Author's note
Greek Tzatziki is a very good anti-candida recipe for several reasons. Yoghurt contains acidophilus to restore your friendly bacteria. Garlic is a strong anti-fungal, as well as olive oil. Cucumber is a fresh vegetable, allowed in the anti-yeast diet. So you can fully enjoy this recipe... unless you are lactose intolerant... In this case, replace with goat yogurt!
