There are good herbal treatments to cleanse the digestion system of candida but it is important to go to the doctors to make sure that is what it is and change your diet. You may need antibiotics and then you will need to eat yogurt or take probiotics to replace the good bacteria the antibiotics took out of your system. Also eat plenty of FRESH vegetables and fruits.
Foods to Eat
Vegetables (including plenty of raw garlic), protein foods (beef, chicken, eggs, fish), live yogurt cultures (both dairy and non-dairy,) FOS*, whey, acidophilus, green algae's (such as spirulina and chlorella), nuts, seeds and oils, and non-glutenous grains (like millet, rice, rice bran and oat bran).
Foods to Avoid
Aged cheeses, alcohol, chocolate, dried fruits, fresh fruits, fermented foods, mushrooms, vinegar, glutenous foods (wheat, rye, oats, barley), all sugars, honeys and syrups (that includes any 'ose', like lactose, sucrose etc), and foods that contain yeast or mold (breads, muffins, cakes, baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, melons, peanuts - although nutritional and brewer's yeasts are not harmful, as they do not colonize in the intestines).
