Foods to avoid while on the anti-candida diet
- Sugars: corn, rice or barley syrup, sugar, honey, maple syrup, dairy products (they contain lactose) and any food containing concentrated sweeteners.
- Foods easily converted into simple sugars: melons, dried fruits, fruit juices, refined flour and white rice.
- Yeasts and fermented foods: yeast (baker's, food, beer), bloomy rind cheeses, soy sauce, all types of vinegar, marinades, smoked meats and smoked fish, miso, tempeh and malt products.
- All alcoholic drinks.
Foods that promote yeast overgrowth:
- Mushrooms
- Melons
- Peanuts
- Pistachios
- But
Do not consume more than one serving per day of the following foods, with a high glycemic index: sweet potato, potato, parsnip, cooked carrots.
Favor foods that are free of yeasts and that strengthen the immune system:
- Healthy proteins: dried beans, deep-sea fish, eggs, organic chicken and turkey, raw or soaked nuts and seeds (except peanuts and pistachios), goat milk and yogurt.
- Grains: millet, buckwheat, rye, barley, amaranth, quinoa, all sprouted seeds (barley, rice, millet, sunflower), khorasan wheat (Kamut), whole wheat and spelled. Check that the products are yeast-free.
- Non-starchy vegetables: leafy green vegetables, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, kohlrabi, zucchini, onion, garlic, seaweed (nori, palmated seaweed, etc.) and alfalfa.
- Sweetener: Stevia is extracted from a plant. It is the only sweetener that candida does not feed on, so you can use it at will.
- Condiments and oils: Bragg amino acids (soy-based, wheat-free, unfermented sauce), hummus, tahini and raw nut butters, garlic, lemon, onion, palmate seafood (as a substitute for salt), any fresh or dried aromatic herb, ghee (clarified butter) and extra virgin olive oil.
