The list of things to do to cure candida according to Dr. Axe: 1. Stop consuming sugar 2. Eliminate grains from diet 3. Consume foods that support the spline 4. Consume foods that support the liver (e.g. sour foods) 5. Consume foods that support the intestine (e.g. turmeric) 6. Take a probiotic 7. Consume warm foods (e.g. bone broth soup)
I’ve had no sugar since January of 2023. I don’t eat any breads or grains. I eat very Little fruit. I eat a lot of yogurt and kombucha. I eat tons of arugula and lettuce with apple cider vinegar. And I take a lot of probiotics! I have the worst yeast infection right now that I’ve ever had! I cannot seem to get ANY help!!!
@@saramcdowell4735at the beginning you have to not use probiotics because that will just keep it alive and exacerbate the problem. After a hardcore cleanse you can slowly add tiny ammounts and build up probiotics.
It’s best to use Doctor Eromon on RUclips remedies for recurrent candida infection and other UTIs Speaking from personal experience he cured me completely with his products 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Eliminate sugar, grain, drink barley tea, drink less booze, eat sour stuff, eat bitter food like kale/cinnamon/ginger/tumeric. THANK YOU DR. JOSH AXE, you rule dude.
Thank you. I’m literally crying as I’m taking all your suggestions down. Thank youuu I will keep you posted. I’ve been dealing with this for 12 years with breaks here and there when I’m able to luckily balance my meals, stress and sleep. I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems people like me with childhood trauma tend to get these symptoms the worst or most. I’ve been working on myself so much to finally realize successful people don’t find themselves, they choose to be successful. I don’t know how to choose to get rid of these symptoms, but I choose to do as much research as I can until I can connect with someone who knows what I need. We’re all different and I pray you all find what you need too!
It always makes me so sad as well, how people with so much pain end up so sick. So much pain led me here. It's so much work to reverse sickness. I wish you the best, I hope it's going well 😊
@@hcure4003 wish you the best too! When I go through extreme stress, for some reason, I get really sick and lose appetite for like a week. Broths and the BRAT diet help me regain my strength. Liquid IV packs in lemon flavor help, room temp water only, no cold drinks, no caffeiene, no acidic foods, avocados and steamed veggies helped too… 🩷🩷🩷 hope you all are doing well!
@@MonicaElena310 it's crazy how much stress alone can do. Deep breathing exercises seem to help me a lot. My body loves steamed veggies too! And also room temp drinks only (or warm). Strangely I get more hungry when I'm stressed, like I'm tempted to stress eat 😣 Thank you! hopefully I'll get there sooner than later :)
it's been 3 month have you been cured from Candida yet? For me I had it for 3 and been using anti fungal cream doctor prescribed to me for 2 months. I was wondering how long it took for some people. Mine seems like it won't heal anytime soon. And I am sick of having to put the cream on 2x a day every day this long.
@@JonBandMiley I have a 1” in diameter spot on my hand. I’ve been applying clotrimazol and been on the candida diet for a week now. It’s still spreading but it’s much less flakey and I’m surprised and the results this fast
@@imthirstyh2o330 Turns out it wasn't only antifungal cream I was given like I thought. The doc was giving me steroid creams.... stronger and stronger each time they wouldn't work. After 2 months of that I stopped on my own as I was getting rashes on my hands and feet. Then sadly, skin on my penis thinned out. Now I can't have sex or jack off again. So now I just want to get shot in the head or have a huge heart attack. They say a few people heal, but even then it takes at least 3 MONTHS to regain thickness and firmness of the penis again. I can't believe a licensed doctor didn't take me off STRONG STEROID CREAMS after 14 days like they are legally supposed to. I had no idea I was taking drugs and no idea I was supposed to be off them after 14 days. I just want to have a heart attack and die, this is definitely not the life someone should live, especially when they got over 60 years left to live!
Thank you for posting this. I am trying to be a positive force for change. I have been battling epilepsy since a car accident about 10 years ago. I am eating ketogenically as and adjunct to seizure medication and feel much better! It is a challenge, because I am also trying to eat vegan for spiritual and personal reasons... I am sure I had an ongoing systemic candida infection! I am just now being treated for partial complex seizure disorder and and seeing positive differences in my life. I am actually making RUclips videos on the subject of my battles with TBI, epilepsy and myeloma. I am on a constant search for how to inspire others to change their thinking. This is well needed! Thanks!!!
I always thought I had serious medical problems because I always feel unwell. Thank you for addressing this, I'm convinced that it's this culprit that is causing all the havoc in my body. I really appreciate this video. Thank you 🙏
Ok. This is overwhelming. I’ve read so many articles, I watched so many videos by different doctors… and they all contradict each other. Yes to Starchy food, No to grains! Yes to grains (buckwheat and millet), no to starchy food! Yes to sauerkraut! No to Sauerkraut! The only thing they all agree on is No to Sugar.
The constants are cut out sugar, eat high protein/low carb diet and increase bitter foods including garlic, ginger, kale. Increase probiotics and and fermented foods.
@@mlklotusmann6749 The main problem I see with this set of steps & items is that some of them are high in histamine & I need to stay away from them or I get other flareups :/
Barbara Onei’ll is her namne. And you wanna be aware of the die off effect, that actually make symptoms worse when you are killing what you don’t want in there.
@@mlklotusmann6749 Actually if you have leaky gut or histamine issues, fermented is very bad. High protein is also very bad unless you're eating high animalfat with it. There's contradicting info on things depending on possible health issues
I was able to do it for two weeks and it definitely made a difference in my skin- I get cystic acne. I do not take as much time to cook healthier meals every single day and do eat a fair amount of wheat. I definitely need to do this diet again and commit to ditching dairy/wheat
@@Haruzumakii After getting leaky gut & then autoimmune intoI to gluten & grains I had no choice but to stop all grain carbs & even sugar. When you HAVE to, it's easier to quit. I couldn't do it before this happened so it was easier.
I did it for a month last year and felt great afterwards. Now I have to do it again 😢. Hoping this time I figure out what I don't need to pick back up eating again.
Great video Josh. You mentioned the 'best kept secret' is to treat the spleen, in my clinical experience I'd say it's "identifying and treating the stressors" in your life. Stress undermines adrenal and thyroid function, and once cortisol and TSH become compromised your immune system goes south - increasing the likelihood of immune acute responses, allergies, auto-immune issues and eventually cancer. Most chronic candida cases that are unresponsive will have adrenal fatigue underpinning them, I've found this after treating Candida in the clinic for nearly three decades. I think you docs that focus on TCM tend to call it "kidney weakness". Second point is you may like to mention- if the candida patient can't stop alcohol (the WORST carb with Candida) until they recover (not even one drink a week) they may as well stay with their medical doctor and remain on drugs for symptomatic relief.
Exceptional comment - I'm post RAI Graves pt. You might imagine my chronic issue w this - (that tx really --- sad now,not right on any level to do this to pts) Great points - value the additional info, thank you for sharing.
This is very informative especially when all simptoms are not considered individual issues. Now I know to implament a total body cleanse. yeastinfectiontreatmentnatural.blogspot.com
+Candida Crusher I found the best treatment for my yeast infection at *CureYeast.info* I get results in very short frame of time Recommended…............./////
just found this while watching other videos on your channel. I am already making these changes, but I thought it might be a good watch. I'm amazed right now! A couple years ago, my spleen was enlarged, and every so often it happens again, and is very painful. I was also told that I had a mild yeast infection at the time. Seemingly unrelated, but today it suddenly all made sense! Thank you!
Guess what, your fears are well founded, there is a new medicine resistant strain of fungis called candida aurous its deadly and found in hospitals and areas where people live and are in large amounts one out of 3 people will die from this.
