Is Buttermilk Good On Candida Diet?

Can you have buttermilk on candida diet? Is buttermilk good on candida diet? Can you have buttermilk if you have candida?

Greetings. Eric Bakker, naturopath from New Zealand, author of Candida Crusher and formulator of the Canxida range of dietary supplements. I've got a question today from a patient over in Japan. I get a few questions from Japanese people about buttermilk. This person wants to know if buttermilk is any good for someone with a Candida yeast infection.

Buttermilk is a very good product. Traditionally, it used to be milk that was left over after cheese making. But today, it's actually not. It's actually almost like a milk produced a bit like yogurt is. They'll add bacteria or maybe lactic acid to it to give it like a sour kind of flavor. Buttermilk is actually very good to have. Just bear in mind if you've got a milk allergy, it may be a problem because it will still contain the beta casein protein in it, and that can affect your immune system. If you have a milk allergy like me, then it's probably not really a good idea to have buttermilk in your diet.

If you don't have a milk allergy, however, there's nothing wrong with having some buttermilk in your diet from time to time, because it's quite a healthy food to have. It's got a nice tangy flavor about it. And again, common sense. If you've got a bad yeast infection, you need to avoid dairy products for quite a while because they can really challenge your immune system. Just take these foods out initially for the first month or so.

The low allergy diet or phase two of my Candida diet includes the removal of cow's milk from the diet and usually yogurt as well. If you've got a major allergy for dairy products, then you want to take out cow's milk, yogurt, cream, and these sorts of things from your diet. Butter is generally always fine. I've never seen butter allergies. You need to be cautious with cheese, too, if you've got a strong cow's milk allergy. If you know you've got an allergy toward cow's milk or dairy, avoid buttermilk. If you don't have it, you can incorporate small amounts into your diet.

However, to be safe as you're going through the stages of the Candida Crusher diet, the first stage is the MEVY diet, the meat, eggs, vegetables, and yogurt. The second stage is the low allergy diet and I usually take out things like buttermilk, cream, a lot of cheeses from the diet for a month or so, four to six weeks to allow the immune system a bit of breathing space. Because many people with Candida, in fact, have got leaky gut syndrome and buttermilk will not be good for people trying to recover from leaky gut.

Yes, it is a good food. But you need to be cautious with it. If you know you've got an allergy, avoid it. Otherwise, incorporate small amounts into your diet and see how you go. I hope that answers your question.

Last thing I'll leave you with is buttermilk does have almost as good as yogurt a beneficial effect on the intestinal tract for encouraging the proliferation of good bacteria, especially if it's an organic buttermilk or one that's certified organic or biodynamic and made using the correct organic methods, it's beneficial.

Our gut micro biome is so incredibly unique, as is our therapies to restore good health. For me, buttermilk was my saving grace in the case of leaky gut. It's stopped the pains, diminished the bloating, and helped me to finally lose weight after suffering for years. For some, it may cause unpleasant reactions. For me, it's been the healing element I've been searching for! Wishing everyone healing, however it is obtained!
