It’s really hard to get rid of Candida without adjusting your diet—even if you’re on an antifungal prescription. The key is to take away the foods that are contributing to the overgrowth.

Avoid these foods:

• All grains
• Sugars (check out my sugar blog series next)
• Fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi, keifer, miso, tempeh 
• Beer, wine, kombucha
• Fungus foods such as mushrooms and cheese 
• Vinegar and items containing it--make sure to read labels here as this includes ketchup, many salad dressings, and pickles

NOTE: You don’t want to take prebiotics while you’re trying to get rid of Candida—which feed good bacteria and yeast—but you can add them in, along with fermented foods down the line, once your Candida is under control.

Add these foods:

• Coconut Oil - Contains caprylic acid (a yeast killer)
• Olive Oil - contains many antioxidants that specifically target Candida
• Garlic - contains allicin, a sulphur-containing compound with specific-to-Candida anti-fungal properties
• Cinnamon - has anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory benefits
• Apple Cider Vinegar - the only vinegar I recommend consuming while you’re treating a Candida overgrowth as its enzymes may help break down Candida
• Lemon - helps your liver detox
• Ginger - has anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties, plus it supports the liver
• Clove - very effective (internal) anti-fungal, can also be used as a topical aid for infections
• CRUCIFEROUS VEGGIES - broccoli, radishes, brussels sprouts, cabbage, etc. have sulphur- and nitrogen-containing compounds that attack Candida
• Wild Salmon (not line caught) - omega-3 fatty acids fight fungal infections 
• Meat broth to start, then bone broth once the candida is killed off and the gut starts to heal
