Decrease or avoid sugars (corn and maple syrup, glucose, fructose and sucrose). Sugars are food for Candida and help it grow.
Decrease or avoid alcohol. Alcohol converts to sugar and helps Candida grow.
Swallow large amounts of garlic. (Fresh is considered best -- mince and put into empty gelatin capsules, up to six cloves a day.) Garlic is believed to have some natural anti-fungal properties. (Note: it is unknown if large amounts of garlic interfere with anti-HIV drugs, but some evidence exists that it may increase the risk of side effects from ritonavir [Norvir].)
Drink milk or eat yogurt that contains acidophilus bacteria. Acidophilus is "friendly" bacteria that helps keep your body in balance.
