Diet and Supplements

• Bread
  
  If you are diagnosed with systemic yeast, you will need to eliminate yeast and glutens from your diet. These include most breads, cereals, pastries, pasta, wheat products, ice cream and milk. You will also need to be careful at restaurants as many of these entities marinade their meats with sauces that contain yeast or glutens. Fortunately, there are many gluten-free products on the market that you can substitute for these foods. Almost all brown rice products are gluten-free. Plus, there are a number of delicious snacks that are gluten-free, including almond and pecan crackers, ice cream and even cookies.
  
  In some of the more severe yeast cases, brown rice products have been used exclusively to heal dietary systemic yeast problems. Over time, small levels of glutens can again be consumed. However, many sufferers of systemic yeast commit to the lifestyle changes and continue with their diet.
  
  There are also a number of supplements that can be used to control and eliminate systemic yeast. Probiotics are recommended to restore the imbalance of flora in the gut. Digestive enzymes can help kill the yeast. Garlic, calendula, grapefruit seed extract and Paul D'Arco tea also work well. You can drink or take the latter in pill form.
  
  

Medicines

• If your doctor is treating you, she may have you take nystatin. Nystatin comes in pill or powder form and is highly effective in treating systemic yeast. Doctors are not usually proponents of alternative medicine but do recommend probiotics at times.
  
  

Colonic Irrigation

• Colonic irrigation is recommended for people with systemic yeast, especially those that have auto immune diseases such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple chemical sensitivities or Chrohn's disease. A licensed colon hydrotherapist will usually administer the treatment. The process involves flushing the large intestines through a series of treatments, which helps to rid the body of yeast.
  
  The people who have the most success eliminating systemic yeast use a combination of a gluten-free diet, supplements and colonics. However, you may be able to forgo the colonic irrigation if your symptoms are less severe.
