Fructooligosaccharides are broken down by probiotic microorganisms (including some yeasts). During this breakdown, fatty acids are produced, which create unfavorable conditions for pathogenic cultures—therefore, it is beneficial to use these prebiotics in cases of yeast infections. Fruit is a debatable food group in the treatment of candidiasis. Generally, it is advisable to reduce the sugar content in the diet, particularly concerning ripe bananas and grapes (or berries) in relation to fruit. The fact is that some more acidic types of fruit are recommended in moderate amounts (e.g., once a day).
