Combat Yeast and Allergies

• 1

  Avoid all foods to which you are allergic. These foods actually can aggravate the yeast in the body, causing it to flare up and spread the symptoms. Avoid sugars, both in their natural state, such as fruit, and in a processed state; sugar feeds yeast and produces mucus. Eat a vegetarian diet, and drink plenty of water.

• 2

  Ingest probiotics on a daily basis. Purchase a probiotic supplement from a pharmacy, and take it as directed. Talk to your doctor if you feel you should take a higher dose than recommended. Eat at least three servings of yogurt daily in order to encourage the growth of good bacteria in the body that will ward off the yeast. Probiotics also will strengthen the immune system to aid in allergy relief.

• 3

  Use garlic supplements to fight the yeast overgrowth and to strengthen the immune system. Buy garlic supplements from a health food store or where herbal supplements are sold, and take as directed. Eating raw garlic is highly recommend as well, if you can stomach it.

• 4

  Talk to your doctor about taking prescription medications to kill the yeast in the body. Take a daily antihistamine to keep your allergies under control. Take a 24-hour antihistamine consistently to get the most effective result.
