Im not sure but I think blood
Sugar feeds systemic candida (diabetic people have many problems with yeast if they dont control very well his blood
Sugar levels):
"The risk of oral candidiasis among diabetics wearing dentures was significantly higher than among dentate diabetics (odds ratio = 4.78). After controlling for the effect of denture wearing, glycosylated haemoglobin greater than 12% remained highly predictive of oral yeast infection, particularly among diabetics without dentures"

also
"It has been reported that poor glycaemic control predisposes to oral candidal infection in diabetic patients"

This is why a low carb diet.. but pretty much improtant: LOW GI carbs because they dont raise blood
Sugar levels.
But Im not sure about candida in the gut... if you digest carbs correctly the only way candida can get sugar is through the controversial "pathogenic fungal form" & the
"rhizoids" that can penetrate the gut wall. But, again, if your blood levels are in a normal rangue (low carb-low gi carbs) ¿why your body, your inmune system, your good bacteria & yeast is unable to keep candida in check?
