Waiting for your baby to arrive in the world is one of the most amazing things you can experience in life – unfortunately pregnancy can be far from comfortable! Not only can you experience morning sickness, restless nights, major mood changes and food cravings, you may also suffer from a yeast infection.
To tackle your yeast infection during pregnancy, you need to do what you would have to do if you weren’t pregnant. No, going to the Doctors and getting a prescription is not what you can do (and it will only treat symptoms anyway – not the underlying cause). You need to look at your diet – especially the fat content.
When we become pregnant our food cravings can make us eat everything and anything in sight – taking our fat intake too high in some cases, thus causing yeast infections. The problem with too much fat is that it is very hard to digest – it can take several hours and as a result will stay in the blood, rather than move along to our cells straight away. When we eat fruit or something with sugar it gets blocked from being absorbed from the blood to the cells because the fat is still there. Our blood sugar level becomes high because that sugar sits in our blood.
The Candida organism naturally grows in all of us and in some respects is a life-saving organism. It is when our blood sugar is high that the Candida organism eats at the sugar to bring the levels down. Eating the sugar makes the organism grow in population. If we constantly have a high diet of fat then this problem will keep occurring.
So as anyone should do with their diet, while you are pregnant be good about what you eat and cut down the fat. This will be much better for you and your baby anyway – and you can gain relief from symptoms and not have to worry about them coming back.
