Before beginning probiotics or a heavy metal detox to treat autism, many researchers suggest starting with a candida cleanse. A candida cleanse, often referred to as the candida diet, is a method that reduces levels of the candida albicans yeast, a bacteria which is naturally present in the body in places such as the mouth and intestinal tract. But the potentially-harmful yeast can grow out of control if you have a weakened immune system or frequently take antibiotics, and lead to a variety of disorders, including headaches, allergies and mood swings, among others.

The candida diet is characterized by cutting off refined sugar for at least a week, and restricting the intake of carbohydrates and fermented foods, all of which encourage the growth of the yeast. Researchers also suggest eating yogurt during the diet, because it is a good source of lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacteria that helps with immunity to cadida albicans.

The candida cleanse is suggested to be done about twice a year, for a length determined by the severity of the condition. People with higher levels of the yeast in their systems should stay on the diet for longer, while those with lower levels only need to maintain it for a short amount of time. The diet should restore health to the digestive tract, allow it to better absorb nutrition, and prepare it for treatments such as the heavy metal detox.
