When someone with Candida yeast overgrowth wants to start a Candida diet it may seem like a no brainer when it comes to giving up sugar laden foods, right?
Well it isn’t exactly that simple. Did you know that sugar can have over 50 different names? Now most people know that sucrose, glucose, and fructose are sugar and of course anything ending with the word “sugar”, but there are many obscure ingredients found on food labels that actually are types of sugar and most people don’t even realize.
This article will allow you to become a food label detective, not allowing any hidden sugar to get passed your lips, which could sabotage your Candida diet efforts.
As you can see, spotting all of the different hidden sugars in foods can be quite tricky. My advice is to focus on eating whole, natural foods and then the job becomes much easier. It’s usually processed foods that contain the hidden sugar and those foods are full of other chemicals that can also hinder your progress when following a Candida eliminating diet.
Processed foods not only tend to feed yeast cells, but they also tend to cause inflammation which stresses your immune system. While on a Candida diet be mindful of hidden sugars or better yet avoid processed foods altogether.
