The classic telltale signs of a yeast overgrowth ……. candidiasis …… are those of a white tongue (thrush), toenail or fingernail fungus, jock itch or athlete’s foot, and vaginal yeast infections……….. an overgrowth of yeast can affect virtually every system of the body with the gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine, nervous and immune systems being the most susceptible…. common symptoms of candidiasis include:
Digestive disorders, including IBS;
Gastrointestinal symptoms: thrush, bloating gas, rectal itching;
Vaginal yeast infections;
Urinary tract infections;
Athlete’s foot or jock itch;
Fungal toenails or fingernails;
Cravings for sugar, bread, or alcohol;
Diaper rash;
Fatigue;
Irritability (especially when hungry);
Premenstrual syndrome and menstrual problems;
Fibromyalgia;
headaches;
Brain fog;
Skin problems or itching;
Numbness or tingling in the extremities;
Respiratory problems;
Depression;
Hypoglycemia;
Short attention span;
Loss of libido.
What a scary list hey.
Bad digestion is indicated by a deep crack down the middle of your tongue.
Candidiasis almost never occurs in people with healthy immune systems who eat a diet low in sugar and yeast….you need to avoid all yeast and sugar products to kill a yeast infection ……… sugar will literally feed the yeast overgrowth allowing it to flourish……… ditch the alcohol and sodas and diet sodas too if you drink any ………. antiobiotics, especially broad – spectrum antiobiotics will also kill the helpful bacteria which you need for a healthy gut …….. supplement with a good quality probiotic to rebalance gut flora ……… this part is absolutely essential for without the good flora your system will remain completely out of whack …… get a powdered one that is dairy free … easier to assimilate …… eat more alkaline forming foods such as leafy and green vegies, organic nuts and seeds such as almonds and brazil nuts…….. all these foods are rich in magnesium and will thus encourage the production of hydrochloric acid in your tummy aiding in digestion and effective elimination ……..the leafy greens ,,are also rich in calcium and protein ……….. eat organic brown rice and quinoa (prounounced keen ~ wah) as they are both a rich source of the B complex of vitamins and will provide you with the carbs you need for sustained energy and the quinoa is also rich in calcium and iron ………. ….. Avoid sugars such as honey, molasses, fructose, maltose, lactose (that means all milk and dairy products) and fruit juices …… avoid artificial sweetners and foods containing brewer’s yeast – ie – alcohol such as beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, rum, ciders and root beer…. avoid baker’s yeast ie ~ breads and rolls and pastries …. avoid mushrooms … avoid fruits and vegies with any sign of mold growth on them …. avoid fermented beverages and condiments including mayonnaise, ketchup, pickled vegies and pickles, salad dressings (use freshly squeezed lemon and olive oil instead), soy sauce and vinegar …. avoid all types of hard cheeses which are a pretty good source of mold…. avoid processed and smoked meats and fish, including hot dogs, sausages, luncheon meats etc……. these meats are processed with sugar, spices, yeast and other preservatives …. even the packaged vegetarian faux meats are also loaded with sugar, yeast etc… avoid canned bottled or frozen fruit and vegie juices cos they have loads of sugar and are commonly made from overripened or damaged produce; generally the skin of the fruit contains surface mold and rotten spots, which are pulverised into the juice… avoid dried fruits…. avoid coffee & tea as much as you can as caffeine will aggravate yeast overgrowth………………… you don’t need to use medications to kill a yeast overgrowth ….. simply eliminate their food source and they will disappear on their own …… if you normalise the bacterial flora in the gastrointestinal tract you will feel much better and in most cases won’t need drugs ♥
truly, eat loads and loads of green and leafy vegies, squeeze lemon juice over it to spice it up and help torch bacteria and bolster both your immunity and digestive process ……..eat some low sugar fruits each day too such as strawberries, pears and watermelon and cold water fresh fishes ……. do you eat fish?? and brown rice / quinoa and watch it clear up…….. oh, drink loads and loads of fresh filtered water to … to ensure you are properly hydrated as the healthiest and happiest body will always be the most hydrated one .
make sure that you only eat organic nuts and seeds like almonds, brazil nuts and sunflower seeds too as they "preserve" the commercial varieties with sulfites and other nasty chemicals that will upset sensitive digestive systems.
Sheesh mate, sorry it’s so long …… i did this and it cleared up within 6 weeks ….. but i ditched the yeast and processed sugar forever … that was 18 months ago ……. i had a candida overgrowth so bad that 3 of the nails on my right hand looked like corrigated iron …. nail fungus ……. they’re perfect now …… basically ditch eating out of a packet and eat plenty of leafy and green vegies, organic brown rice, low sugar fruits, peas beans and lentils and what other vegies you choose……..good luck.
Take a B complex supplement including all the B’s as well ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid etc….. to support healthy neural, immune and digestive functioning …… especially since you are vegetarian and B12 is hard to come by unless you eat milk and dairy and lean meats ……….. the B complex will help you to better deal with the everyday stress of just life that we are all exposed to at some level or another.
oh, sorry, can’t help with the nut butter.
hope you feel better soon
peace 2 you

Candida is a microscopic fungal yeat that grows naturally in our bodies. It is found on our skin in our colon and if female in our vagina. An overgrowth of candida occurs if our bodies are out of balance. To correct any imbalance you need to be having your bowels open daily, take adequate daily probiotics (30 mins before breakfast on an empty stomach) and watching what you actually eat.
Candida likes all the yummy things we like ie sugar, chocolate, fruit, mushrooms, carbs etc. There are plenty of dietary information out there pertaining to candida.
Apart from what i have already mentioned above you need to adopt some other healthy eating habits like chewing your food slowly, avoiding fluids with your meals or 30 mins either side and practicing food combining, i.e avoiding proteins with sugars carbs and fruit.
Female hormones and medication such as steriods also supports our candida.
Hope this has been of help to you.
