Candida Diets Why Some Bread And Yeast Can Be Allowed
Yeasts are a form of eukaryotic micro organisms included in the Fungi kingdom, the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in baking and fermenting alcoholic beverages for thousands of years. Species of yeast, such as Candida Albicans, are opportunistic pathogens and can cause infection in humans. So when trying to control candida overgrowth you would not add more yeast to your system but not all yeast is active and once deactivated will not be a problem on a candida control plan that has more factors than just diet.
So what yeast products can you eat yeast has two forms the active form (the yeast is still alive these products are usually spongy) and non active (the yeast is dead these products will feel dryer).For example a dry cracker or Crisp bread go straight to ingredients, this product has yeast but it is totally dry the yeast is non active so you can have it.
Although most commercial breads will contain active yeast many do not if yeast appears in the ingredient section you can only eat the product if the yeast is non active where the yeast has been left to die fully, this means the yeast is not alive and will not add to the fungus you are trying to control this sounds confusing but is not hard most bakers will understand what you need and be helpful, distinguishing between active and non active yeast allows a range of breads to be eaten.
Sour dough breads , flat breads, and Turkish breads are fine, also breads can be re cooked or toasted to kill the yeast , twenty minutes in a moderate oven will kill live yeast, spongy areas means the yeast is still active it is very important not to consume active yeast, if bread is spongy there is still active yeast .
The control plan we use hits candida from three directions starving it without starving you, filling the gut with live beneficial bacteria, and giving long term resistance using Homoeopathic’s , a candida diet dose not have to be a painful experience it should be enlightening and leave you with new eating habits that will last a lifetime.
