Loading... Candida and Yeast Intolerance - A Solution?
Candida is a condition caused when the balance of candida yeast bacteria and other bacteria is your system gets out of balance and often occur when your immune systems is compromised. Candida often manifests itself as thrush, athlete’s foot, or jock itch but may also cause a variety of other symptoms including headache, migraine, moodiness, memory problems, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, flatulence, weight gain, fluid retention and hormone imbalances, and susceptibility to colds, viruses and mouth uclers. The symptoms often vary from day to day as well.
We all have candida bacteria in our gut - the problem is when the yeast bacteria grow out of control. Many things can trigger this including a course of antibiotics (which kill a lot of the good and bad bacteria in our system), stress, a weakened immune system, hormonal changes (like pregnancy or taking the contraceptive pill).
Candida is an extremely common infection, which may affect up to 75% of the population at some point in their lives.
Although clinical testing is available it is often inconclusive. Your history of yeast infections or thrush is usually the best indicator.
A combination of a yeast free diet, anti fungal medication, and probiotic bacteria (to bring the other bacteria in your gut back to balance) is often required to bring the candida under control. Having a truly yeast free diet is a real challenge because so many foods and beverages have ‘hidden’ yeast.
Another program that I have seen and may well work for you is a natural cure for yeast infection. You can read about it here: Natural Cure for Yeast Infection