Dr. Axe can you please create a video that helps with the horrible side effects of coming off sugar/grains? I do have systemic candida issues. All your steps make sense (although i add Goldthread (berberine substance)); however, sticking to it, through a detox, is crazy difficult and any ideas to help the discomfort through the first 5 days would be awesome.
I was diagnosed with esphogeal candidiasis. I have all these symptoms except instead of gaining weight, I’ve lost quite a bit. The fatigue has been miserable and stiff neck. Great video, lots of helpful info!
How does the doctor take the tests in us to knoe what spieces u have in the body so I can.tell.them cause they dont know anything about candida in sweden
@@brianmacleod4649 okey thanks for answer.🙏 I have to fix this myself I will start buy thorne sf22 people claim it healed them , same effect as fluconazole... 🙏 have tried Everything nothing works .. have had candida over 2 years .. and lost weight as you wrote. Doctors dont do anything here u have to heal yourself :/
@@YeshuaIloveuuu I’m sorry your going through such a rough time. One thing I found that fixed my problem is to consider Iron supplement. I was anemic and my low blood cell production coincided with the fungal growth. Flucanozole will only make it go away temporarily. To fix the underlying problem maybe consider all the diet and nutrition options that you can. Best of luck!
I just read on another site that had knowledge of Chinese medicine and it said that the spleen requires warm foods. So I'm glad that he said consume warm foods as a confirmation.
I once had what the doc said was Bell’s Palsy and told me my face would remain like that forever. I had seen an ENT years before for a very bad ear infection and remembered him mentioning yeast so I started researching. As a result, I only ate lean meat and vegetables, and I cut everything else out. One week later I started getting my sensation back where it had been numb. Three weeks later, my face was all better. I couldn’t believe how well I felt, even my adhd symptoms drastically improved.
Ive been wondering why im supporting my liver but my spleen keeps paining and the spleen reflex on my foot keeps hurting. Thanks for explaining why Dr Axe. You're awesome!
I‘d like to suggest Lapacho tee also known as Pau‘d arco which is doing an excellent job: take 1 Liter per day for 6 weeks, then pause for 4 weeks. Coconut oil, garlic and oregano are also powerful plus grapefruit seed extract!
Hi, I have been suffering with Candida in my mouth and got it in my toe nail- I thinks it’s in my gut too as I get acid reflux and can’t digest my food, feel achy and heaviness in body and bloated stomach and back pain - I also have IBS alternating constipation and Diarrhoea - I really need help as I have been feeling fatigued - there is no real treatment out there - now I have started taking probiotics and have ordered capsules of oil of oregano- dr axe I have the exact symtoms you have described in your video on Candida - I will try all diet you have suggested - thank you so much for that video

Thank you, all your information has helped me in so many ways, beyond repairing my system. my mood is totally different and my outlook on life feels much more positive. Thanks again.
Thank you Dr Axe, for the info. I felt like you respected my time by getting right to the point, sharing exactly what was on your mind, not waiting to the end and telling me i had to buy your 15 dollar book to learn what you meant by your title. you subtly referred to your website and only on a popup wanted to sell something but I didn't feel guilted or scared into having to click on it if I wanted to live another day. I like your style, easy to listen to and no pressure information. because you didn't pressure me to go look at your site, I just might go there simply because I don't feel like it will be a trap.
If you have Candida, Mercury anagrams fillings in your teeth can cause it. They are highly toxic and I cannot stress enough how sick they can make you feel. I've been suffering from it lately and I’ve never felt so sick in my life!! If you have the mercury fillings, Please get them removed! Wishing you the best during your detox. XOXO.
@@jodyhakala-ristow7014 put 1/2 a teaspoon of it in a glass of water, dissolve as best you can, swirl, and throw it down. Build up to double (in 2 glasses of water). Note that as it starts working you can feel yukky for a few days.
Thanks for this information on Candida Dr. Axe. I've suffered with this for over 35 years. It's not completely gone and I think that how I contracted leaky gut but thanks to you and your products, I am getting better. I have been gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy-free for over 30 years. for the last year I have been grain-free. I have been eating clean for over 4 years so I am eating the food you mentioned in the video. I will increase the foods for the spleen, liver and intestines and switch to your brand of probiotics. Thanks and blessings to you.
Really surprised you recommend Manuka honey. Being a kiwi we already use it topically on wounds etc but friends who are beekeepers feel it does little for internal health. However another wee gem on the honey world here is honey dew honey which I use daily. It’s had two insects processing it so it’s full of polysaccharides and does wonders for my hay fever. Also I personally couldn’t have barley tea thanks to it not being a gluten free grain.
FYI if you're allergic to bees be careful with manuka honey or any raw unprocessed honey. I didnt know before I tried manuka and had a reaction that sometimes it can happen. I've had other unprocessed honeys but the manuka I got made my throat a little tight & mouth itchy! So use caution if you have a bee allergy.
1: no processed sugar, fruit juices 2: no grains 3: support spleen with squash 4: support liver: soure foods 5: support intestines: bitter foods 6: probiotic supplements
um. ur still fn contagious with invasive candida for the rest of ur life. why are u all acting like it makes a difference if ur symptoms are reduced????! LOL this is unbelievable and the fact u ppl think u can cure this, makes me wanna laugh in your faces. you have this for life people. WAKE UP
To those people, I do the tough love response, "then stay sick" simple as that. I spent the last 3-1/2 yrs bedridden 24/7 with caregivers as well, after getting bit by a tick and getting Lyme disease. My whole world went upside overnight. I was very healthy and super active and then it was gone in an instant, so please don't tell us how you can't stop your sugar. boo hoo! Try being bedridden for a lengthy amount of time and then see what you will do. "ANYTHING"!!! should be the answer!!! I have healed the Lyme (with Colloidal Gold, not silver) and a few other things, now working on the fungal aspect, I was 59 when I got bitten and now 64, I am walking 4 mikes a day and starting to lift weights as I lost ALL of my muscle mass as well as 30 lbs I didn't need to lose..If I can do it ANYONE can! Good luck hope I wasn't too harsh its really more about my passion for health. Blessings!
@@colink1113 It would appear by your comment that you don’t really understand how our bodies work, let alone what Candida is and how it works.. I mean.. contagious? Really? SMH..
I would keep the most strict diet, but Im so heavily underweighted, I m almost in panic if it think I could lose more weight and I would If I stop eating grains. Do you think millet, quiona, brown rice is allowed ?
Hey Dr.Axe! First I want to say, YOU ARE AWESOME! My question is, what do you think about using Monkfruit Sweetener, I was a big user of brown sugar, now I switched to Monkfruit Sweetener.

Thanks for these great informational vidoes. You mention Pasta a lot in processed sugar and bad starchy food, I wanted to ask whether you would include rice (white or brown) in the same category and give insight on consuming rice for people with candida or people trying to reduce sugar cravings?
About bitter foods; Would Dandelion qualify? I have a lot of those in my yard and every spring I harvest the fresh young plants and eat them in salads, The older plants get tough and VERY bitter. I also wonder whether dandelion root tea might be helpful. PS I never use pesticides on my grass.
