If you take a look at the Candida symptoms list, you will find that it mimics many other health conditions. As a result, it often goes misdiagnosed for years. Having yeast or Candida overgrowth can have a negative impact on your day to day life. Patients feel tired or lethargic all the time; many have a thick white coating on the tongue, vaginal thrush, insomnia and, in some cases, severe hair loss and acne. Thankfully, there are proven ways to beat yeast infections and Candida overgrowth permanently. Let us take a look at these proven remedies.
1. Alkalize the saliva
One of the main signs that feature in Candida symptoms list is a salivary ph of less than 6.5. Normal human saliva ph is around 7.3 so one of the most important parts of Candida overgrowth diet treatment is to bring the salivary ph to an alkaline factor of around 7.1. The easiest way to do so is to take ¼ to ½ tsp of potassium citrate two times a day.

This will not only alkalize the body, it will kill inflammation, cure pimples, reduce indigestion and constipation and give you tremendous energy.
3. Baking soda
