Q&A: Is yogurt okay on a Candida diet?
Question by Juanita S: Is yogurt okay on a Candida diet?
I’ve been reading over 2 different diets for Candida and one says to have yogurt and the other says not to. One says you can have lemons and limes and the other says not to. One say you can have carrots and the other says not to? Which diet should I go by? Do you have any reccommendations for a Candida diet, and what about the yogurt?
Best answer:
Answer by SALLI58
As long as it doesn’t have sugar it should be okay.
Foods to Eat
Vegetables (including plenty of raw garlic), protein foods (beef, chicken, eggs, fish), live yogurt cultures (both dairy and non-dairy,) FOS*, whey, acidophilus, green algae’s (such as spirulina and chlorella), nuts, seeds and oils, and non-glutenous grains (like millet, rice, rice bran and oat bran).
* FOS, or Fructo-oligosaccharides, are nondigestible dietary fibers that help to keep the stomach and bowels healthy. FOS are considered a “prebiotic” because they nourish the naturally present “friendly” bacteria (especially Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli) which help to ward off infection in the digestive system.
Foods to Avoid
Aged cheeses, alcohol, chocolate, dried fruits, fresh fruits, fermented foods, mushrooms, vinegar, glutenous foods (wheat, rye, oats, barley), all sugars, honeys and syrups (that includes any ‘ose’, like lactose, sucrose etc), and foods that contain yeast or mold (breads, muffins, cakes, baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, melons, peanuts – although nutritional and brewer’s yeasts are not harmful, as they do not colonize in the intestines).

How does yeast/Candida leave your body?
Question by KW: How does yeast/Cadida leave your body?
And how will I know if the candida diet and probiotics are working?
Best answer:
Answer by IMGold
You will know if the diet and probiotics are working when you stop having symptoms. Of course, it depends on the severity of your symptoms.
I had severe yeast problems – since 1987 after a hysterectomy and it seemed like my body turned on itself. No matter how many diets and probiotics I took, I still had symptoms. Even when the itching, burning symptoms went away – sometimes only because of a prescription drug – the discomfort in my abdomen remained. I was informed I had “systemic yeast” and would probably just have to “learn to live with it,” take probiotics all the time and still end up with the heavy prescription drug when necessary.

I have 2 persistent skin infections so it might be best for me to tackle the problem at its core, rather than superficially.

You can control candida by diet, as its a yeast infection. Get a proper diagnosis first as it may be something else such as eczema which requires different treatment.

How to get rid of a yeast infection on a budget?
Question by little_flower_of_god: How to get rid of a yeast infection on a budget?
I have a yeast infection that didn’t react to what the doctor prescribed… I can’t afford to go back to the doctor. I also don’t want to spend too much money on something over-the-counter that might not work either. Does anyone know of any easy ways of getting rid of this naturally?
Best answer:
Answer by KayleenR
I’ve heard about the yogurt, I think you use the bifidus yogurt, although I have never tried it. Once you are rid of the infection drink lots of fluid, about 2 liters per day, and cranberry juice is also good, one or 2 glasses per day. Really this is an area that you cannot compromise on , go back to the doc, tell him it did not work. I know you have a rather tight budget, but your health is really one area you cannot compromise on.

Q&A: How Long Does It Take For Yogurt To Remove Yeast Infection?
Question by michell718123: How Long Does It Take For Yogurt To Remove Yeast Infection?
I put plain yogurt (with active culture) around my vulva and inside my vagina with a tampon, to get rid of a yeast infection the natural way. A couple of hours later, I do feel relief.
But how long will it take for the yeast to be complete vacant from my vagina, and when will my skin completely restore itself?
Best answer:
Answer by Larkin L
If it’s working, keep using it for at least 3 days. If it comes back, you should buy Monistat 7 instead.

Natural And Effective Yeast Infection Treatment
Those at high risk for yeast infections are mainly women due to the nature of their biology. This means that the vagina is a moist and warm place, and yeast just likes this to hide and host in, and then bring about an infection. Additionally, hard drinker and those who have diabetes are also at a high risk for getting a yeast infection.
In the treatment, hydrogen peroxide can be opted for when making a douche. Put in 2 capfuls of hydrogen peroxide to a quart of warm water. Another way to go about this is by adding a couple of capfuls of hydrogen peroxide to your bath water and soak. Always remember that the vagina is self-cleansing. After having cleared up the yeast infection, you need not to douche on a regular basis.
Garlic works like magic on yeast infection, almost. You can just insert a clove of garlic into your vagina. Do this for 2 days with intervals of a few hours. You can ingest it orally, too.
Having at least eight 8-oz. glasses of water daily will help, too. You get to urinate more, thus eliminating the sugars that feed yeast. Also, you get to lessen your chances of getting another yeast infection.
Yogurt is yet another famous choice for a lot of women when they suffer from yeasty infection. Eating yogurt is okay, but applying directly to the infection is the way to go. Yogurt has Lactobacillus Acidophilus in its ingredients, which is found in a healthy vagina. You can freeze the yogurt and insert it into your vagina like you would a tampon.
Moreover, to boost your immune system, take into consideration taking vitamin and nutrition supplements. Say, intake of Vitamins A, C, and E regularly throughout the period of your fungal infection will boost the efficacy of your immune system and then help the health and appearance of your skin, too.

Q&A: What is the treatment of Candida in women?
Question by Rakyz: What is the treatment of Candida in women?
Detailly its sort of itching of the pubic area mostly in women.
Best answer:
Answer by Hearts
You need to see your gynecologist regarding this. She would be in the best position to prescribe you a medicine. Canesten is a good brand, and it comes in creams and vaginal tablets. Diflucan is also good, and is a one-time pill, if i remember it right.
Being overweight can also be a cause for frequent infection– as yeast likes sugar. A good diet might be of help.
I would also suggest the use of cotton “breathable” panties. You need to keep the area dry, as yeast would thrive in moist warm areas.
I hope I’d been of help to you.

How to use Vaginitis Powder to treat Vaginal yeast infection?
Question by : How to use Vaginitis Powder to treat Vaginal yeast infection?
I heard Vaginitis Powder can cure Vaginal yeast infection. But I dont know its detailed usage.
Is anybody who has ever used this medicine?
Best answer:
Answer by pussavecboots
I don’t know what the powder is you’re referring to–if you THINK you have a yeast infection but aren’t sure, please see a doctor to find out, as other infections can have similar symptoms. It is usually a cream or a pill that is prescribed to treat it. Also, OTC creams can work, and there are detailed instructions with the packaging. I don’t know about the powder as being something that would actually treat this.