I am a fifteen year old living in the UK who has self diagnosed herself with a candida overgrowth, IBS and PCOS who has frequently been to the doctors asking for a diagnosis which has always ended in a "youre fine. just take some anti-biotics" and "youre too young to make a diagnosis on, youre a teenager and many things happen to your body at that time" like wtf? you want to diagnose me when im 18 where it would most definitely become worse, to the point where i could be on the verge of catching diseases from this fungus? AND GUESS WHAT. after months of visiting and having myself to explain my self diagnosis, they actually came to a fucking realisation that what i had been saying all this time is not bullshit. This is why i dont trust my doctors and tend to research more upon my problems. But then again, whats the point? whats the point in going to a doctor when you know that there is actually no specific cure but just remedies upon remedies that are in store for you that you will have to eventually adapt into a daily routine. I mean i suffer from stress eating due to extreme depression, mostly from foods that candida loves and you expect me to stay like this forever? I doubt I will ever truly overcome this candida problem but this video was a great help anyway. Damn why cant there be more doctors like you lol (btw in no way did i intend to offend Dr.Josh Axe, just expressing my thoughts that have been long kept inside)
I CURED MY CANDIDA OVERGROWTH. I HAD VERY BAD CANDIDA OVERGROWTH. EVERYTIME I WOULD EAT SOMETHING THAT CONTAINED SUGAR I WOULD BREAK OUT VERY BADLY ALL OVER MY BODY. I TRIED EVERYTHING INCLUDING GOING VEGAN. AND THE VEGAN DIET DID HELP REALLY WELL BUT AS SOON AS I ATE SOMETHING AND ANYTHING WITH SUGAR IN IT THE NEXT MORNING I WOULD BREAK OUT BADLY. HOW I CURED MY CANDIDA: CANDIDA OVERGROWTH IS A RESULT OF HEAVY METAL TOXICITY AND I WENT TO MY DOCTOR TO CONFIRM THIS THEORY. IT SHOWED THAT MY MERCURY LEVELS WERE 9.9 WHEN THE SAFE LEVELS ARE 2. I WENT ONLINE AND ORDERED ZEOLITE TO CHELATE THE HEAVY METALS IN MY BODY. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH ON ZEOLITE I WAS WAY DOWN IN MY HEAVY METAL LOAD. AND AT THAT POINT AND NOW FOR MORE THAN A YEAR I CAN EAT WHATEVER I LIKE TO EAT INCLUDING CHOCLATES AND CAKES AND DRINK SODAS AND HAVE NO BREAKOUT WHATSOEVER. CANDIDA OVERGROWTH IS A RESULT OF A HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD. I ALSO RECOMMEND BUYING GROUNDED CORIANDER AND CHILANTRO POWDER AND DRINKING THAT BEFORE BED TO SPEED UP THE CHELATION PROCESS. PERSONALLY I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE MEDICAL CHELATION PROCESS BECAUSE IT HAS SOME POTENTIAL NASTY SIDE EFFECTS. HOW: I DID ONE SCOOP OF ZEOLITE 2-3 TIMES A DAY FOR A TWO MONTH PERIOD. I ALSO HAD ABOUT 500ML OF WATER MIXED WITH GROUNDED CORIANDER AND CHLORELLA POWDER IN THE EVENING TO SPEED UP THE REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS. MY BRAIN FOG CLEARED UP, MY SWEATING WENT AWAY ( BUT IT DOES COME BACK SOMETIMES IF I HAVE EATEN LARGE FISH SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY METALS THEY CONTAIN ESPECIALLY FARMED FISH), BREAKOUTS GONE ETC GOOD LUCK GUYS!
It was not only sugar. It was also fish, meat including chicken, potato and other starchy foods and any foods that contained sugar also in the form of fructose. To my knowledge there are three ways of chelating heavy metals 1. The natural way by using for example cilantro and chlorella in conjunction 2. Going to the doctor and using chemical based chelation 3. Zeolite Zeolite attaches itself to heavy metals including mercury which we are being poisoned with through the foods we consume and fish is especially high on the culprit list. I say choose which ever way fits your preferences but do your own research. There is little doubt at least my mind based on my experience and the experience of many that Candida overgrowth is based on heavy metal toxicity. And you get can heavy metal toxicity by having amalgam fillings like I had when I was in my teens, you can get it through consuming fish (the fda now recommends eating fish a maximum of 2 times per week). If you absolutely love fish and cannot live without it try to stick to the smaller kinds and supplement with selenium as selenium aids in the non absorption of heavy metals.
@@Hveragerthi You have done good research. That is for sure! Did you have candida overgrowth and if so how did you neutralise it? I'm speaking from personal experience and from a perspective of someone who finally managed to beat what was a very bad case of candida overgrowth. For a second I thought you were here to misinform. I can tell you from first hand personal experience that zeolite does chelate heavy metals. You are right about the fact that the bigger fish contain more mercury, but the issue is also that 75% of all fish is farmed and the absolute worst is Norwegian salmon. If you must eat farmed salmon then I recommend the Irish salmon. They write that it is organic but I please remember that organic is not the same as wild. It just means that they take greater care in how many fish are kept per square foot, what kind of feed the fish get etc. If you want to watch a good documentary on the fishing industry here is a good one: ruclips.net/video/RYYf8cLUV5E/видео.html Not only are they propping the fish with mercury and hormones in most cases but also with something called ethoxyquin which is a known carcinogen in many cases. You can keep the fish in as clean water as you want but if you feed them with known carcinogens and mercury ladden fish feed the result will be the same. It turns out the company that is producing and putting this carcinogen into the fish feed is you guessed it our old friend MONSANTO. The same company that is putting other carcinogens into our foods via their pesticides, They were just ordered to pay 289 million dollars to a customer who got cancer from one of their pesticides. Again if there are other methods that are natural and proven I think that is wonderful. I must emphasize proven as I spent hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars trying out many different diets and methods until I did a mercury test. Once my mercury levels were reduced the candida overgrowth issue went away. So my first advice to anyone trying to find a solution to an issue is see if you can find someone who has had success before you. If they have and if it is SAFE then you should consider giving it a go. I"m not a medical doctor so you must take this as a friendly use of the freedom of speech and as coming from someone who wants to help others along the way with Love. I have used zeolite and when combined with Cilantro, Chlorella and lots of water it did wonders for me. Peace and Love
Omg... you speaking facts!! What about small fish like sardines or shrimp? Do you think those add to heavy mental aswel? And also what about the grains/beans and fruits? Thanks
I have candida ..white tongue/ big belly Her is how I cure it Just eat first thing in the morning ( yogurt + garlic +latency or mint) for about month The garlic kills the harmful fungi The yogurt billed useful fungi.. Latency and mint... Make stomach relax and help with Gases... If this help you please pray for me
Garlic doesn't cure candida, it just goes into the blood and creates a pseudo-metabolism. People are slaves to garlic/onions and when they eat it they become like mindless robots, going to work and back without feeling any emotions, and working long hours without feeling anything in their bodies. Garlic eater = docile human that is easy to control.
Hello Dr. Axe! Is it OK to eat buckweet, millet and qinoa during candida diet? And on what stage of diet should I add antifungal supplements? Thank you very much!!!
Dr. Axe thanks for this video. However, my Candida overgrowth is so bad that it’s caused a leaky gut, therefore I have food sensitivities/ histamine intolerance! Is there anything else I can do for the liver besides fermented or cultured foods? Ugh I feel so stuck because of all the foods I CANNOT EAT!
I'm with you about all the foods I can't eat. I'm GF, DF and have to avoid sugars. It sucks, I'm on round 2 of fluconazole. I believe I already support my other organs with how I eat already. Have you made any progress?
@@SophiaVonHelgastein Well, it would be great if my comment to you had stayed! They delete my comments all the time now! 🤬🤬 I’m improving, thanks to seeing a Biological Dentist! Still need help after surgery to detoxify what I STILL believe to be Candida causing a residual infection!
@@mariasaucedo5378 I too am curious if this works. I have suspected that I may have candida or some kind of fungal overgrowth for a while now. I have been dealing with digestive issues for years, I have a white coating on my tongue, small little bumps on my skin in some places, and a rosacea looking rash on my cheeks. I just don’t know what to eat if I cut out more foods than I already have like gluten, dairy, onion, garlic. I have only drank water with the exception of some protein shakes for years now. I am a pickier eater by nature and would not choose those sour and bitter foods, like sauerkraut. I do eat cinnamon though. But I worry about the advice to cut out all grains, does that include oatmeal, brown rice? How and where will I get enough fiber?
