Is Your Candida Diet Calcium Deficient?

We all know that sticking to a strict candida diet is essential to controlling and eliminating candida overgrowth. The diet is very strict, cutting out all foods high in sugar and starch as well as any other food that may welcome the growth of candida albicans, dairy included.

The problem, however, is that the nutrients contained in most dairy products are not bad for us. We all need to have plenty of vitamin D and calcium in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A deficiency in either can lead to long-term medical complications including osteoporosis, rickets, and osteomalacia. These diseases can affet both your muscles and bones and have a number of lifelong effects.

In the article, Are You Getting Enough Calcium From Your Anti Candida Diet?, Narawin JK briefly discusses the possible dangers of adopting an anti-candida diet without replacing the foods you are eliminating with either better foods or proper supplementation.

You can obtain calcium from a number of candida-friendly foods, like broccoli, dried fruit, and tuna, but will you seek them out if they’re not already a part of your diet? The choice is up to you.
