Your Diet Plays A Role In Yeast Infections!

By Adrianne Saizu

Do you know that if suffer from yeast infections that there are many foods that you should avoid? It doesn't matter if it is a mild infection or a severe one that keeps coming back; if you cut these foods out of your diet you will be well on your way to permanent relief. Let's talk about a few of these foods so that we can get you on the right dietary track as this will absolutely play a role in how long and how severe your infections are.

These foods should not be eaten during infections. Sugar- I love sweet things and this is absolutely the hardest one for me! Any time you have an infection you shouldn't add any sugar to your coffee or even eat any fruits. Yes, even foods that have natural sugars in them need shouldn't be eaten when you have an infection. This is because yeast thrives on sugar and you could actually make your infection worse by continuing to eat these foods.

Carbohydrates- just like raw or refined sugar carbohydrates are eventually turned into sugar by the body. Sorry ladies but this means that foods that contain white four, starch of any kind and potatoes are off limits. Bacteria love to feed off of different kinds of bacteria and yeast as well. With this being said there is a tremendous amount of bacteria and yeast in things like mushrooms or even alcohol.

Be sure that you remember to not eat anything that has white flour in it; bakery products that are sweetened and even white flour tortilla chips. Sometimes sugars are hard to spot in these foods since they can be called other things like corn syrup or masked as artificial sweeteners. Don't be fooled, these are still sugars; they are just in a different form.

Whatever you do make sure that you stay away from bakery products with any kind of sweeteners in them. All kinds of breads, any type of white flour tortilla and most pitas. These fake sugars are the hardest to watch out for as they can sneak their way into almost anything. Look for anything on the label that says syrup or dextrose- don't be fooled! They most certainly are sugars too and they can do just as much damage to your yeast infection treatment plans.