The diet is hard to do when your used to eating whatever you want. Especially if you have to feed / cook for your family. What is the most important things to do to start with?
Thank you so much. I get so exhausted all the time, sometimes are worse than others. I can go out one day feeling bad, the next I'm bed rideen. this makes so much sense. I know I have Candida, I have the signs. If i eat choclate, I feel terrible the next day. my tongue tases terrible, and my breat smells.
Oregano oil for 2 weeks and then you give yourself a break and olive leaf tree extract antifungal and great at killing off candida as well. The olive leaf is more of a supplement so you can take that for a while just make sure you're taking healthy probiotics. And definitely follow his advice avoid anything processed that includes sugar it's going to probably give you a detox side effects but man is it worth it at the end to feel better
I listened to Fit Life TV podcast called "DIY 48 Second Test for Candida." The gut expert is Christa Arrechio who states fermented foods FEEDS Candida. So who is right and who is wrong?
Doctor, I'm confused. I've read that although kefir and kombucha are great for natural probiotics in our system, candida feeds from fermented foods, such as kefir, kombucha, beer, etc. Is that true?
Our son is always getting what seems like strep but it doesn't test out as strep. I'm thinking it must be candida overgrowth. White coated tongue and throat, always tired, sore throat too. He does consume a lot of processed foods and sugar. Also he recently started working the night shift and his circadian rhythms are all out of whack. He'll sleep for like 16 hours.
Some very nice tips, especially the lesser known ones like supporting the spleen with barely tea. But a very important step was missed even though it's not food related. Aerobic exercise is very helpful to reducing candida since candida love anaerobic environments.
@@gargiganguly5076 I would assume so if your HIT gets your heart rate and oxygen levels up. It's not something I've read specifically, but I would think that the principals are the same.
If you know you have a candida overgrowth, You need to avoid anything made with yeast. That would definitely include apple cider vinegar, vinegar, beer, wine, alcoholic beverages of all varieties and sugar. Even most baked goods have a yeast to make the bread or cake rise. And once you make some progress, you have to fortify the gut flora with probiotics to keep the territory that you liberated from being re-infected by the opportunistic Candida Albicans.
How about coffee? I have been dealing with Candida for many years. I have cut out sugar and grains. I do love my 1/4 cup of coffee in 3/4 cup fresh made coconut milk every morning. I don’t add sugar. Is this ok?
I’m working with a Biological Dentist and when I told her I know I’ve been struggling with Candida for probably close to two decades, she said that I really need to cut out all sugar. I don’t eat processed sugar. I eat raw, local honey. I eat less than a tablespoon, and not even every day. Another thing is I was told to stay away from starchy foods with Candida. I’m so confused. I also eat raw milk yogurt and drink raw milk. Is this something I should stay away from too, dairy? Even tho it’s not crappy store bought milk?? I really need this to be gone once and for all. Not sure I’m clear on when to start introducing different foods back in tho. I don’t want to be afraid of eating for the rest of my life either…. 😒😣☹️
I just found out about Candida! I have had diarrhea for over 10 years. I have gas all the time, bloating, fatigue, and rash on my forehead. I gotta try this because the doctors have no idea whats wrong with me.
Hello Dr Axe, one symptom you forgot to mention is the INCREDIBLE wish for, craving for sugar!! Especially the amount of sugar one consumes in the form of chocolates, sweets, cakes etc. One would think one has DEVELOPED a "Sweet Tooth ". Also the necessity of wanting "something sweet" after heavily spiced, or rich, heavy meals. In fact any salty dishes ! Also just craving for sugar in any form of e.g ice cream, biscuits, sweet (fizzy) drinks, very, very sweet ripe fruits... the list is endless! This wish for sweetness is satisfied, but sometimes the consumption of a vast portion makes one feel sick. But one does not vomit. Instead one drinks plain water, tea without sugar...etc. to stop the nausea, even repulsion against the amount of sweetness (including honey, syrup etc) consumed in all its types and forms.! I am you will read my message. And give me an answer! Regards m PS. You have mentioned one should drink barley tea. I thought barley is a grain? You have suggested NOT to eat grains. How is gluten extracted from barley, to make it drinkable. Can one eat barley while one has Candida? And how can it be introduced in one's diat? m
Dr Josh - I know this is a old video but maybe you’ll see this question- maybe 22yr old daughter lost her Spleen in a car accident where many of her organs were punctured. What should she do more of or what can she take to prevent problems in the future? Thank you!!
I'm a little confused, we should support the spleen by drinking barley tea, which contains gluten, but eliminate grains from diet. Wouldn't the tea possibly trigger gut issues??
After taking multiple courses of antibiotics and I developed a craving for sugar which I began to satisfy and suddenly I gained 300 pounds in two years I lost all my energy all my bones started to ache I began to experience what I believe to be adrenal fatigue I am tired all the time my tongue is white my feet have severe athletes foot and I itch a lot in my intimate areas I have gotten UTI and it smell like ammonia. I never thought it could all be caused by fungal overgrowth but after watching a couple of these videos it all makes sense. I am sick of it and I want to rid myself of this condition
In 2010 I did a 21 day green juice fast and all of my tinea versacolor improved but not completely gone. Also all the joint pain left. I had so much energy. I believe I had candida and it was causing those symptoms. If you think you have candida try a green juice fast then work on eating a plant based diet.
How long should one stay on this diet?! I am very into fitness and I am also a college student eating in a cafeteria so without grains I feel like I won't have enough energy to walk around campus or get through my workouts. After seeing a chiropractor, she muscle tested me and said I could eat quinoa, brown rice, and ezekiel bread so I was just wondering what you thought about that?
Kefir is great for your digestion. Probiotica fight to candida bi eating ol the shugger. I repair mij digestion bi drinking the Kefir water every day vor a have jear
I haven't eaten sugar, and other sweeteners, dairy or gluten in over 2 years. I went grain free for a couple months. I eliminated most fruits until recently - those high in sugar, and starchy vegetables. Still have candida, though not as much.
I got candida from taking some anti inflammatory pills with a lot of steroid. My doctor prescribed me a medicine for candida and I decided to take something natural but I was doing my self. I was so sick and then I decided to visit a naturopath doctor. I am on 9 weeks of treatment and lost 18 pounds because of the diet. I went to visit him last week and the candida was negative but I still have to treat my leaky gut because my stomach can’t handle protein and other foods. I eat very healthy since 2006 but eating just greens and 20% of 3 grains and no fruits is very difficult for me. I am clean of candida but I still have to wait a least 3-4 months to eat fruits. NOT AN EASY DIET.
I had candida albican for a lots of years. Had symptoms like... Mood swings Peristant bad breath Vomiting yellow and green color. Anxiety,.... The list goes on and on.
The list of things to do to cure candida according to Dr. Axe:
1. Stop consuming sugar
2. Eliminate grains from diet
3. Consume foods that support the spline
4. Consume foods that support the liver (e.g. sour foods)
5. Consume foods that support the intestine (e.g. turmeric)
6. Take a probiotic
7. Consume warm foods (e.g. bone broth soup)
can you be specific about which type of grains we need to avoid? just to be sure, thanks a lot for your videos and information ;-)
Yes spisific grain and what about butter nuts aren't sweet that feed candida and what about gluten thanks for answering
Spleen
I’ve had no sugar since January of 2023. I don’t eat any breads or grains. I eat very Little fruit. I eat a lot of yogurt and kombucha. I eat tons of arugula and lettuce with apple cider vinegar. And I take a lot of probiotics! I have the worst yeast infection right now that I’ve ever had! I cannot seem to get ANY help!!!
