List of Foods that Cause Candida

If you take a closer look at the list below, is not hard to understand why these foods should be avoided while you fight Candida:

• smoked, processed meats, aged, fermented and moldy cheeses – all create acidity in the intestinal tract, encouraging Candida overgrowth
  
  
• breads with yeast – obviously, any yeast further encourages an overgrowth of Candida yeast
  
  
• wheat, rye, barley, oats – all contain gluten, which converts to sugar in your body feeding the Candida overgrowth
  
  
• pastries and pasta made with gluten-containing flour or yeast
  
  
• starchy or sweet vegetables, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, yams, squash (except zucchini), beans, peas, carrots, beets – they all convert to sugar
  
  

• beer, wine, spirits - all convert to high sugar
  
  
• caffeine, tea, chocolate - they have a stimulating effect which gives Candida a boost too
  
  
• mushrooms – they are fungi, which Candida loves to feed on
  
  
• nuts, peanuts, peanut butter – typically contaminated with mold
  
  
• sugar, honey, any natural sweetener – obvious Candida feeders
  
  
• fresh, canned, frozen, dried fruits and fruit juice – high in sugars, which Candida feeds on
  
  
• pickles and all vinegar products – create an acidic medium in the intestine, favorable to a Candida overgrowth
  
  
• mayonnaise, ketchup, commercial dressings – contain vinegar, which feeds Candida
  
  
• spices and spicy foods – stimulate Candida overgrowth
