Chronic Candidiasis (Holistic)

About This Condition

Chronic candidiasis can be hard to spot,as its symptoms are the same as those of a number of other health issues. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Eat foods low in refined carbs and sugars

    White flour, refined sugars, and fruit juices may help yeast grow in the intestine, so cut them out of your diet

  • Try some beneficial bacteria

    Take a probiotic supplement that contains 10 billion colony-forming units a day of acidophilus or bifidobacteria to control yeast in the intestine

  • Check out antifungal supplements

    To reduce yeast in the intestine, try caprylic acid (1,500 mg a day), supplemental garlic (5,000 mcg a day of allicin potential in an enteric-coated supplement), or oregano oil (0.2 to 0.4 ml a day of a coated supplement)

  • Get a doctor’s opinion

    Tests can help you make sure your symptoms are not the result of another health problem

  • Avoid eating foods like bread and cheese, which contain yeast and mold

    Eliminating these types of foods may reduce possible reactions due to sensitivities
