Once you’ve eliminated toxic and inflammatory foods from your anti-candida diet, next, you’ll want to attack the candida by taking supplements that help break down the cell wall of yeast cells.
I use candifense® as well as caprylic acid. Candifense® supports microbe balance in the gi tract and discourages the growth of yeast while caprylic acid helps penetrate intestinal mucosal cells to exert the effect of yeast. Both candifense® and caprylic acid are excellent at helping to break down the walls of candida cells, and are the strongest candida killers i have on hand.
What is Candida Overgrowth?
The evidence supporting the use of natural remedies for candidiasis generally is weak. Lifestyle changes like the following may lower the risk of candidiasis, though they’re unlikely to treat active infections:
diet: restricting foods that can effectively fuel candida growth, like refined sugars and dairy products, may be helpful. Sugar alcohols like xylitol may inhibit candida growth. Smoking and alcohol cessation: cigarette smoking appears to be linked to the overgrowth of candida. Both tobacco and alcohol use are predictors of candida infection and the spread of candida to the esophagus.
Vaginal yeast infections: probiotics lower the ph in the vagina and can act as a barrier to yeasts like candida.

Trillions of bacteria live in our gastrointestinal tract – most of which are helpful to us. Probiotics are the “friendly” or “good” bacteria and the more of these strains we have, the better. Eating certain foods such as yogurt introduce probiotics naturally in our body but our stomach acids can kill the bacteria before they have a chance to benefit us. Probiotic supplements are designed to guard against belly acids making them a more effective method of getting more good bacteria in our body. When gut bacteria is imbalanced it leads to inflammation which promotes conditions like candida yeast overgrowth and leaky gut.
Gluten is a major contributor to dysbiosis, inflammation, and candida overgrowth. The worst offenders include white bread, white pasta, and most cereals. Gluten causes chronic inflammation in the gut and destroys the bond between the cells lining your intestinal wall. ( 1 ) there are plenty of delicious gluten-free grains and pseudo-grains. Some great options include buckwheat, quinoa, teff, and millet. You can also enjoy non-starchy vegetables which are naturally gluten-free. Some vegetables can even be substituted for grains in certain recipes. Try zucchini noodles or a cauliflower pizza base! you can also substitute most flours for gluten-free alternatives, such as coconut flour, almond flour or buckwheat flour.
An elemental diet is a liquid meal replacement formula that provides a complete nutritional profile broken down into its most "elemental" forms. Fat, proteins, and carbohydrates are broken down into amino acids, short-chain triglycerides, short-chain maltodextrins, and vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes in a comprehensive "predigested" formula easily absorbed by the digestive tract. Fiber is generally excluded as it can feed bacteria that have relocated into the small intestines. An elemental diet may be used to treat sibo or sifo by replacing other food for two to three weeks to starve the yeast or bacteria in the small intestine while still adequately nourishing the body.
