Are you suffering from male yeast infection symptoms?
At this time of year, when the weather is warmer, many of us start to suffer from patches of red, inflamed and itchy skin. Usually this appears in the folds of skin around the body such as in the groin, under stomach folds (if carrying extra weight) and anywhere else on the body where the skin may be kept warm and moist….particularly in warm weather. Sometimes this overgrowth of candida albicans can cause soreness and irritation to the penis (penile yeast infection).
If this condition is something that you can relate to, there is more information on our Male Yeast Infection Symptoms page.

Candidol is an exciting product that helps to supplement the nutrients that may not be found in your normal diet that help your body to naturally fight yeast infection.

Review of Candidol
I am pleased to say, in reviewing Candidol, that I was very pleased with the results. Within 24 hours there was a reduction in vaginal itching. Within 48 hours of taking Candidol I was aware of increased energy levels and a general sense of improved focus and well-being. Continued over a further 2 weeks, using Candidol has left me feeling less bloated and inappropriately hungry (often a side effect of tiredness). Watch this space for an update on how sustained use has benefited my general health.
Candidol is a useful approach to tackling yeast overgrowth is a more “hands on” making natural remedies for yeast infection is not the thing for you. Both Linda Allen’s holistic approach to treating a yeast infection and oral natural supplements for treating yeast infection are effective and straight forward approaches. Both approaches are recommended by Yeast Infection Helpdesk.
As a special offer to Yeast Infection Helpdesk readers, I can offer a special 3 for 2 deal on Candidol by following the links in this post.
Recurring yeast infection and diet
Whilst yeast infection can be caused by physiological factors, it can also be caused by the lifestyle choices of the person suffering from yeast infection. If those lifestyle choices go unchanged then recurring yeast infection will become a problem.
Diet is a lifesytle factor that can have major impact upon yeast infection. Many people consider diet a lifestyle choice. Earlier posts have examined how some food preferences can increase the risk of yeast infection. In the forthcoming series of posts we will examine the good dietary choices that can be made to enhance the body’s fight against yeast infection.
Foods to avoid during a yeast infection – Cheese
Most cheeses undergo a long manufacturing process that leaves a bloom to the edge of the cheese that is a fungus in its own right. There are also many cheeses that involve the introduction of mould into the manufacturing process. These moulds or funghi can exacerbate yeast infection symptoms making hard and mouldy cheeses foods that are best to avoid during a yeast infection.
Foods to avoid during a yeast infection – other food products
Other categories of foods to avoid during a yeast infection include:
- cured or smoked meats and fish including smoked salmon, kippers and bacon.
- peanuts and peanut products.
- all malted products.
- tea, coffee, hot chocolate and ovaltine.
- fermented products such as vinegars, pickles, chutney, soy sauce etc.
All of the above items are implicated in either introducing further yeast into your diet or changing the ph balance of your digestive tract making it more susceptible to candida overgrowth. As such they are foods to avoid during a yeast infection.
Should I avoid smoking during a yeast infection?
Smoking is widely acknowledged to be bad for our health and bodies. Our bodies need oxygen for efficient blood circulation. Oxygen is also an essential factor in eliminating toxins and other waste products from our bodies.
For this reason, smoking may slow down the elimination of your yeast infection symptoms as well as possibly exacerbating the thrush symptoms if you are suffering from oral thrush. For this reason you should avoid smoking during a yeast infection.
Foods to avoid during a yeast infection – Alcohol
Alcohol includes yeast in the production process. Beers and lagers tend to be worse for exacerbating yeast infection symptoms than wine or spirits. Beacause sugar is also included in the production process, alcohol is best avoided during a yeast infection so that the yeast infection symptoms have a chance to clear up before adding anything else to your digestive system that will encourage candida overgrowth.
Excessive consumption of alcohol will also compromise health and immunity making it harder to fight off a yeast infection.
Foods to avoid during a yeast infection – foods containing yeast
If you are struggling with yeast infection symptoms, it stands to reason that avoiding foods that contain (or have contained) yeast is a good was to avoid exacerbating your yeast infection symptoms.
Foods that contain yeast include bread, pastries and biscuits. Some of these items will also contain sugar making them an even more necessary food to avoid during a yeast infection. If you really feel that you cannot give up any of these foods then products made with whole wheat flour rather that white flour (which is processed to make it white) is a better choice.
Foods to avoid during a yeast infection – Processed Foods
Any processed food contains chemicals and additives that may not be beneficial to your body. Many of these chemicals and preservatives are very acidic. This means they may create an ambient environment to encourage candida overgrowth to occur. Processed foods are therefore foods to avoid during a yeast infection.
The acidity in processed foods also has the capacity to destroy good cells in the body reducing its resistance to yeast and making it harder to eliminate your yeast infection. In any circumstances processed foods are acknowledged to be an unhealthy choice if used regularly…but they are definately best avoided during a yeast infection.
Foods to avoid during a yeast infection- Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a fungus food. Given that yeast infection is a overgrowth of fungus (candida albicans), it makes good sense that a fungus food such as mushrooms should be avoided during a yeast infection. This will avoid further fungus being invited into the digestive tract and exacerbating the symptoms of yeast infection that are being experienced.
Many people find that of all the foods to avoid during a yeast infection, avoiding fungus food such as mushrooms is helpful in alleviating their yeast infection symptoms.
