There are many people who wonder about Candida tomato paste and how it goes 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 tomatoes by themselves are not bad when talking about Candida or yeast infections. They are actually a very healthy food to eat and help fight a fungal infection. The problem is when we start to get into the Candida tomato paste and other forms of tomato.
The first thing to keep in mind when talking about this topic is the shape of the tomato paste. Things like tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, and sweetened tomato paste are not what you want to eat if you’re trying to combat a Candida yeast infection. The reason this is true is because of the amount of sugars each contains. The Candida fungus thrives on sugar, so you want to make sure your Candida tomato paste doesn’t contain a lot of sugar, and preferably none at all.
The second thing to look at is what your carb intake has been for that specific day as well. If you’ve already eaten 200-300 carbs that day, you should completely avoid tomato and tomato paste, and especially spaghetti sauce and ketchup. If you’ve only had 50 to 100 carbs, you might be able to get away with eating tomato paste.
Honestly, until you’ve cured yourself of the fungus, it’s best to avoid tomato paste altogether. Candida tomato paste is not a good match if you haven’t gotten the fungus to thrive in your body. Especially if you are within the first 2 to 4 weeks of a cleansing diet.
