YEAST INFECTION, CANDIDA

Our bodies host a multitude of microorganisms, and one of them is a type of yeast called Candida albicans.

Our bodies regulate and maintain a proper balance among microorganisms which is one of the keys to good health.

Normally Candida’s purpose is to help with digestion and nutrient absorption.

Candida lives in a small amount in:

Mouth
Intestines
Vagina
Skin

Problems arise when Candida starts growing out of control and excessively invades different locations in the body. Candida could start breaking down the wall of the intestines and invades the bloodstream, where it releases toxic byproducts causing a long list of health problems.

YEAST INFECTION CAUSES

Reasons for Candida overgrowths could be:

Long-term antibiotic treatment
Diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugars
Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages
Silver amalgam fillings in your teeth
Chlorine and Fluoride exposure
Medications such as oral contraceptives and corticosteroids.

DIAGNOSING CANDIDA

To diagnose Candida overgrowth in the body we might need to perform specialized diagnostic testing for blood, stool, or urine.

CANDIDA TREATMENT

Candida has a tendency to burrow deeply into the intestinal wall, so treatment for candida might last several months to fully eliminate from the system.

Treatment for Candida might include diet change to low carbohydrates and eliminating refined sugars from your daily meal plans. We might also prescribe probiotics and natural herbal and antifungal medication to help you balance your gastrointestinal microflora.

WHAT CAN I DO TO AVOID CANDIDA OVERGROWTH?

Candida is greatly affected by the foods you eat and thrives in the high carbohydrate diet. You would need to revamp your diet to successfully treat Candida overgrowths and eliminate them from your system. Candida overgrowth treatment might include foods high in proteins and high-fiber vegetables. Eat moderately to low amounts of high carbohydrate vegetables and whole grains.

Try to eliminate all artificial sugars from your diet, and decrease your consumption of high fructose-containing fruits. You should also eliminate all packaged and processed foods, cheeses, mushrooms, and products containing baker’s and brewer’s yeast.

To prevent Candida overgrowth avoid taking antibiotics unnecessarily. If you have an infection and need to be treated with antibiotics, take probiotics during the treatment and for at least 3-4 weeks after the antibiotic treatment is finished.
