How to Flush Yeast From Your Body

An overgrowth of yeast in the body can create many health problems. Hormone disturbances, sugar cravings, fatigue and problems concentrating can all be caused by an excess of yeast in the intestines. The process of flushing yeast from the body will require time, commitment and lifestyle changes, but it may be well worth the effort.

Things You'll Need

• Probiotic supplement
• Water

Instructions

1. Eliminate yeast from your diet by avoiding such things as sugar, sugar substitutes, brewers yeast, and baked goods such as breads, pastries and rolls. Also avoid alcoholic beverages as they have been through the fermenting process, which uses yeast. Foods containing vinegar, such as pickles, ketchup, soy sauce and some mayonnaise products, also have yeast.

2. Consult your doctor about phasing out any medications that may support or contribute to the formation of yeast or its growth. Medications such as birth control pills, antibiotics and steroids can cause an overgrowth of yeast to occur in the body.

3. Take a probiotic supplement. Probiotics are supplements or foods that contain good or beneficial bacteria that helps normalize the digestive track, where most yeast lives.

4. Drink at least 64 ounces, or 8 cups, of water a day to aid the body in cleansing and flushing yeast.
