Brief Answer: Candida is a normal skin resident of humans Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX, Thanks for consulting us. Let me tell you one fact. Candida is a normal resident of our skin. That means, we all carry it on our body. When our immunity is some how disturbed ( by for e.g. antibiotics, pregnancy, any other infection, Diabetes, HIV, or other chronic diseases) it overgrows, other resident organisms & exhibit it's presence as thrush. This is one of the commonest infection seen in pregnancy & also oral thrush is quite common in young children. Thrush or Candida infection can easily be treated by Antifungal drugs. For oral thrush Anti-fungal drops are used & they are highly effective. No preventive medications or diets can be recommended, only the above mentioned conditions which predispose to Candida should be avoided if possible. You can't eradicate it from your body as it is a normal resident of human body. Hope I have provided you with the desired information. Please write back if you need any further help. Wish you all the best. Take care.
