CANDIDA YEAST OVERGROWTH
We all have yeast in our intestines, but for some at risk, it overgrows & makes them feel sick. When these people eat bread, pasta, or other high carbohydrate foods, they can feel sluggish & depressed, but there is alot that you can do to fight it.
Fungal overgrowth in the intestines can be associated with: depression, inability to concentrate, anxiety, and fatigue...
Candida albicans is a parasitic fungus that is normally found in the human gastrointestinal and genital tracts. A Candida infection occurs when the yeast is allowed to overgrow, or spread to other areas of the body. People with Candida overgrowth typically feel fatigued and have trouble concentrating; Both of these symptoms are caused by the toxins produced by the yeast, which are easily absorbed through the intestinal lining. You can ask your practitioner to do a test for this toxin to make a diagnosis.
Symptoms of Candidiasis
Apart from the above test, a definitive diagnosis of candidiasis is difficult because the symptoms can be non-specific and can vary depending on the part of the body that is involved. For example, Candida can cause: headaches, fatigue, rashes, athlete's foot, itching, tingling or burning sensations, memory loss, joint and muscle pain, constipation or diarrhea, PMS prostatitis, and even diabetes or hypothyroidism. The symptoms may be worse in damp or mouldy places. They may also worsen after consuming high-sugar or yeast-based foods. Visually, a topical (skin or mucous membrane) candida infection appears as white patches that may grow together. The skin surrounding the spots is very irritated and red. There may be a white, curd-like discharge with a yeasty smell. Many of the symptoms of gastrointestinal candidiasis mimic those of Leaky Gut Syndrome, and these two conditions can often co-exist.

Conventional Treatment
Conventional treatment of candida involves antifungal agents applied topically or taken orally. These medications take care of the current infection but do not address the root cause of why the infection occurred in the first place. Candida often returns and eventually the strains become drug resistant.
Treating with Food
Dietary therapy depends upon the severity of the condition. It is aimed at starving out the yeast by removing its food source, sugar.
What you can do to help fight candida
- EAT MORE VEGETABLES & PROTEIN, BUT LESS CARBS
- DO COLON CLEANSES
- TAKE ACIDOPHILUS DAILY
- TAKE ANTIFUNGAL SUPPLEMENTS LIKE CAPRYLIC ACID, GARLIC, OREGANO, AND GRAPEFRUIT SEED
- DON'T DRINK COFFEE
- CUT BACK ON BEVERAGES WITH HIGH SUGAR CONTENT
- GET AN ELISA ACT TEST FROM YOUR PRACTITIONER TO MAKE AN EXACT DIAGNOSIS
- TREAT ANY UNDERLYING HEALTH CONCERNS
Did you know?
- Candida is often misdiagnosed as simple depression
- Yeast cells multiply at an alarming rate
- Candida gives your cravings
The most severe dietary restrictions involve a total elimination of all sugar, yeast and fungal products from the diet. This includes: fruit, aged cheese, alcohol, baked goods (including bread), chocolate, fermented foods, gluten containing grains, ham, honey and all sweeteners, nut butters, potatoes, mushrooms, soy sauce, sprouts and vinegar.
Less severe cases restrict all of the above-mentioned products for a short period of time, and then allow some products back into the diet. Vegetables, fish and gluten free grains are the bulk of the diet. Fresh, live yogurt or other products containing live bacterial cultures can be added at a later time.
