Either way.

It makes more sense to limit sugar in the diet and take lactobacillus and acidophilus on their own, not in a sugary food. Candida can show up anywhere, but usually isn't a problem for people with healthy immune systems, unless they've been on a broad spectrum antibiotic. Further use of antibiotics (even tea tree oil) continues to kill both the candida and the beneficial bacteria. To really solve the problem (of recurring infection) you need to rebuild intestinal flora and starve out the fungus. There are several different versions of a Candida Diet (or anti-candida) out there. Google for info.
