What is a yeast free diet?
Yeast free dieting also known as Candida free dieting is a means of controlling the level of candida in our bodies by abstaining from foods containing yeast. There is so much benefit to be had by following an eating plan like this as yeast has been found to cause a lot of physical ailments; some of which I'm sure we've all experienced. These ailments can include bloating, abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, and many other common symptoms. If the over growth of candida escalates out of control into an infection the symptoms can become even more troublesome or serious. Some of those symptoms may include thrush, rectal inflammation, vaginitis, or bladder inflammation, not to mention it can actually be fatal if the infection occurs in the intestines.
