Testing for Candida Yeast Infection

There is another test which you can do, to give you an idea of whether you might have a yeast problem…

This is really easy to do at home (just be aware that it is perfectly normal to have a low level of yeast/candida in your body – it is only when it gets out of control that it becomes a problem):

• First thing in the morning, before eating or drinking anything, spit into a clear glass of water.
• Keep checking your glass until 1 hour has passed
• ’Healthy’ saliva will float on top of the glass after one hour
• If your saliva has long strings, cloudy specks or sinks to the bottom of the glass, this is a sign there is candida in your system

Don’t worry if your tests do show a yeast infection. It may take a little time, and a little effort, but a natural remedy for yeast infection can definitely help.

'Three Prong' Approach to a Natural Remedy for Yeast Infection

1. Starve the yeast - with a dietary yeast infection remedy
2. Kill the yeast - treat with herbal natural remedies for yeast infection
3. Replace the good bacteria in the gut - to keep the yeast under control – using probiotics as a natural remedy for yeast infection

Causes of Candida Yeast Infection

• Certain factors make a yeast infection more likely. These kill off the ‘good bacteria’ in the gut, which normally keep the candida under control:
  • antibiotics
  • steroids
  • contraceptives
  • HRT
  • immune suppressing drugs
  • ’poisoning’ from mercury fillings
  • ’poisoning’ from heavy metals
  • ’poisoning’ from chemicals
  • hormonal changes – puberty, pregnancy, menopause
  • molds
  • stress
  • allergies to foods – allergies create a sugar imbalance, and weaken the whole immune system
• One of the main causes for candida is sugar. Candida/yeast feeds off sugar in the gut – it needs it to stay alive! So if you remove sugar from the equation, this will help the candida to die off.
• For the most effective natural remedies for yeast infection, you should avoid all sugar - this includes natural sugar in fruit, and substances like:
  • fructose
  • lactose
  • maltose
  • dextrose




• Other foods to avoid include:
  • refined carbohydrates –
    • white breads
    • cakes
    • biscuits
    • pastries etc
  • yeast products
  • alcohol
  • smoked and cured products – such as meat and kippers
  • fermented products – like vinegar or soy sauce
  • chocolate
  • caffeine – tea and coffee
  • dairy or cheese (except live yogurt)
  • mushrooms
  • nuts -
    • peanuts
    • cashews
    • pistachios
  • any foods you are allergic to
• After a few weeks, you may be able to reintroduce natural fruit sugars.
• As any yeast related symptoms reduce, you may gradually reintroduce some of the other food products. Cut them out again, if you start to get symptoms again.
• Continue to avoid sugars and refined carbohydrates totally, as part of a healthy diet.

You should by now be well on the way to a complete natural remedy for yeast infection…
