For the most part the only part of our diet that we really pay attention to is our fat content, right? Well, women who suffer from any type of yeast infection whether it’s a mild irritation or a full blown infection need to be more careful with certain aspects of their diet. Your consumption of certain foods can have a direct impact on the severity and duration of your infection. Today we are going to look at what types of foods you should eliminate from your diet if you want to permanently stop your yeast infections.

Our short list of foods to avoid. Sugar- We can find all different types of sugars in many of the foods we eat. I wish it were as easy as saying don’t put sugar in your tea, but it isn’t. The only way that you can really tell how much sugar you are consuming is to read the labels on your foods. Also did you know that fruit is full of sugar! Even natural sugars need to be avoided.

Carbohydrates- just like raw or refined sugar carbohydrates are eventually turned into sugar by the body. Sorry ladies but this means that foods that contain white four, starch of any kind and potatoes are off limits. Bacteria love to feed off of different kinds of bacteria and yeast as well. With this being said there is a tremendous amount of bacteria and yeast in things like mushrooms or even alcohol.

Other foods that contain fungus or any kind of yeast will worsen your infections. For example, alcohol, coffee and even mushrooms are things that yeast will feed off of. Did you remember that beer is brewed with yeast? And alcohol is fermented?

Whatever you do make sure that you stay away from bakery products with any kind of sweeteners in them. All kinds of breads, any type of white flour tortilla and most pitas. These fake sugars are the hardest to watch out for as they can sneak their way into almost anything. Look for anything on the label that says syrup or dextrose- don’t be fooled! They most certainly are sugars too and they can do just as much damage to your yeast infection treatment plans.
