Moldy blue cheeses, processed cheese, cream cheese, and cheese dipping snacks are also generally not allowed. Grains: Many Candida diets recommended the avoidance of wheat and gluten, but there is insufficient evidence that this can help.

Yeasts are generally recognized as contaminants in the production of white-brined cheeses, such as Feta and Feta-type cheeses. The most predominant yeasts species are Debaryomyces hansenii, Geotrichum candidum, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Kluyveromyces lactis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Trichosporon spp.

The yeast species with the highest prevalence on surface-ripened cheeses are D….3.3 The prevalence of yeasts.

You can eat the following foods on a yeast-free diet:

• Rice, rice flour, rice pasta, rice cakes and rice cereals.
• Corn flour (non-wheat flours too, such as potato, spelt – any without gluten)
• Chicken (grilled or baked, breaded with alternative flours)
• Beef.
• Fish and seafood.
• Eggs, quiches.
• Cheese (no mouldy cheeses)

Foods to avoid The candida diet strictly prohibits the consumption of sugar, gluten, alcohol, and dairy products that contain high quantities of lactose. While on the candida diet, people should avoid the following foods: Starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, beans, and peas.

Focus on incorporating these foods while on the candida diet:

• Low-sugar fruits: Lemon, limes, berries (may be eaten in small amounts).
• Non-starchy vegetables: Asparagus, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, kale, celery, cucumber, eggplant, onion, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes and rutabaga (best if eaten raw or steamed).

To protect against candida overgrowth, avoid high-sugar fruits, excess carbs, alcohol and sugar in any form, including honey or maple syrup, and focus on lean meats, nonstarchy vegetables and healthy fats.

Yeast-free grains include items made from corn, rice, oats, and dense wheat products such as pasta. It is not necessary to avoid gluten while following a yeast-free diet as yeast and gluten are not similar. Gluten is a protein found in some grains that helps them to keep their shape by providing a glue-like texture.
