Anti-candida diet

Diet

Raise your hand if you’ve had to take more than your fair share of antibiotics or steroids. Yep, that’s a lot of hands. Many of us who live with hard-to-treat illnesses have learned that well-intentioned efforts to treat our symptoms might have actually altered our gut microbiome and weakened our immune systems. That can lead to candida (fungus) overgrowth in our bodies, sometimes called “yeast syndrome.” It’s not just meds that are to blame, though; poor diet and stress (of course, what else?) can be part of the problem too. Candida is found pretty much everywhere, but especially in the digestive tract. While usually harmless, too much candida can lead to infection, fatigue, headaches, and memory problems, and is thought to be related to autoimmune conditions. If you’ve been on a path to find healing for your invisible illness, you probably know that fungal overgrowth shouldn't be ignored. It’s pretty common, and may even contribute to autoimmunity, leaky gut syndrome, and increased toxic burden. If you’re worried about candida, the anti-candida diet—sometimes referred to as a “candida cleanse”—might be able to help. It reduces the types of sugars that candida and other yeast species thrive on. There are many different versions of this approach, all with the same framework: reduce sugar, gluten, and alcohol, as well as most dairy products and other ingredients that have yeast or feed yeast. The goal is to get your gut back in shape—and get you feeling better! If you’re up for trying this diet, don’t be put off by its rep. While it can be strict, there are different versions. Yes, those who try it say it can be hard to plan meals or socialize while sticking to it. And yes, it can be hard to say how long you have to stick with it to see changes, but some say they feel better within a few weeks (others take longer to see a difference). There are also anecdotal reports of so-called candida “die-off,” where the yeast you’re targeting die and release toxins in the process. As a result, you may not feel so great for a few days (this is called the Herxheimer reaction). Don’t worry—this may be a sign that the diet is working. It’s definitely a sign that you should talk to an integrative nutritionist or other practitioner who can offer strategies to help minimize these symptoms, navigate the diet, tackle your equally challenging condition, and guide you along the road to recovery. You don’t have to figure out all of this alone!

The Candida Cure: The 90-Day Program to Balance Your Gut, Beat Candida, and Restore Vibrant Health

The cult-classic health book, now revised and updated with a quick start cleanse, easy recipes, and more. It’s not news that Americans are sicker than ever. Seventy million of us suffer from digestive problems like acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or gastro esophageal reflex disorder (GERD). Another forty million have been diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression and a staggering fifty million Americans live with an autoimmune disease. But what is newsworthy is that all of these conditions share a common thread you’ve probably never heard of: candida. "Candida" is the term for a group of yeast organisms that have lived in our digestive tract for millennia, in harmony with the other thousands of bacteria, viruses, and archaea that make up our microbiome. But due to poor diets, processed foods, overuse of antibiotics, environmental toxins, and increased stress, our microbiome has been under steady and constant attack for decades. Yeast are of a heartier stock than bacterial microbes, and as bacteria die off, yeast begins to overgrow in the digestive tract, a condition known as candidiasis. Mild and moderate cases of candidiasis present with fatigue, IBS, eczema, depression, brain fog, migraines, and weight gain. Severe cases allow the afflicted to develop autoimmune disease (such as Multiple Sclerosis), cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Ann Boroch’s self-published book, The Candida Cure, has been the #1 resource in candida treatment since 2008. Her program—which she used to heal herself from a life-threatening autoimmune disorder—has stood the test of time, and has become a life-changing resource for more than 65,000 people. Now, in this revised edition, readers have even more tools, with updated information and case histories, a quick start cleanse, and all-new recipes and eating plans.

Your Nutrition Prescription Podcast: Introductory Diet for Candida, SIBO, IBS, Chron's, Colitis, Diverticulitis & Other Digestive Inflammation

Stop the bloating gas, constipation, diarrhea for good. Digestive diseases are increasing dramatically in prevalence and they are also creating an increasing number of autoimmune diseases. Conventional medical has absolutely NO ANSWER for these conditions. They resort to calming the inflammation with antiinflammatory and biologic medications, then resort to sedatives and anti-convulsives to treat the consequential muscle pain, hormones to boost depleted levels, and amphetamines to boost energy. I am disturbed every time I get a medication list from a new autoimmune client. What initially started as a simple candida or bacterial overgrowth has developed into a debilitating health issue through horrible symptom based medical treatment. But, there is an answer. Today, I am sharing my introductory nutrition approach that I use with my clients to help reduce flare ups and clean out their gut. I am happy to share this diet with you, but remember this is only one piece of the puzzle.
