      The candida diet is also known as the yeast infection diet. It eliminates food that the yeast thrives upon. The goal of the candida diet is to essentially starve the yeast to death. The candida diet is quite restrictive as you must avoid foods that contain sugar or yeast. While a lot of fruit should be avoided, berries are allowed in the candida diet. But, some berries are recommended more than others, usually based on how much sugar they contain.

    Raspberry

    • While they should be avoided in the initial phase of the candida diet, raspberries can be added in once you reach the preventative phase. The initial stage of the diet is very restrictive. Raspberries are low in sugar and appropriate for the candida diet. Eat less than one cup of raspberries per day.

    Blueberries

    • Blueberries are allowed on the candida diet. They are very low in sugar and are chock-full of antioxidants. Once you are past the very initial stage of the candida diet, where you body is detoxing, you can consume up to two cups of blueberries per day.

    Strawberries

    • Fresh or frozen, strawberries are allowed in small amounts on the candida diet. This is only if no sugar is added. However, while strawberries are lower in sugar than many other fruits, they are higher in sugar than other berries such as raspberries or blueberries. Thus, try to avoid them in the initial phases of the diet and include them in small amounts during the preventative phase.
