The anti-candida diet is a restrictive diet designed to reduce the overgrowth of Candida albicans, a type of yeast that naturally lives in the gut.
Candida overgrowth can cause a variety of symptoms, including digestive problems, fatigue, and skin infections.
Anti-candida consists of:
- A restrictive diet that eliminates foods believed to feed Candida, such as sugar, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and certain fruits.
- Focuses on consuming non-starchy vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats, and unsweetened low-sugar fruits.
