There are actually several good yeasts that will help push Candida out of your system! I liked the way it's explained on this site:
bodyecology.com/articles/nutritional_yeast_what_you_need_to_know.php While I don't know how accurate some of the information found on that page is, this is pretty accurate (as far as I know anyway!).
"While candida albicans is an example of a harmful yeast, It's important to know that there are also yeasts that are very beneficial for your health.
Just because a food or drink contains yeast, this does not mean that it is necessarily a damaging yeast. Nor will yeast in your food necessarily cause an increase in a systemic yeast or fungal infection. In fact, there a certain yeast obtained in the foods or drinks you eat that are, indeed, very beneficial.
But some are certainly not... especially when they are wild yeast... so we'd like to clear up some of the confusion.
Wild, airborne yeast found in naturally fermented kombucha and in sourdough breads can be a problem for someone with a pathogenic candida infection.
The probiotic foods and drinks we recommend have beneficial yeasts in them that help build your immune system and fight candida.'
For another example, any time I would deal with a bit of Candida, it was because I had allowed myself to run out of my milk kefir which has several good yeasts as well. Within a week to 10 days of starting back on my raw milk kefir, things were back under control. The good yeasts present in most milk Kefir (
