This type of yeast, which is found in the mouth, throat, digestive tract, and genital area is naturally occurring and beneficial to overall health.

If that occurs the result be conditions such as oral thrush, skin infections, vaginal infections, conjunctivitis and canker sores. Following the Candida Diet should relieve the conditions caused by excess yeast. The diet includes a detox period with fasting and possibly use of herbal supplements. The user must also remove all sugar, including fruit and milk sugars, from their diet and limit carbohydrates to less than 60 grams a day. The diet length depends on the individual but usually lasts between one and three months. For those willing to pursue this path ample information is available online to aid with food choices and meal plans.
