#BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH FROM OVERCONSUMPTION OF SUGAR HOW TO#
It’s so beneficial to have others around you who have either battled Candida before personally or are aware of how to encourage you to reach your goal of overcoming Candida. Just like battling any other addiction (smoking, drugs, junk food), it takes plenty of effort and determination to succeed. The important thing to remember is that it is absolutely possible to bring the body back into balance, it just requires effort and patience. Depending on the person this can go anywhere from a few days to weeks. To quit and overcome Candida you not only have to get over the sugar ‘addiction’, you have to sustain it long enough for the Candida to begin to wither away and exit the body. Once you remove it from your everyday life you begin to think about it, dream about it in the same way as other addictions, it becomes incredibly difficult to overcome. This is the primary reason why removing sugar from the diet is so hard, your body ‘craves’ it. So, what does that mean for you? Well, everything alive fights to live fights for survival. What makes Candida even harder to deal with is the fact that it’s a living organism.

Unfortunately, this leads to great discomfort for the host (us). Just like anything else, when there is an abundance of food, Candida flourishes. All of us have a tendency to want to place blame and cause on outside factors, but because Candida is so closely related to our own diet and lifestyle it’s not something we can hide from.Īfter this, the question becomes if our diet is responsible, what foods or habits are we doing that is leading to the over the proliferation of Candida? The primary culprit is sugar, more specifically the overconsumption of them these sugars are what feed the yeast. We as people tend to not want to admit Candida is our problem because it’s one of the few ‘conditions’ that is influenced heavily by our diet and lifestyle. In most cases, Candida is only addressed or considered when other options are ruled out.
