Foods that Promote Candida Overgrowth

    Several dietary factors appear to promote C. albicans overgrowth. The most important factors are a high intake of sugar, milk and other dairy products, foods that contain high levels of yeast or mold, and food allergies/sensitivities.

 

Sugar

Sugar is the primary nutrient for C. albicans. It is well accepted that restricting sugar intake is a necessity in the treatment of chronic candidiasis. Most patients do well avoiding refined sugar and large amounts of honey, maple syrup, and fruit juice.

 

 Milk and Other Dairy Products

Several reasons to restrict or eliminate milk intake in patients with chronic candidiasis include the following:

• High lactose content promotes Candida overgrowth.

• Cow’s milk and dairy products are some of the most common food allergens.

• Milk may contain trace amounts of antibiotics, which can further disrupt the GI bacterial flora and promote Candida overgrowth.

 

 Foods Containing Yeast and Mold

Many experts recommend that individuals with chronic candidiasis avoid foods that are high in yeast or mold, including alcoholic beverages, cheeses, dried fruits, and peanuts. Although many patients with chronic candidiasis can tolerate these foods, it is best to eliminate them from the diet until the condition resolves.

 

 Food Allergies

Food allergies are another common finding in patients with yeast syndrome. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests, which determine immunoglobulin E- and immunoglobulin G-mediated food allergies, are often helpful in identifying food allergies.
