Is yogurt okay on a Candida diet?

Question: I've been reading over 2 different diets for Candida and one says to have yogurt and the other says not to. One says you can have lemons and limes and the other says not to. One say you can have carrots and the other says not to? Which diet should I go by? Do you have any reccommendations for a Candida diet, and what about the yogurt?

Answers:
The ingredient in yogurt that helps kill candida is called acidophilus. If you want to avoid the sugar of yogurt, you can buy acidophilus capsules that do wonders. Also, the real good yeast killer is a combination of acidophilus and bifidus. You can buy these at any health food store. I would advise staying away from the ones you can buy cheaply at the drug store or GNC. In this case it's true....you get what you pay for.

Other Answers:
As long as it doesn't have sugar it should be okay.
Foods to Eat

Vegetables (including plenty of raw garlic), protein foods (beef, chicken, eggs, fish), live yogurt cultures (both dairy and non-dairy,) FOS*, whey, acidophilus, green algae's (such as spirulina and chlorella), nuts, seeds and oils, and non-glutenous grains (like millet, rice, rice bran and oat bran).
* FOS, or Fructo-oligosaccharides, are nondigestible dietary fibers that help to keep the stomach and bowels healthy. FOS are considered a "prebiotic" because they nourish the naturally present "friendly" bacteria (especially Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli) which help to ward off infection in the digestive system.
Foods to Avoid

Aged cheeses, alcohol, chocolate, dried fruits, fresh fruits, fermented foods, mushrooms, vinegar, glutenous foods (wheat, rye, oats, barley), all sugars, honeys and syrups (that includes any 'ose', like lactose, sucrose etc), and foods that contain yeast or mold (breads, muffins, cakes, baked goods, cheese, dried fruits, melons, peanuts - although nutritional and brewer's yeasts are not harmful, as they do not colonize in the intestines).
