This is done by consuming adequate fiber. Dietary fiber also promotes the growth of the beneficial lactic-acid bacteria. When these good bacteria are in adequate numbers, they will inhibit the growth of yeasts. If you find that it is a strain to move your bowels, you are probably consuming too little fiber and too little water. You don't need to dramatically change your diet to improve your health.

Red meat, chlorinated and fluoridated water, alcoholic beverages, and refined foods can all decrease the numbers of beneficial bacteria and increase the ability of yeast to take over the intestinal tract. Many drugs can impair proper digestion, effect the proper use of many nutrients, and inhibit the growth of protective, beneficial lactic-acid bacteria. There are three major supplements that can assist in maintaining a healthy intestinal tract and limit the growth of yeasts. The lactic acid bacteria should be refrigerated and packaged in glass bottles. Freeze dried capsules and powder appear to work best.