@@saramcdowell4735at the beginning you have to not use probiotics because that will just keep it alive and exacerbate the problem. After a hardcore cleanse you can slowly add tiny ammounts and build up probiotics.
Candida is a serious issue which most people NEED to understand to correct a long list of illnesses which can be cured naturally. Love this video!
is what is said in this video accurate?
if she loves this video then what do you think.
HOw long should i do this for?
@@dunnofam4167 people love heroin... So I guess your point stands.
It’s best to use Doctor Eromon on RUclips remedies for recurrent candida infection and other UTIs Speaking from personal experience he cured me completely with his products 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Eliminate sugar, grain, drink barley tea, drink less booze, eat sour stuff, eat bitter food like kale/cinnamon/ginger/tumeric.
THANK YOU DR. JOSH AXE, you rule dude.
Barley is a grain...
too much cinnamon (not Ceylon type) would be hard on liver
No Alcohol not even a drop.
I love Collard greens, beets and carrots...Delicious!
@@crisnyrio how do you cook them? I have no cooking ideas for those veggies 🤔
Thank you. I’m literally crying as I’m taking all your suggestions down. Thank youuu I will keep you posted. I’ve been dealing with this for 12 years with breaks here and there when I’m able to luckily balance my meals, stress and sleep. I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems people like me with childhood trauma tend to get these symptoms the worst or most. I’ve been working on myself so much to finally realize successful people don’t find themselves, they choose to be successful. I don’t know how to choose to get rid of these symptoms, but I choose to do as much research as I can until I can connect with someone who knows what I need. We’re all different and I pray you all find what you need too!
me too suffering from same condition as u are..
And did it help???
It always makes me so sad as well, how people with so much pain end up so sick. So much pain led me here. It's so much work to reverse sickness. I wish you the best, I hope it's going well 😊
@@hcure4003 wish you the best too! When I go through extreme stress, for some reason, I get really sick and lose appetite for like a week. Broths and the BRAT diet help me regain my strength.
Liquid IV packs in lemon flavor help, room temp water only, no cold drinks, no caffeiene, no acidic foods, avocados and steamed veggies helped too… 🩷🩷🩷 hope you all are doing well!
@@MonicaElena310 it's crazy how much stress alone can do. Deep breathing exercises seem to help me a lot. My body loves steamed veggies too! And also room temp drinks only (or warm). Strangely I get more hungry when I'm stressed, like I'm tempted to stress eat 😣 Thank you! hopefully I'll get there sooner than later :)
Who else is on a candida diet at the moment?
I hope to get on the road of recovery i have been sick for a while.
Me. Well wishes, you got this.
it's been 3 month have you been cured from Candida yet? For me I had it for 3 and been using anti fungal cream doctor prescribed to me for 2 months. I was wondering how long it took for some people. Mine seems like it won't heal anytime soon. And I am sick of having to put the cream on 2x a day every day this long.
@@JonBandMiley I have a 1” in diameter spot on my hand. I’ve been applying clotrimazol and been on the candida diet for a week now. It’s still spreading but it’s much less flakey and I’m surprised and the results this fast
Started AGAIN yesterday. I feel WAY better already!
@@imthirstyh2o330 Turns out it wasn't only antifungal cream I was given like I thought. The doc was giving me steroid creams.... stronger and stronger each time they wouldn't work. After 2 months of that I stopped on my own as I was getting rashes on my hands and feet. Then sadly, skin on my penis thinned out. Now I can't have sex or jack off again. So now I just want to get shot in the head or have a huge heart attack. They say a few people heal, but even then it takes at least 3 MONTHS to regain thickness and firmness of the penis again. I can't believe a licensed doctor didn't take me off STRONG STEROID CREAMS after 14 days like they are legally supposed to. I had no idea I was taking drugs and no idea I was supposed to be off them after 14 days. I just want to have a heart attack and die, this is definitely not the life someone should live, especially when they got over 60 years left to live!
Thank you for posting this. I am trying to be a positive force for change. I have been battling epilepsy since a car accident about 10 years ago. I am eating ketogenically as and adjunct to seizure medication and feel much better! It is a challenge, because I am also trying to eat vegan for spiritual and personal reasons... I am sure I had an ongoing systemic candida infection! I am just now being treated for partial complex seizure disorder and and seeing positive differences in my life. I am actually making RUclips videos on the subject of my battles with TBI, epilepsy and myeloma. I am on a constant search for how to inspire others to change their thinking. This is well needed! Thanks!!!
Wish you best of luck
This is the best and most informative video I have watched on Candida-- all in just 7:28 minutes!!
I always thought I had serious medical problems because I always feel unwell. Thank you for addressing this, I'm convinced that it's this culprit that is causing all the havoc in my body. I really appreciate this video. Thank you 🙏
Ok. This is overwhelming. I’ve read so many articles, I watched so many videos by different doctors… and they all contradict each other.
Yes to Starchy food, No to grains! Yes to grains (buckwheat and millet), no to starchy food!
Yes to sauerkraut! No to Sauerkraut!
The only thing they all agree on is No to Sugar.
yup, its a huge headache
The constants are cut out sugar, eat high protein/low carb diet and increase bitter foods including garlic, ginger, kale. Increase probiotics and and fermented foods.
@@mlklotusmann6749 The main problem I see with this set of steps & items is that some of them are high in histamine & I need to stay away from them or I get other flareups :/
Barbara Onei’ll is her namne. And you wanna be aware of the die off effect, that actually make symptoms worse when you are killing what you don’t want in there.
@@mlklotusmann6749 Actually if you have leaky gut or histamine issues, fermented is very bad. High protein is also very bad unless you're eating high animalfat with it.
There's contradicting info on things depending on possible health issues
day 4 on the candida diet. Not eating sugar by day 3 gave me a massive headache, but I'm pushing through!
One year later, how did you do on the candidas diet avoiding sugar?
I was able to do it for two weeks and it definitely made a difference in my skin- I get cystic acne.
I do not take as much time to cook healthier meals every single day and do eat a fair amount of wheat. I definitely need to do this diet again and commit to ditching dairy/wheat
@@Haruzumakii do you have candida now
@@Haruzumakii After getting leaky gut & then autoimmune intoI to gluten & grains I had no choice but to stop all grain carbs & even sugar. When you HAVE to, it's easier to quit. I couldn't do it before this happened so it was easier.
I did it for a month last year and felt great afterwards. Now I have to do it again 😢. Hoping this time I figure out what I don't need to pick back up eating again.
I legitimately have every single one of these symptoms. Thank you!!
Did you try these things and gotten better? I hope so. I have everything he mentioned too.
@@Mina-ok5qm how are you feeling now?
I too have every symptom.
Great video Josh. You mentioned the 'best kept secret' is to treat the spleen, in my clinical experience I'd say it's "identifying and treating the stressors" in your life. Stress undermines adrenal and thyroid function, and once cortisol and TSH become compromised your immune system goes south - increasing the likelihood of immune acute responses, allergies, auto-immune issues and eventually cancer. Most chronic candida cases that are unresponsive will have adrenal fatigue underpinning them, I've found this after treating Candida in the clinic for nearly three decades. I think you docs that focus on TCM tend to call it "kidney weakness". Second point is you may like to mention- if the candida patient can't stop alcohol (the WORST carb with Candida) until they recover (not even one drink a week) they may as well stay with their medical doctor and remain on drugs for symptomatic relief.

just found this while watching other videos on your channel. I am already making these changes, but I thought it might be a good watch. I'm amazed right now!

@Julia did you heal your gut?
