Yeast Infection Treatment Through Diet

By Gail Beckey on Saturday, August 21st, 2010 | No Comments

Anyone can get yeast infection. This is not some disease that occurs when an external virus or bacteria attacks your body. The yeast infection happens when the candida fungus that’s already present in your body multiplies to an unmanageable level and causes damage. When does this happen? There is a natural optimum level for all micro-organisms in the body; when this balance is upset, it results in increase of fungus as compared to other microbes, thus causing candidiasis.

Certain conditions like diabetes, obesity, reduced immunity and use of antibiotics may be the causes for this disparity. As a result, there’s a sudden increase in the levels of candida fungus and these form patches in warm, moist parts of the body. Vaginitis, athlete’s foot, ringworm, diaper rash and thrush are all consequences of this increase. These conditions cause a lot of embarrassment to the person’s who’s affected because these ailments are always accompanied by itchiness and skin problems.

However, people suffering from yeast infection can take heart from the fact that just as this infection is caused by imbalance in the microbial environment of the body; it can be cured by just restoring the balance. All you have to do is follow a new diet with less yeast and more probiotics.

Include these in your diet

Yogurt. You’ll find this dairy product in every yeast fighter’s list. Your body balance gets re-established when yogurt fills your body with nourishing good bacteria. It’s good to have at least one cup yogurt every day.

Garlic and raw onions. Garlic and raw onions are known for their capacity to fight fungal infection and should be included in your diet.

Fruits and vegetables with high fibre content are recommended as they flush out toxins from the system and help in restoring balance. Keep off from starchy vegetables.

Have a protein rich diet. Your diet should have fish, chicken, eggs and beef.

You’re allowed to have whole grains like millet, barley and rice.

It’s important to have lots of water as well as refreshing drinks like aloe vera juice.

Food To Avoid

The purpose of this diet should be remove yeast completely; so it’s important to keep away yeasty food substances. This includes

Bread and confectionaries. Avoid all baked products like cakes which are prepared by fermentation of yeast.

Say no to sugar, sugar-based products and other sweetening agents.

Alcoholic drinks are again a strict no. It’s also good to keep off from beverages like coffee and tea. You can have green tea instead.

All vinegar based products should be avoided.

People following this diet should steer clear of mushroom.

Stay away from canned fruits and tinned products.

Avoid cheese, ice cream and butter.

Though this diet seems severe, it’s very effective in treating candidiasis.

If you think you have a yeast infection, I recommend you use a powerful yeast infection treatment. If you want a review of a good one, check out this yeast infection no more review.

What To Do After Confirming You Have A Yeast Infection

By Adrianne Saizu on Thursday, August 19th, 2010 | No Comments

Once you are sure you have a yeast infection there is no reason to feel embarrassment about it. It is a common infection, especially amongst women, you just need to select a treatment and deal with the root cause in order to permanently get rid of it. Leaving it and making believe it isn’t true is not going help. Your doctor is there to advise you about treatment options and make sure you get a professional diagnosis from them too. Two thirds of women think they have a yeast infection but actually have something else.

The overgrowth of the fungus Candida Albicans is how a yeast infection happens, and this fungus lives on all of us in low numbers harmlessly most of the time. The low numbers are maintained by the good bacteria, but if these are killed, the balance is lost and overgrowth takes place. Like other forms of fungus it prefers dark, warm and damp areas to live, which is why yeast infections tend to happen in such places as the anus, penis, vagina, folds of skin, under arms and the mouth.

There are different forms of yeast infection so symptoms vary but common amongst them are itching, irritation and redness. Further health problems have been reported in some cases that include migraines, food allergies, weight gain, depression, pain when urinating, skin issues, and unable to sleep.

Antibiotics are a big cause of infections as they kill all bacteria the bad and the good. Therefore if your problem is low levels of good bacteria eating probiotic yogurt is a good idea. Other causes of vaginal yeast infection are sprays and feminine products that are scented, detergents, fabric softeners, contraceptives like the pill, jellies or foams. It is important to treat the infection as soon as you see the symptoms as an infection left untreated can lead to more serious health problems and are harder to get rid of.

