What can you eat with thrush?

What products should be preferred during and after the treatment of thrush? The patient's diet must necessarily include:

• Fresh and steamed vegetables, fish, legumes and cereals, poultry, not very sweet fruits (for example, green apples and plums).
• Lemons and lingonberries, because these berries prevent the active reproduction of fungi in the body.
• All kinds of spices, such as cinnamon, bay leaves, garlic, cloves, to help reduce candida.
• Beets, cucumbers, carrots, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, parsley and dill - the fungus simply cannot stand them.
• Chamomile, plantain, alfalfa, oregano, string leaves, black currant and rowan berries, clover, which are brewed as teas. They are useful for any stage of candidiasis.
• Natural yoghurts, seafood, boiled liver, eggs, wholemeal bread, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, linseed and olive oil.
• Seaweed and carrot juice, as they create an unfavorable environment for the growth of fungi.

Nutritionists recommend

In addition to using the foods provided for by the diet, it is also advisable to adhere to the principle of their joint or separate use, which will even faster allow you to establish the work of the gastrointestinal tract and accelerate recovery. With regard to the possible combination of products, nutritionists give the following recommendations:

• It is advisable to eat raw or fresh vegetables with carbohydrates, as well as with meat, since carbohydrates are not entirely compatible with meat foods.
• Eating simple carbohydrates, and this is all confectionery, white bread, potatoes - we simply supply our body with sugar, on which candida grows. Complex carbohydrates (cereals, fruits, nuts, legumes, berries) are not absorbed as quickly as simple ones and do not cause a sharp rise in blood sugar. Sugar is very fond of the Candida fungus, multiplying in its presence even faster.
• Drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day. However, water should not be consumed with meals, but 15-20 minutes before or 1 hour after meals.

The principle of such a diet should be followed at least during treatment and for another 2-3 weeks after its completion. Observing it may seem difficult, but if you make a little effort on yourself, the result will be a quick cure of the disease. Do not eat the same food all the time, try to diversify your diet.

What can not be eaten with thrush?

For the treatment to take place more quickly and successfully, it is necessary to remove products such as:

• Alcohol, including wine, beer, kvass, soda, tea and coffee, as they contain yeast and sugars that promote candida growth.
• Ice cream, chocolate, and all sweet foods should not be consumed for the same reason.
• Vinegar, ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce. They increase the acidity of the body, which contributes to the progression of the disease.
• Smoked meats, fatty, fried and pickled dishes, canned food, sweet fruits, fast food, semi-finished products are also undesirable. Moreover, in most of these products there are no substances useful for your body, but they have a high content of "hidden" sugars.
• Moldy cheese is also not recommended during the treatment of candidiasis.

To ensure that your body is always healthy, and it does not have to constantly fight various diseases, limit in the future, or better even exclude most of the above foods from your diet.
