There is a lot of people out there wondering about Candida tomato paste and how they go together. Many diets tell you that you can eat tomato paste, and the next diet will tell you that you can’t. So what is the truth about Candida tomato paste?
First, we need to realize that tomato’s themselves are not bad when talking about Candida or yeast infections. They are actually a very healthy food to eat and help when fighting a yeast infection. The problem is when we start getting into Candida tomato paste and other forms of tomato’s.
The first thing we need to look at when talking about this subject is the form of the tomato paste. Things such as ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and sweetened tomato paste are not what you want to be eating if you are trying to fight a Candida yeast infection. The reason this is true is because of the amount of sugars contained in each. The Candida fungus thrives on sugar, so you want to make sure that your Candida tomato paste doesn’t contain much sugar, and preferably none at all.
The second thing we need to look at is what your carbohydrate intake has been for that specific day as well. If you have already eaten 200 to 300 carbohydrates that day, then you should completely avoid tomato’s and tomato paste, and especially spaghetti sauce and ketchup. If you have only had 50 to 100 carbohydrates, you may be able to get away with eating tomato paste.
Honestly, until you have cured yourself of the fungus, it is best to completely avoid tomato paste. Candida tomato paste is not a good combination if you haven’t gotten the fungus to a point where it is not running wild in your body. Especially if you are within the first 2 – 4 weeks of a cleansing diet.
