Summary

Nearly a third of the population eventually will contract candida at some point in their lives. This hard-to-cure yeast infection produces a confusing mix of symptoms, starting with an uncomfortable thrush infection in the mouth and genitals, and leading to digestive and bowel problems, and even mood swings, mental confusion, and failing memory. While your doctor might tell you what foods to avoid, here are a naturopathic expert's recipes for what you can eat to bring healing and prevention. Select from a tasty menu of breakfasts, light lunches, main meals, snacks, and drinks, including alternative ingredients for lactose intolerance and other allergies. Inspirational, authoritative advice about healthy lifestyles accompanies the recipes to make your recovery a time of discovery.