There are several treatment options, medications either from your doctor or from over the counter at a pharmacy, natural remedies too are proving more popular today and can be very effective. Medications come in pill, cream or suppository form and vary from 1 day, 3 day and 7 day courses. The problem with medicated treatments is that sometimes the infection builds up an immunity to the treatment and so it stops working. That is why you need to talk to a doctor so that the right treatment can be chosen straight away to avoid that problem. There are also some lifestyle adjustments to be made like not wearing wet clothing, avoiding tight pants, eating a better diet, drinking more water and sleeping well.

Male Yeast Infection Is Rare But Can Happen

By Adrianne Saizu on Thursday, August 19th, 2010 | No Comments

Male yeast infection is certainly not at all as common as a female yeast infection, but it is true that men can get yeast infections, they are not just a woman’s health problem. Symptoms of a penile yeast infection are very similar to a vaginal yeast infection, and causes and treatments are much the same too. Anti fungal ointments or pills either from your doctor or over the counter.

A yeast infection is not gender based because the cause of it, an overgrowth of the Candida Albicans fungus, lives on everyone both men and women. Usually the small numbers that are there mean it is harmless, and the numbers are kept low by the healthy bacteria we have. If something takes out those bacteria, the fungus is able to grow unchecked and so a yeast infection occurs. There are several reasons why this might happen.

A lot of men may not even realize they have a yeast infection if they do because they expect it to be a female problem. Also a yeast infection is actually a little harder to identify in a man than a woman, after all we are built differently! Causes of it in men tend to be diabetes (yeast feeds on sugar), and unprotected sex with a infected female partner. It is important to abstain from sex while you or your partner has an infection otherwise it will become a cycle of passing it back and forth between you.

Less common causes but ones to know are eating things that make your system more acidic and therefore friendly to the fungus such as corn, wheat, and barely which can have fungus in them that do this. Peanuts should be avoided as should alcohol, particularly beer, and taking a long course of antibiotics as certain types will kill the good bacteria as well as the bad.

Symptoms to be wary of as they may indicate a more severe infection or even potentially a systemic infection are constipation, diarrhea, lack of energy, flaky itching skin, inability to perform sexually, prostrate problems, indigestion and bloating. Visit a doctor straight away.

Oral Yeast Infection – How It Happens, What It Looks Like And How To Prevent And Treat It

By Adrianne Saizu on Thursday, August 19th, 2010 | No Comments

When a yeast infection is oral (in the mouth) it is sometimes called Thrush. The yeast infections are particularly common in the vagina – they simply thrive in warm and moist parts of the body – folds of skin in the obese, the genitals, the anus and of course the mouth are all places more likely to show symptoms of the fungus, Candida Albicans overgrowth.

How Thrush happens: Candida lives on all of us in small numbers harmlessly. Amongst the many other microorganisms living on us we also have healthy or good bacteria. These keep the fungus at low numbers and therefore help us to avoid yeast infections. If the numbers of healthy bacteria go down for whatever reason, the number of fungus will go up and this overgrowth generates a yeast infection. There are a number of reasons the body can become out of balance such as taking of corticosteroids, using antibiotics over a long period of time, being diabetic, poor diet, certain illnesses particularly those that weaken the immune system, treatment for cancer and hormonal times such as pregnancy for women.

Symptoms of Thrush: The infection can develop very quickly and can last for a long time. Common signs are white spots in the mouth on the tongue and inner cheeks, and possibly even on your gums and tonsils too. These spots are painful and can bleed if scraped. If it spreads to the escophagus, it is hard to eat or swallow and there can be a feeling that the your food is getting stuck.

Key method of prevention: – Brush your teeth every day, morning and evening and floss regularly. – Avoid mouthwashes, especially antibacterial ones as these will upset the balance in your mouth, kill the good bacteria, and give the fungus a chance to overgrow. – Quit smoking.

Treatments: Yogurt is great for soothing the symptoms. Use the live bacteria kind and it will top up the good bacteria in your mouth to help fight the fungus. However you also need to deal with the root of the infection – find out what caused it in the first place and make lifestyle changes. There are over the counter treatments that can be tried, and if these do not work, visit your doctor for something stronger.
