One of the main problems that is causing yeast infections in individuals is the fact that our bodies get thrown out of balance and it is unable to keep the yeast from growing to unnatural levels. It is easy enough for us to be able to correct that problem because we can do so by hydrating ourselves regularly or eating the right kind of foods, such as yogurt and apple cider vinegar. You might be surprised, however, with the fact that we are actually feeding the yeast infection in many cases by the foods that we are eating. Instead of thinking about what type of food you should need in order to get rid of the yeast infection, why not try thinking about some of the foods that you are eating which might be irritating the matter.
One of the worst offenders as far as foods is concerned is sugar. Many of us enjoy eating sugar and we get it in so many different forms that it is difficult for us to even realize when we are consuming it in the first place. The simple fact of the matter is, yeast loves sugar and it thrives on it. If we are eating sugar regularly, we are simply feeding the yeast infection. Remove it from our diet and we remove a lot of the ability of the yeast infection to grow.
Another thing that you may be eating which could be causing yeast infections is processed foods. These are the mainstream of many of our diets but a lot of the things that are contained within processed foods also help to feed yeast infections. Start to eat a more natural diet which includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and you will begin to see some of your yeast infections disappear as a result.

The
infamous yeast infection...the horror of horrors. How do we cure and
how do we prevent? First of all yeast is a fungus that forms is areas
where your PH balance is off or the amount of natural bacteria
or in your system is unnormal(i.e. stomach or even whole bodies after
atibiotics, etc.)To push the bad out you need to introduce good, yogurts
and acidophillus, and multidophilus will put the "good" bacteria back
in your system. Drinking lots of water and cranberry juice
will help to clean the toxins out from the yeasts and will help the
"good" stuff grow. You can also use over the counter medications or a
home remedy of 5 drops tea tree oil and 5 drops olive oil on the end of a
tampon for 15 minutes twice a day to clear up infections quickly.
To answer your question though you should avoid foods high in starch and processed sugar like white bread, and pop. Try to limit these foods to as little as possible to make recovery faster because yeast loves sugar.

- Yogurt is the best for that. Also you can go to a health food store and get some acidopholis pills. It contains the same good bacteria as yogurt but w/out the taste or smell and works about as fast. There are really no foods to avoid during this time. I know how uncomfortable you are. Good luck.0% 0 Votes

Sorry, you must be Level 2 to rate - I've heard a lot of good about the yogurt too. Just be sure it is real yogurt with live acidophilus (the culture)in it. I would use something from a health food store, or maybe plain Dannon from a grocery store. Whatever brand you use, it should be plain, rather than flavored. You asked about things to avoid. I've read a lot about sugar being one of the main culprits for yeast infection. That's anothr reason you'd want the yogurt to be plain.0% 0 Votes
