Is doing a Candida Cleanse safe for you?

Question by Cherrigirl22: Is doing a Candida Cleanse safe for you?
I was just wondering if doing a Candida Cleanse is safe for you because I tried one and I saw a alot of yeast coming out in my stools.

Best answer:

Answer by Springtime!! Woohooo!!

Yes, perfectly safe. EVERYONE should do one at least once a month, and mind you, a yeast infection (systemic) can happen to anyone. Keepproper body ph, like around 7 or 7.5, and this will never be necessary. You can get a kit from a health food store or online that will show you approximately what it is.

There are a variety of ways to raise your ph, the best being through proper diet. Most Americans are very acidic and more susceptible to diseases of many a sort.

Lemon squeezed in water, great starter. Fending off processed foods for a bit and eating raw fruits and veggies help dramatically. If you are looking for speedy recovery, try eating lots of oregano in your food OR you can get oregano oil, withwhich you will notice almost immediate results, though oregano oil tends to be expensive its a good investment. Dont be fooled though by imitations, like the NOW product line, which are all artificial. Try Oreganol, good product.

Good luck!

Q&A: Can eating sugar produce a smell from a yeast infection?

Question by NYC123: Can eating sugar produce a smell from a yeast infection?
I have a bad yeast infection, which has caused a kind of sour smell. I know that sugar feeds yeast infections and I have been trying to stay away from it, but I have had sugar and carbs while treating it. By eating these things, could the smell actually become worse//stronger? And when the yeast infection clears there shouldnt be a smell when I eat sugar right?

Answer by EROS7776
It would be best to try to avoid sugar and carbohydrates in general while having a yeast infection because it can make it harder to cure. It isn’t just sugar, but flour, pasta, rice, white bread, any high glycemic carbohydrate that feeds yeast. The smell is worse because the infection is worse. Once the yeast infection is completely gone, it should not bother you to eat sugar.

good luck..

Question by bee: How Much Effect Does Eating Sugar REALLY Have On Yeast Infections?
39 weeks pregnant on monistat for a yeast infection. Exactly how much does DIET effect the outcome of yeast infections? Can it really keep medicine from taking effect?

Answer by Doodlestuff
I read recently that for about 25% of people with chronic yeast infections, eliminating sugar and starch items in the diet is necessary to aid medicine in eliminating chronic, recurring yeast infections.
