Treatments for a yeast infection usually include the use of antifungal drugs and creams. Creams can be used for skin rashes and vaginal infections caused from an overgrowth. In addition, a yeast free diet will keep the problem from occurring again unless the patient is being treated for an infection with antibiotics or has other immune system problems.
Taking acidophilus at the same time of taking antibiotics may help to prevent the imbalance that occurs in the digestive tract. Some yogurts found in the supermarket contain active cultures of lactobacillus acidophilus and can be eaten to help to prevent overgrowth of candida albicans. Drug stores and supermarkets usually carry acidophilus along with the majority of health food stores
Primarily an infection from candida may be linked to immune system dysfunction. Yeast allergy symptoms are caused by toxins from the overgrowth. Immune system dysfunction can lead to other types of illnesses and allergies. People who suffer with reoccurring sinus inflammation and infection, chronic coughing, sore throats, insomnia, and nervousness should ask their doctor about candida overgrowth. Skin conditions associated with candida allergy include athlete’s foot, diaper rash, impetigo, jock itch, dandruff, and dermatitis. Anyone who has had an unexplained rash that will not go away should check with their physician for the possibility of a fungi infection.
Patients who suspect an allergy should avoid sugars, fruit, simple carbohydrates, and foods that seem to make them feel worse. Eating too much sugar will feed the candida and make it multiply. Milk and milk products that contain a high content of lactose should be avoided. Some of the vegetables to limit on a yeast free diet include potatoes, corn, yams, and parsnips. Any foods, sauces, or drinks that contain sugar, syrup, soy, tomato sauce, tomato paste, and other sweeteners or syrups should also be avoided. Pickles or pickled vegetables should be avoided since they are stored in vinegar. A patient who makes healthy lifestyle changes that include eating healthy and exercising may find that most of their symptoms diminish and in time may even completely go away.
