Cutting out sugar is the best thing you can do to get rid of your yeast infection but will benefit you in other ways too. Initially you should cut out all forms of sugar for at lest three months. To counteract constipation ensure that you get plenty of fibre through eating non refined grains such as quinoa or buckwheat and lots of green vegetables. It's also vital that you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I suffered from chronic candidiasis for 2 years and got through it by totally changing my diet. As a result of changing my diet I eliminated the candidiasis and feel a lot healthier in general with increased energy levels. The diet I followed was called the body ecology diet. If you want to check it out go to http://www.bodyecologydiet.com. Sticking to the diet is tedious and time-consuming but it's worth it. Take a look!

Best,