Dr. Axe can you please create a video that helps with the horrible side effects of coming off sugar/grains? I do have systemic candida issues. All your steps make sense (although i add Goldthread (berberine substance)); however, sticking to it, through a detox, is crazy difficult and any ideas to help the discomfort through the first 5 days would be awesome.
I was diagnosed with esphogeal candidiasis. I have all these symptoms except instead of gaining weight, I’ve lost quite a bit. The fatigue has been miserable and stiff neck. Great video, lots of helpful info!

@@YeshuaIloveuuu I’m sorry your going through such a rough time. One thing I found that fixed my problem is to consider Iron supplement. I was anemic and my low blood cell production coincided with the fungal growth. Flucanozole will only make it go away temporarily. To fix the underlying problem maybe consider all the diet and nutrition options that you can. Best of luck!
I hate to say but you’re going to die if you get Dysphagia... you’ve been warned
I just read on another site that had knowledge of Chinese medicine and it said that the spleen requires warm foods. So I'm glad that he said consume warm foods as a confirmation.
I once had what the doc said was Bell’s Palsy and told me my face would remain like that forever. I had seen an ENT years before for a very bad ear infection and remembered him mentioning yeast so I started researching. As a result, I only ate lean meat and vegetables, and I cut everything else out. One week later I started getting my sensation back where it had been numb. Three weeks later, my face was all better. I couldn’t believe how well I felt, even my adhd symptoms drastically improved.
Thank you ♥️

Thank you Dr Axe, for the info. I felt like you respected my time by getting right to the point, sharing exactly what was on your mind, not waiting to the end and telling me i had to buy your 15 dollar book to learn what you meant by your title. you subtly referred to your website and only on a popup wanted to sell something but I didn't feel guilted or scared into having to click on it if I wanted to live another day. I like your style, easy to listen to and no pressure information. because you didn't pressure me to go look at your site, I just might go there simply because I don't feel like it will be a trap.
Everything you mentioned at the beginning are things i deal with. Going to put these 6 tips into practice in my life right away. Thank you!!!
I have also been taking activated charcoal and diatomaceous earth. Helps me clear out the parasites, as well. Also, helps me with the detox process.
If you have Candida, Mercury anagrams fillings in your teeth can cause it. They are highly toxic and I cannot stress enough how sick they can make you feel. I've been suffering from it lately and I’ve never felt so sick in my life!! If you have the mercury fillings, Please get them removed! Wishing you the best during your detox. XOXO.
How do you take diatomaceous earth do you put it in a capsule itself the powder?

Really surprised you recommend Manuka honey. Being a kiwi we already use it topically on wounds etc but friends who are beekeepers feel it does little for internal health. However another wee gem on the honey world here is honey dew honey which I use daily. It’s had two insects processing it so it’s full of polysaccharides and does wonders for my hay fever. Also I personally couldn’t have barley tea thanks to it not being a gluten free grain.
FYI if you're allergic to bees be careful with manuka honey or any raw unprocessed honey. I didnt know before I tried manuka and had a reaction that sometimes it can happen. I've had other unprocessed honeys but the manuka I got made my throat a little tight & mouth itchy! So use caution if you have a bee allergy.
1: no processed sugar, fruit juices
2: no grains
3: support spleen with squash
4: support liver: soure foods
5: support intestines: bitter foods
6: probiotic supplements
Thank u. 🙂
Thx Dr. Axe. The people complaining here are people who don't want to change their diet.

To those people, I do the tough love response, "then stay sick" simple as that. I spent the last 3-1/2 yrs bedridden 24/7 with caregivers as well, after getting bit by a tick and getting Lyme disease. My whole world went upside overnight. I was very healthy and super active and then it was gone in an instant, so please don't tell us how you can't stop your sugar. boo hoo! Try being bedridden for a lengthy amount of time and then see what you will do. "ANYTHING"!!! should be the answer!!! I have healed the Lyme (with Colloidal Gold, not silver) and a few other things, now working on the fungal aspect, I was 59 when I got bitten and now 64, I am walking 4 mikes a day and starting to lift weights as I lost ALL of my muscle mass as well as 30 lbs I didn't need to lose..If I can do it ANYONE can! Good luck hope I wasn't too harsh its really more about my passion for health. Blessings!

About bitter foods; Would Dandelion qualify? I have a lot of those in my yard and every spring I harvest the fresh young plants and eat them in salads, The older plants get tough and VERY bitter. I also wonder whether dandelion root tea might be helpful. PS I never use pesticides on my grass.
I am a fifteen year old living in the UK who has self diagnosed herself with a candida overgrowth, IBS and PCOS who has frequently been to the doctors asking for a diagnosis which has always ended in a "youre fine. just take some anti-biotics" and "youre too young to make a diagnosis on, youre a teenager and many things happen to your body at that time" like wtf? you want to diagnose me when im 18 where it would most definitely become worse, to the point where i could be on the verge of catching diseases from this fungus? AND GUESS WHAT. after months of visiting and having myself to explain my self diagnosis, they actually came to a fucking realisation that what i had been saying all this time is not bullshit. This is why i dont trust my doctors and tend to research more upon my problems.
But then again, whats the point? whats the point in going to a doctor when you know that there is actually no specific cure but just remedies upon remedies that are in store for you that you will have to eventually adapt into a daily routine. I mean i suffer from stress eating due to extreme depression, mostly from foods that candida loves and you expect me to stay like this forever? I doubt I will ever truly overcome this candida problem but this video was a great help anyway. Damn why cant there be more doctors like you lol
(btw in no way did i intend to offend Dr.Josh Axe, just expressing my thoughts that have been long kept inside)
I understand what you are going through. I've been dealing with candida for years n have to study for myself. Prayers for you 🙏 in Jesus Mighty Name !

I CURED MY CANDIDA OVERGROWTH. I HAD VERY BAD CANDIDA OVERGROWTH. EVERYTIME I WOULD EAT SOMETHING THAT CONTAINED SUGAR I WOULD BREAK OUT VERY BADLY ALL OVER MY BODY. I TRIED EVERYTHING INCLUDING GOING VEGAN. AND THE VEGAN DIET DID HELP REALLY WELL BUT AS SOON AS I ATE SOMETHING AND ANYTHING WITH SUGAR IN IT THE NEXT MORNING I WOULD BREAK OUT BADLY.
HOW I CURED MY CANDIDA: CANDIDA OVERGROWTH IS A RESULT OF HEAVY METAL TOXICITY AND I WENT TO MY DOCTOR TO CONFIRM THIS THEORY. IT SHOWED THAT MY MERCURY LEVELS WERE 9.9 WHEN THE SAFE LEVELS ARE 2. I WENT ONLINE AND ORDERED ZEOLITE TO CHELATE THE HEAVY METALS IN MY BODY. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH ON ZEOLITE I WAS WAY DOWN IN MY HEAVY METAL LOAD. AND AT THAT POINT AND NOW FOR MORE THAN A YEAR I CAN EAT WHATEVER I LIKE TO EAT INCLUDING CHOCLATES AND CAKES AND DRINK SODAS AND HAVE NO BREAKOUT WHATSOEVER. CANDIDA OVERGROWTH IS A RESULT OF A HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD.
I ALSO RECOMMEND BUYING GROUNDED CORIANDER AND CHILANTRO POWDER AND DRINKING THAT BEFORE BED TO SPEED UP THE CHELATION PROCESS. PERSONALLY I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE MEDICAL CHELATION PROCESS BECAUSE IT HAS SOME POTENTIAL NASTY SIDE EFFECTS.
