I believe that candida sufferers must not eat yeast, dairy and some other food containing sugar, dairy and some others. Is it true? Does the yeast in the different foods “feed” the candida? ie Does mushrooms, bread, coffee, alcohol (mild dosages) and others enhance the growth of candida? Doesn’t the natural stomach acids kill the threat and remove the risk of futher infestation? I also beleive that antibiotics can enhance the growth of candida. Does that go for intravenous antibiotics as well?

Hi Tonya, A fungal skin infection can be flakey, but is also quite itchy. Is it localized or all over?

@LaShaune, If the Rash came on suddenly then it was probably an allergic reaction to something and not Candida.

Hello, is it possible/normal to have skin outbreaks/rashes based on a particular food item that may trigger the yeast infection, such as sugar or alcohol

If you are or have been on medications that weaken the immune system are you at greater risk?

Hi Lisa, Not usually unless it’s a very severe case. Most of the time it’s Candida albicans unless you have an immune disorder.

do we need a blood test to determine which
type of candida has infected us?
