Plan to do your Candida cleanse over several months. An effective long-term solution to Candida involves taking over an extended length of time both anti-fungal supplements and probiotics in-between colon and liver cleanses.

6
Begin with a colon cleanse for optimum results. High-fiber foods, raw organic vegetables, whole flaxseeds and the herb cascara will help to ready your body for the Candida cleanse. Fruit should be avoided entirely because of its natural sugar content. Also avoid anything that contains yeast, like bread.

7
Alternate between a program of antifungal remedies and probiotics throughout the Candida cleanse. Antifungals should be used for 2 weeks. Probiotics should be used for another 2 weeks. This procedure should be repeated for 3 months.

Chew your food thoroughly during the entire cleanse. Undigested food can contribute to an increase in Candida.

Eat foods that contain the kinds of bacteria that help to control Candida, including unsweetened yogurt, kefir, apple cider vinegar and sauerkraut.
