My recipes here on Yeast Free Living contain all vegetables allowed on the candida diet. This includes those vegetables which most candida diet guidelines suggest should be eaten in moderation. Although I have fared pretty well keeping these vegetables in my diet without exacerbating my candidiasis symptoms, I realize that some candida dieters may not be this lucky. Consuming potatoes, carrots, corn and other high carbohydrate starchy vegetables can sometimes trigger the same candidiasis symptoms that consuming sugar would produce. This often occurs because vegetables that contain high amounts of starch or carbohydrates contain large amounts of glucose units. Our bodies quickly convert these glucose units into sugar and they are then absorbed into the bloodstream. So in a roundabout way we are still feeding the candida when we consume these vegetables. This is why it is important for many candida dieters, especially in the beginning of the diet, to stick with non-starchy low carbohydrate vegetables. The following are several vegetables that are ideal for consuming on a yeast free diet, as they contain few carbohydrates can be eaten freely.