HOW:
I DID ONE SCOOP OF ZEOLITE 2-3 TIMES A DAY FOR A TWO MONTH PERIOD. I ALSO HAD ABOUT 500ML OF WATER MIXED WITH GROUNDED CORIANDER AND CHLORELLA POWDER IN THE EVENING TO SPEED UP THE REMOVAL OF HEAVY METALS.
MY BRAIN FOG CLEARED UP, MY SWEATING WENT AWAY ( BUT IT DOES COME BACK SOMETIMES IF I HAVE EATEN LARGE FISH SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY METALS THEY CONTAIN ESPECIALLY FARMED FISH), BREAKOUTS GONE ETC
GOOD LUCK GUYS!
It was not only sugar. It was also fish, meat including chicken, potato and other starchy foods and any foods that contained sugar also in the form of fructose. To my knowledge there are three ways of chelating heavy metals
1. The natural way by using for example cilantro and chlorella in conjunction
2. Going to the doctor and using chemical based chelation
3. Zeolite
Zeolite attaches itself to heavy metals including mercury which we are being poisoned with through the foods we consume and fish is especially high on the culprit list. I say choose which ever way fits your preferences but do your own research. There is little doubt at least my mind based on my experience and the experience of many that Candida overgrowth is based on heavy metal toxicity. And you get can heavy metal toxicity by having amalgam fillings like I had when I was in my teens, you can get it through consuming fish (the fda now recommends eating fish a maximum of 2 times per week). If you absolutely love fish and cannot live without it try to stick to the smaller kinds and supplement with selenium as selenium aids in the non absorption of heavy metals.
@@Hveragerthi
You have done good research. That is for sure! Did you have candida overgrowth and if so how did you neutralise it? I'm speaking from personal experience and from a perspective of someone who finally managed to beat what was a very bad case of candida overgrowth.
For a second I thought you were here to misinform. I can tell you from first hand personal experience that zeolite does chelate heavy metals. You are right about the fact that the bigger fish contain more mercury, but the issue is also that 75% of all fish is farmed and the absolute worst is Norwegian salmon. If you must eat farmed salmon then I recommend the Irish salmon. They write that it is organic but I please remember that organic is not the same as wild. It just means that they take greater care in how many fish are kept per square foot, what kind of feed the fish get etc. If you want to watch a good documentary on the fishing industry here is a good one: ruclips.net/video/RYYf8cLUV5E/видео.html
Not only are they propping the fish with mercury and hormones in most cases but also with something called ethoxyquin which is a known carcinogen in many cases. You can keep the fish in as clean water as you want but if you feed them with known carcinogens and mercury ladden fish feed the result will be the same. It turns out the company that is producing and putting this carcinogen into the fish feed is you guessed it our old friend MONSANTO. The same company that is putting other carcinogens into our foods via their pesticides, They were just ordered to pay 289 million dollars to a customer who got cancer from one of their pesticides.
Again if there are other methods that are natural and proven I think that is wonderful. I must emphasize proven as I spent hundreds of hours and hundreds of dollars trying out many different diets and methods until I did a mercury test. Once my mercury levels were reduced the candida overgrowth issue went away. So my first advice to anyone trying to find a solution to an issue is see if you can find someone who has had success before you. If they have and if it is SAFE then you should consider giving it a go. I"m not a medical doctor so you must take this as a friendly use of the freedom of speech and as coming from someone who wants to help others along the way with Love. I have used zeolite and when combined with Cilantro, Chlorella and lots of water it did wonders for me. Peace and Love
Thanks!
Omg... you speaking facts!! What about small fish like sardines or shrimp? Do you think those add to heavy mental aswel? And also what about the grains/beans and fruits? Thanks
@@wer1838 which brand of zeolite and chlorella and how much cilantro and chloreaala per day?
I have candida ..white tongue/ big belly
Her is how I cure it
Just eat first thing in the morning
( yogurt + garlic +latency or mint) for about month
The garlic kills the harmful fungi
The yogurt billed useful fungi..
Latency and mint... Make stomach relax and help with Gases...
If this help you please pray for me
joodytenshi did it work for you?
How did you eat or take the garlic? You don't mention that, that is the worst part of it?
Garlic doesn't cure candida, it just goes into the blood and creates a pseudo-metabolism. People are slaves to garlic/onions and when they eat it they become like mindless robots, going to work and back without feeling any emotions, and working long hours without feeling anything in their bodies. Garlic eater = docile human that is easy to control.
Joodytenshi I Command the candida to leave your body in Jesus name Amen
@@theearthisntflatpleasestop9899 so sorry that some garlics hurt your feelings man
Add vegetables and starchy carbs 2:55 …. Shouldn’t we be avoiding starchy carbs if we have a candida overgrowth? Was this a misread on your part?
Thank you doc I have to follow your advice. Its really disturbing me this sickness
Hello Dr. Axe! Is it OK to eat buckweet, millet and qinoa during candida diet? And on what stage of diet should I add antifungal supplements? Thank you very much!!!
Dr. Axe thanks for this video. However, my Candida overgrowth is so bad that it’s caused a leaky gut, therefore I have food sensitivities/ histamine intolerance! Is there anything else I can do for the liver besides fermented or cultured foods? Ugh I feel so stuck because of all the foods I CANNOT EAT!
I'm with you about all the foods I can't eat. I'm GF, DF and have to avoid sugars. It sucks, I'm on round 2 of fluconazole. I believe I already support my other organs with how I eat already.
Have you made any progress?
@@SophiaVonHelgastein Well, it would be great if my comment to you had stayed! They delete my comments all the time now! 🤬🤬
I’m improving, thanks to seeing a Biological Dentist! Still need help after surgery to detoxify what I STILL believe to be Candida causing a residual infection!
thx DR. AXE. You re THE BEST! You re my hero...Im glad I ve found your video ! GOD BLESS YOU DR !!!
Are you recovered
@@areeshabutt3204 LOL
@beading tutorials did you heal your candida?
Do you eat buckwheat
@@mariasaucedo5378 I too am curious if this works. I have suspected that I may have candida or some kind of fungal overgrowth for a while now. I have been dealing with digestive issues for years, I have a white coating on my tongue, small little bumps on my skin in some places, and a rosacea looking rash on my cheeks. I just don’t know what to eat if I cut out more foods than I already have like gluten, dairy, onion, garlic. I have only drank water with the exception of some protein shakes for years now. I am a pickier eater by nature and would not choose those sour and bitter foods, like sauerkraut. I do eat cinnamon though. But I worry about the advice to cut out all grains, does that include oatmeal, brown rice? How and where will I get enough fiber?
The diet is hard to do when your used to eating whatever you want. Especially if you have to feed / cook for your family. What is the most important things to do to start with?
Thank you so much. I get so exhausted all the time, sometimes are worse than others. I can go out one day feeling bad, the next I'm bed rideen. this makes so much sense. I know I have Candida, I have the signs. If i eat choclate, I feel terrible the next day. my tongue tases terrible, and my breat smells.
What about fruits?
Oregano oil for 2 weeks and then you give yourself a break and olive leaf tree extract antifungal and great at killing off candida as well. The olive leaf is more of a supplement so you can take that for a while just make sure you're taking healthy probiotics. And definitely follow his advice avoid anything processed that includes sugar it's going to probably give you a detox side effects but man is it worth it at the end to feel better
How to eat olive leaves can be an accurate description
Why do you have to take a break from
Oregano? I’ve been take it for over
A month 🤔
@@Phettraining86 how do you drink the oregano oil. Please let me know.
@@juanacruz2010 they come is capsule. Bought it off Amazon
😊 2:01
Yes as some one says may be eating more yogurt will help on this
I listened to Fit Life TV podcast called "DIY 48 Second Test for Candida." The gut expert is Christa Arrechio who states fermented foods FEEDS Candida. So who is right and who is wrong?
