Candida

Diet and supplements that I have found useful for candida - Jo, Hitchin, UK

I have found I am more susceptible to candida and fungal infections, since the menopause. For this I add cinnamon to my porridge every morning, I also eat a lot of shitake mushrooms, both of these have an anti-fungal property in them. I avoid sugar and wheat, as these encourage fungal growth, and if I do eat something sweet, and start to get symptoms, I take a high dose acidophilus supplement.

I thought I had not had any antibiotics since I was a child, but then I realised that animals are fed antibiotics, and I eat meat. Since this realisation I only eat organic meat.
