Preventing Yeast Infections
The most important Candida treatment is keeping your blood glucuse (sugar) in target and moderately reducing the carbohydrates in your diet. Candida diets sharply restrict “empty calorie” sugar products, grains, and alcoholic beverages. They may also restrict foods that are high-in yeast such as mushrooms, stinky cheese, vinegar, olives, soy sauce and pickles.
Other tips include:
* Keeping blood glucose levels in range will go a long way towards fending off yeast infections.
* Yeast loves sugar and a diet high in carbohydrates, or, hyperglycemia, is an invitation for yeast to breed and become bothersome. Your doctor can advise you if you need to follow a special diet for yeast infections.
* Wear lose clothing, don't sit around in wet places or in a wet bathing suit. You might try using baby powder in areas that sweat and chafe.
* Since it is not uncommon for men to transmit yeast to women during sexual contact, shower or bath if you seem to get yeast infections after being with your partner.
* Early intervention. See your doctor for yeast infections that do not respond to over-the-counter medications.
