There are three forms of Candida:
Candida species are the most common causes of fungal infection. Approximately 90% of infections are caused by five species: Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida krusei.
The most common being Candida albicans, usually simply referred to as Candida and is the overgrowth of yeast within the body.

I am often ask what is the best diet for those living with Candida. The first and most important thing you must do is eliminate sugar from the diet.

Focus instead on proteins and vegetables. i.e.: meat, fish, seafood and a vegetable. Check out the right sidebar of this blog for MENU IDEAS and you will find lots of candida friendly menu choices.
