If you are looking to follow a yeast free diet or are focused on a candida diet detox, then you are going to need to follow some directions but also have the strong will power it will take to avoid some foods to rid your symptoms.  Untreated candida overgrowth can affect your immune system where if you are constantly eating foods that you negatively react to, your endocrine system (and all immune system components) will become stressed, exhausted and depleted. One of the main points of eating yeast free is to boost your immune system and start to feel better and healthier, and most important of all, symptom free!!

What happens when you continue to eat the foods that are harming you and making you suffer, is you are actually providing a feeding ground for the yeast that is in your body (that you are trying to get rid of).  Avoiding foods that contain yeast for approximately two to six weeks will be enough time to rid your body of the yeast toxins.  Don't be surprised that even after the third or fourth day, you will be feeling lighter and healthier and even craving less sugars and carbohydrates.  Some people who suffer from candidiasis actually have an addiction similar to that of an alcoholic's addiction to alcohol. 

It is really like anything that you are trying to quit or avoid.  You need the willpower and the self control and the want to change your habits and your way of life.  If you eat a lot of yeast foods like breads, moldy products like most cheeses, mushrooms, vinegar products like mayonnaise and mustard, nuts and the number one culprit, sugar foods like chocolate, syrup, and even fruits, then avoiding those foods for a candida diet detox will be challenging at first.  Staying motivated and having the willpower to want to live symptom free and healthier is what you will have to focus on each and every day.
