What To Do On A Candida Cleanse

Yeast is a fungus. The most common type of yeast is Candidas albicans. We are all susceptible to getting a yeast infection. Such condition can last for years on end in moist places like the tongue where it appears as a white film and even in the digestive tract.

Using antibiotics, steroids, and being on the Pill could kill good bacteria let yeast proliferate. Yeast has been known to be the cause of so many symptoms and problems such as bloating, Candida esophagitis, eczema, fuzzy thinking, depression, gas, gout, rosacea, pain and inflammation, the mal absorption of nutrients as well as the propduction of toxic substances that are released into the bloodstream.

Once yeast infection is diagnosed you’ll be needing to cleanse it from your system. Here are some of the things that Candida cleanses should include:

  1. Total elimination of white sugar and white flour: Candida feeds off sugar. When you consume sugar you are literally feeding the yeast and encouraging its growth. This brings about more major cravings for exactly the wrong kinds of foods like sweets and breads.
  2. Complementary juice cleanse: A juice cleanse, with the use of the right combination of alkaline vegetables and fruits, will alter the ph of your body so that it is inhospitable to yeast.
  3. Anti-Candida supplements: Supplements like olive leaf extract and others in the proper amounts get rid of the bad bacteria and lay the foundation for reintroduction of friendly bacteria.
  4. Probiotics: Get some probiotics to recolonize your system. You must opt for a high quality product. If you consume yogurt, see to it that it isn’t heated too much that the “live” cultures are killed. Also, check if it has no sugar or preservatives.

More to these, reduce your stress. Stress can be the cause for the rise your level of blood sugar, thus feeding yeast. There is a plethora of specific directions that you can follow carefully when you follow Candida cleanses, to kill bad bacteria.

Probiotics for Treating Yeast Infection

The friendly bacteria that are needed for overall health and wellbeing include Bifidum bacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Such friendly bacteria are said to be very efficient when it comes to curing candidiasis (yeast infection).

They are naturally occurring organisms in yogurt. They are also present in other food stuff, including sour milk, sauerkraut, and pickles, among others. Research has shown that Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidum bacterium produce substances that can stop the growth of candida.

You can buy yogurt almost anywhere, but most found in the supermarket don’t have enough of the live cultures needed by the body.

So as to make a difference in the body, the yogurt or other supplements must have at least 1 billion organisms per serving. Additionally, such healthy bacteria must be resistant to bile we have in our bodies. They should be able to attach themselves to the gastrointestinal lining for them to be able to form a colony of good bacteria. You’ll only be wasting time and money if you buy yogurt and the live cultures just pass through the body without disintegrating before it is eliminated by the body.

If you do decide to repopulate good bacteria with yogurt, steer clear of the fancy yogurt. Go for simple plain yogurt with live cultures. Considering bacteria are destroyed by heat, eat it cold. Additionally, see to it that it is fresh as it will usually contain at least 100 million bacteria per gram. Time on the shelf tends to destroy bacteria.

Refrigerated yogurt is ideal since majority of the live cultures will be able to survive. If possible, go for yogurt that is less than a week old. This is the freshest and it usually still has most of the live cultures. The best yogurt are typically found in health stores.

can you take castor oil while on probiotics?

Question by xxno identityxx: can you take castor oil while on probiotics?
would the castor oil, taking it as a laxative, flush out the good bacteria too though?
oh yh, and can castor oil flush out an overgrowth of yeast- candida?

Best answer:

Answer by Dr. T
Yes, castor oil (taken orally) will flush out the good bacteria simply because it typically causes diarrhea.

Yes, taking probiotics afterward will help to replete the proper flora. I’d advise that you take the probiotics about 2 hours after the castor oil.

No, castor will not have a significant impact on candida (yeast overgrowth) directly. Note that depleting the good bacteria can give the candida a competitive edge, so if there is a candida issue the probiotic is really important.

Final note – occasionally using castor oil to treat constipation is fine. But it’s not a good option for recurring problems.