Dr.Axe,I m so happy that I found ur video.
Doctor, I'm confused. I've read that although kefir and kombucha are great for natural probiotics in our system, candida feeds from fermented foods, such as kefir, kombucha, beer, etc. Is that true?
Our son is always getting what seems like strep but it doesn't test out as strep. I'm thinking it must be candida overgrowth. White coated tongue and throat, always tired, sore throat too. He does consume a lot of processed foods and sugar. Also he recently started working the night shift and his circadian rhythms are all out of whack. He'll sleep for like 16 hours.
What is the best probiotics for candida?
07/17/24 my GI Map test said I have candida & leaky gut etc, and this morning I bloated badly eating at bakery.
I've been feeling like this for a week now and yoh can't wait to get over it...
Some very nice tips, especially the lesser known ones like supporting the spleen with barely tea. But a very important step was missed even though it's not food related. Aerobic exercise is very helpful to reducing candida since candida love anaerobic environments.
Hi can hiit exercise replace it?
@@gargiganguly5076 I would assume so if your HIT gets your heart rate and oxygen levels up. It's not something I've read specifically, but I would think that the principals are the same.
@@DragonPatriot1 okay😊
I thought the title said how to cure Canada in 6 steps... just made me realise how much sleep I need rn 😴
If you know you have a candida overgrowth, You need to avoid anything made with yeast. That would definitely include apple cider vinegar, vinegar, beer, wine, alcoholic beverages of all varieties and sugar. Even most baked goods have a yeast to make the bread or cake rise. And once you make some progress, you have to fortify the gut flora with probiotics to keep the territory that you liberated from being re-infected by the opportunistic Candida Albicans.
Apple cider vinegar?
@@rrastamarian all fermented foods have some yeast in some degree
How about coffee? I have been dealing with Candida for many years. I have cut out sugar and grains. I do love my 1/4 cup of coffee in 3/4 cup fresh made coconut milk every morning. I don’t add sugar. Is this ok?
I’m working with a Biological Dentist and when I told her I know I’ve been struggling with Candida for probably close to two decades, she said that I really need to cut out all sugar. I don’t eat processed sugar. I eat raw, local honey. I eat less than a tablespoon, and not even every day. Another thing is I was told to stay away from starchy foods with Candida. I’m so confused. I also eat raw milk yogurt and drink raw milk. Is this something I should stay away from too, dairy? Even tho it’s not crappy store bought milk?? I really need this to be gone once and for all. Not sure I’m clear on when to start introducing different foods back in tho. I don’t want to be afraid of eating for the rest of my life either…. 😒😣☹️
Also add dandelion root tea 🦋♥️
Thank you for This Valuable and much needed information dr. Axe
I just found out about Candida! I have had diarrhea for over 10 years. I have gas all the time, bloating, fatigue, and rash on my forehead. I gotta try this because the doctors have no idea whats wrong with me.
How are things now
@@احمداشرف-د4ن6و I still have Candida. I got lazy and have diarrhea all the time again.
@@AaronShaunBrennan why you didn't take antibiotics i will do it what is your opinion
@@احمداشرف-د4ن6و i took medication but it. Ame back after a week. I will try again once i get insurance again.
Hi I eat no sugar or gluten or alcohol for quite a long while and still have systemic candida including thrush on my tongue. Its very discouraging
Hello Dr Axe, one symptom you forgot to mention is the INCREDIBLE wish for, craving for sugar!! Especially the amount of sugar one consumes in the form of chocolates, sweets, cakes etc. One would think one has DEVELOPED a
"Sweet Tooth ". Also the necessity of wanting "something sweet" after heavily spiced, or rich, heavy meals. In fact any salty dishes ! Also just craving for sugar in any form of e.g ice cream, biscuits, sweet (fizzy) drinks, very, very sweet ripe fruits... the list is endless! This wish for sweetness is satisfied, but sometimes the consumption of a vast portion makes one feel sick. But one does not vomit. Instead one drinks plain water, tea without sugar...etc. to stop the nausea, even repulsion against the amount of sweetness (including honey, syrup etc) consumed in all its types and forms.! I am you will read my message. And give me an answer!
Regards m
PS. You have mentioned one should drink barley tea. I thought barley is a grain? You have suggested NOT to eat grains. How is gluten extracted from barley, to make it drinkable. Can one eat barley while one has Candida? And how can it be introduced in one's diat? m
Candida overgrowth for years also. Thanks for the video DR.
Perfect and helpful video, thank you so much!
Dr Josh - I know this is a old video but maybe you’ll see this question- maybe 22yr old daughter lost her Spleen in a car accident where many of her organs were punctured. What should she do more of or what can she take to prevent problems in the future? Thank you!!
I'm a little confused, we should support the spleen by drinking barley tea, which contains gluten, but eliminate grains from diet. Wouldn't the tea possibly trigger gut issues??
After taking multiple courses of antibiotics and I developed a craving for sugar which I began to satisfy and suddenly I gained 300 pounds in two years I lost all my energy all my bones started to ache I began to experience what I believe to be adrenal fatigue I am tired all the time my tongue is white my feet have severe athletes foot and I itch a lot in my intimate areas I have gotten UTI and it smell like ammonia. I never thought it could all be caused by fungal overgrowth but after watching a couple of these videos it all makes sense. I am sick of it and I want to rid myself of this condition
In 2010 I did a 21 day green juice fast and all of my tinea versacolor improved but not completely gone. Also all the joint pain left. I had so much energy. I believe I had candida and it was causing those symptoms. If you think you have candida try a green juice fast then work on eating a plant based diet.
How long should one stay on this diet?! I am very into fitness and I am also a college student eating in a cafeteria so without grains I feel like I won't have enough energy to walk around campus or get through my workouts. After seeing a chiropractor, she muscle tested me and said I could eat quinoa, brown rice, and ezekiel bread so I was just wondering what you thought about that?
Kefir is great for your digestion.
Probiotica fight to candida bi eating ol the shugger.
I repair mij digestion bi drinking the Kefir water every day vor a have jear
I haven't eaten sugar, and other sweeteners, dairy or gluten in over 2 years. I went grain free for a couple months. I eliminated most fruits until recently - those high in sugar, and starchy vegetables. Still have candida, though not as much.
I got candida from taking some anti inflammatory pills with a lot of steroid. My doctor prescribed me a medicine for candida and I decided to take something natural but I was doing my self. I was so sick and then I decided to visit a naturopath doctor. I am on 9 weeks of treatment and lost 18 pounds because of the diet. I went to visit him last week and the candida was negative but I still have to treat my leaky gut because my stomach can’t handle protein and other foods. I eat very healthy since 2006 but eating just greens and 20% of 3 grains and no fruits is very difficult for me. I am clean of candida but I still have to wait a least 3-4 months to eat fruits.
NOT AN EASY DIET.
So
If having candida overgrowth can’t eat fruits?
Butter nut squash and sweet potatoes 🍠 and barley tea Kim chee apple cider vinegar kale 🥬 and NO SUGAR 1 GOT IT !!
Squash has lots of seeet I m surprised he said that also lentils etc
Drink lemon water and apple vinegar while your stomach is empty. And add garlic to your yogurt. You will see the results in a couple days.
How much of each ,how many times per day?
I don't believe that Apple vinegar is real in the stores.
I had candida albican for a lots of years. Had symptoms like...
Mood swings
Peristant bad breath
Vomiting yellow and green color. Anxiety,.... The list goes on and on.
How are you now? Did you get rid of it?
Thank you Dr. Axe for this informative Video.
Thanks Doctor! Amazing how you talk about candida and I'm having trouble with thrush on my tongue. Blessings!
How do you eliminate sugar when one is addicted to it??? Its almost worse than heroin!
