Going on a diet that is very restrictive is a pain, especially when having to think of all the list of foods that aren't allowed.
If you're on a candida diet or are thinking of starting one due to intolerance to yeast this article will help you with a variety of foods you're allowed to add into your diet. This won't be a complete list as their are many different kinds of special foods that change by country and region.
If you do the majority of your own cooking then it's pretty simple to rid candida from your diet. This is a basic list of allowed items for those suffering from an intolerance to yeast.
Protein
All meats are free of yeast (except if it's spoiled but hopefully you'll never be eating that)
As long as you use fresh meat you're in the clear.
Acceptable Meats:
Veal
Seafood
Pork
Eggs
Duck
Cornish
Hen
Lamb
Turkey
Pheasant
Beef
Goose
Chicken
Vegetables
All sorts of veggies are considered acceptable.
If some of theveggie goes spoiled cut the spoiled part out. Usually the rest of the veggie should be ok to eat. Just be sure it's firm and is not discolored, it should be free of yeast. Foods usually thought of as vegetables, for example eggplant and bell peppers are actually fruits.
Exception:
Mushroom ( is not a veggie, it's actually the fruiting body of a fungus)
Allowed Veggies:
Avocada
Asparagus
Pepper
Broccoli
Carrots (small amounts)
Peas
Tomatoes
Green Beans
Eggplant
LeafyVeggies (Mustard, Lettuce, Greens, Collards, Kale)
Squash
Cauliflower
Beets
Potatoes (small amounts)
Turnips
Onions
Celery
Radish
Fruit
Fruits can be trickier. You have to be more careful with these than you are with meats or veggies. Since a great deal of fruits have a high sugar content it's possible to cause candida growth.
Dried fruits usually have yeast.
A few types of fruit have yeast on the actual skin. Take off the skin of the fruit (has to be fresh) and eat the remaining amount.
Nuts and Seeds
They don't contain yeast and are therefore safe to eat.
Beverages
There are varying ideas on caffeine when on a yeast intolerance diet. Many individuals react well and some react negatively when continuing to consume caffeine. It would be wise to try and drink caffeine in moderation or if you can rid it from your diet altogether.
Here are a few acceptable beverages:
Allowed Drinks:
Water
Vegetable Juice
Decaffeinated Tea
Coffee
I hope this list of accepted foods for those suffering from an intolerance to yeast will put you on the right path!
Good luck and here's to a healthier tomorrow!
