Introduction to a Yeast Free Diet

[ad_1]

A yeast free diet is for those who are adversely effected by yeast and is a solution for ridding the body of excess yeast known as Candida. The purpose of the diet is to restrict the intake of yeast thereby encouraging an improvement in the overall health of the person. The body contains some yeast and while their presence is normal, they can overpopulate your body resulting in bloating or pain in the abdomen.

There are a number of foods which one must not eat while on a yeast free diet. These include highly refined carbs such as breads, cookies, pretzels, and bagels. Foods which have been fermented or contain vinegar are also off the list. Some of these include staples such as salad dressing and even mayonnaise. Alcoholic beverages are especially off the list. Cheese and some nuts are also bad as they rely on aging. Part of why this diet is so effective is that it eliminates the sugary foods which yeast intolerant people usually crave. Chocolate, honey, pancake syrup, soda or fruit juices are all out. Even some natural fruits contain too much sugar on this diet, including citrus fruits, grapes, and alleged super foods like prunes and figs.

During the diet you can expect that in about a month, much of the overgrown yeast in your system will die away. Adjusting to the new diet is a double edged sword. On the one hand, you will start to feel a significant improvement in a short span of weeks. You will feel healthier as the yeast dies off. The catch is that all of those toxins being flushed from your system into the digestive tracts can cause fatigue and feelings of illness. Do not give up. It is important to stick with the diet and soon you will bounce back and start feeling the long term health benefits.

Even after the roughly 6 week span of time it will take to flush yeast out of your system, you should try to avoid reverting to your old diet. You can certainly add in some of the foods you used to eat but make sure as you do this, you pay special attention to how your body reacts. If you are truly yeast intolerant, you will soon realize how much yeast you can or cannot eat. The symptom’s will become easily recognizable. The great part about this diet is that it can be returned to as often as necessary.
