harm the internal organs and the mucus membranes. If it manifests in the throat it
is called thrush, and vaginitis if it occurs in the vagina.
There is a proven connection between systemic yeast infection and chronic fatigue syndrome. Candidiasis
is also responsible for skin infections and causes chronic vaginal yeast infections.
The symptoms of a Candidiasis infection include:
1. Itchiness, burning, and abnormal discharge in the vagina (classic symptoms of vaginitis).
2. Intestinal and digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, flatulence, bloating of the
stomach area, diarrhea, constipation.
3. Yeast infections also cause trouble breathing, respiratory ailments such as sneezing, congestion, and
wheezing.
4. A state of always feeling fatigued. This is called the chronic fatigue syndrome.
5. A plethora of nervous illnesses such as depression, anxiety, being irritable, poor concentration and
memory.
6. Candidiasis also causes irregularities in menstruation and PMS.
A Candida diet has been shown to be effective in curing or reducing the systemic infection anywhere from 2
weeks to a few months depending on the severity of the infection. If one sticks rigidly to the diet, relief can
occur in a shorter amount of time.
The principle of the diet is to starve the yeast in the body and create a biological environment that is hostile
to the yeast. If you are a Candidiasis patient given a strict Candida Diet, you will be asked to remove
processed sugars from your diet. The yeast in your body needs this sugar to survive, and removing such
sugars from your diet will effectively starve them to death.
You will also be encouraged to remove white starch from your diet, along with processed foods and oils. If
possible you will be discouraged from taking antibiotics, steroids and cortisone.
You must make sure that the protein sources in your diet are free from chemicals, hormones, steroids,
antibiotics and other synthetic elements. A safe bet would be fish, and fowl that are not grown at poultries. M
