Greetings! Eric Bakker, naturopath from New Zealand, author of Candida Crusher back to you again. We’re going to talk about Citrobacter, but this time best foods and diet for Citrobacter. I want you to think of Citrobacter just like any other kind of unwanted overgrowth in your body like you would with Candida or a yeast infection or a different kind of yeast that you’ve got in your body.
There are many different types of bacteria that we have in our digestive system. Some can get the upper hand. Ones like Citrobacter. Candida will live normally in the digestive system of many people, but again, it can get the upper hand so we’re trying to restore harmony in the gut. We’re trying to get the numbers down. We’re trying to get balance occurring here.
With Citrobacter, I want you to treat it exactly how you would a Candida yeast infection. You need to take the sugars out of the diet and the high yeast foods out of the diet. You need to really understand that you need to chew food properly and poo food properly. It’s got to go in well and it’s got to go out well. Very important concept. You need to take the high sugary fruits out of the diet. You need to cut all the crap out of your diet, which you already know you should anyway. Soda drinks. Coffee. Tea. Sugary foods. I mentioned coffee and tea. Initially up front if you’ve got a serious gut problem, you may want to take caffeine out or cut it right back for a short period of time until that improves. Because caffeine does affect the gut. Sugar especially in all shapes and forms is no good for Citrobacter.
Citrobacter loves stuff like FOS, so fructooligosaccharides and these prebiotic sugars that you find in probiotics, they’re no good for this problem. If you’re currently taking a probiotic that’s got any kind of sugars in it, dump it. If you’re eating candy, chocolates, or ice cream or if you’re eating any kind of food with added sugar, dump it. Bacteria love sugar. They absolutely thrive on sugar. We’re talking molasses. We’re talking honey. We’re talking maple syrup. We’re talking palm sugar. We’re talking all these kinds of sugars, malt extract, all of these things. Get rid of them out of your diet. You don’t need all this junk in your diet.
When you live without sugar for a while like that, you’ll find the bacteria won’t be too happy because they’ll really be hunting around for food and that’s a good time to start tackling the Citrobacter. Countering it, inhibiting it, and destroying the overgrowth is a really smart move at the same time that you’re withdrawing these foods for the bacteria out of the diet. Makes a lot of sense. Also smart is to take some good probiotics and some digestive enzymes, particularly the enzymes to increase the digestive capacity to break foods down more, give you good energy levels. Metabolize foods better. Makes a lot of sense.
Really good upper GI digestion with enzymes and middle GI digestion, i.e., stomach and pancreas will mean a hell of a lot better bowel function, which will be less bloating, less gas, less problem with this bacteria really growing.
Eat smart. You know the kind of foods you need to eat. I’ve spoken a lot about the MEVY diet in my videos, meat, eggs, vegetables, yogurt. You may not be able to tolerate yogurt initially, but over time, you will, especially a Greek yogurt or a good sour yogurt culture. For you people in America, check your labels properly because even the healthy yogurts are loaded with sugar. Very, very good advice for you. Fermented and cultured foods. Try to add some of these into your diet if you’ve got Citrobacter overgrowth. That goes the same with parasites or a yeast infection.
