Foods to Avoid with Aspergillus

People with Aspergillus, a type of fungus, must take special care when it comes to their diet. Eating certain foods can worsen the symptoms of Aspergillus and even cause serious health complications. It is important to be aware of which foods and drinks to avoid if you have Aspergillus.

Moldy Foods

Foods that are moldy or contain mold should be avoided if you have Aspergillus. This includes foods like blue cheese, aged meats, and sourdough bread. Moldy fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, should also be avoided. If you have Aspergillus, it is best to inspect all foods before eating them to make sure they are free from mold.

Fermented Foods

Fermented foods, such as beer, wine, and pickled vegetables, should be avoided if you have Aspergillus. These foods contain high levels of yeast and mold, which can worsen the symptoms of Aspergillus.

Refined Sugars

Refined sugars, such as white sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup, can feed the growth of Aspergillus. It is best to avoid these types of sugars if you have Aspergillus. Instead, opt for natural sweeteners, such as honey and maple syrup.

Unpasteurized Juices and Milk

Unpasteurized juices and milk can contain high levels of bacteria, which can worsen the symptoms of Aspergillus. It is best to avoid these foods and drinks if you have Aspergillus. Look for pasteurized or canned versions of these foods and drinks instead.

Processed Meats

Processed meats, such as hot dogs, bacon, and deli meats, can contain high levels of salt, which can worsen the symptoms of Aspergillus. It is best to avoid these types of meats if you have Aspergillus. Choose fresh meats, such as chicken, fish, and steak, instead.

Eating a healthy, balanced diet is important for anyone with Aspergillus. While there are some foods to avoid, there are also many foods that are safe to eat. Be sure to speak with a healthcare professional for more information on which foods and drinks to avoid if you have Aspergillus.

"I just found out I have Aspergillus in my lungs, what foods should I avoid?"

It is important to avoid any food items that have been stored in damp or humid environments, as they are particularly likely to contain the Aspergillus mold. Additionally, it is best to avoid foods that have been stored at room temperature for an extended period of time, as this increases the chance of mold growth. Additionally, avoid any food products that have visible mold on them, as well as any foods that have a musty or moldy odor. Additionally, it is best to avoid fermented foods, such as cheese, soy sauce, and sauerkraut, as these can also contain the Aspergillus mold. Finally, it is best to avoid any foods that are past their expiration date, as these are also likely to contain the Aspergillus mold.
