Can you eat yogurt on the candida diet?

The Candida diet is a restrictive diet that aims to eliminate foods that feed the growth of Candida, a type of yeast that is naturally present in the body. Yogurt contains live cultures of bacteria, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are considered to be probiotics. While probiotics are generally beneficial for gut health, they can potentially feed Candida and lead to an overgrowth of the yeast in the body.

Additionally, yogurt is a dairy product, and dairy products are often eliminated on the Candida diet because they can contribute to inflammation and feed the growth of Candida.

Therefore, yogurt is not recommended on the Candida diet.
