One is taking antibiotics. Antibiotics are intended to reduce certain populations of bacteria (the 'bad guys'). But, those antibiotics will often have unintended consequences ? they kill off large numbers of healthy flora (the 'good guys') as well. Once an imbalance is established, it is a challenge for the body to reestablish a healthy bowel flora balance.
Also there is a connection to acidity, the acid-alkaline (or pH) balance of your blood. Food and drink greatly affect your pH balance. Most fresh vegetables and fruits are alkaline. Pretty much everything else is acidic ? all meats, fats and most grains, and most cooked fruits, vegetables and grains. Bottom line: try to eat more raw and fresh food.
A key way to reduce acidity is to drink plenty of water. Here's a little-known secret: alkaline ionized water. It's one of the best ways to alkalize your body! It's simple, fast, and cheap! So consider investing in a water ionizer.
Major factor: eat less sugar. It is very acidifying to your body, and making your body acidic allows candida and the other 'bad guys' to explode! And you need to do everything in your power to reduce acidity because the very toxins that the 'bad guys' produce also acidify your body. So you need to get them under control. As you can see, not only is less sugar good for you in so many ways you are already aware of, one more reason is to actually make your body a less inviting place for candida to live. By the way, alcohol is a highly refined form of sugar. Add to that highly refined food like white bread, white rice, pasta and any kind of noodles, and tortillas, and any kind of junk food can be added to the list of things that cause acidity and encourage bowel dysbiosis. And don't forget dairy products; they are highly acidic, too.
Hormones In Control
Your hormones become imbalanced when you have higher levels of the 'bad guys'. This has been found to cause cravings. The 'bad guys' are literally running your life! Since they thrive on sugar, they send your body chemical signals to 'bring us sugar!' If you think you're in control, think again.
However, when your body starts to respond to the positive changes you're making, your cravings will diminish and may even disappear altogether! And, when you correct candida issues, you're correcting the other flora imbalances as well. Healthy populations of the good flora are getting established that will keep the bad flora in check. And what you're doing to reduce candida will greatly reduce the populations of many other of the 'bad guys' at the same time.
Best of all ? weight loss gets easier! Yep, as you reduce acidity, your cells tend to let go of fat a lot easier! Actually they were using it like a defense against the body's toxins. So, you remove the toxins, your cells lower their defenses.
Recurrent Candida infections are now destroying the health of 5% of women worldwide. If you're suffering from recurrent yeast infections I can assure you that you're not alone in your suffering. The good news is there is a distinct reason for your recurrent Candida infections, and when you have discovered this you can successfully treat your infection naturally.
OTC anti fungal products
OTC anti fungal products are a major reason for recurrent Candida infections. Large numbers of women, everyday, are buying these products when they have no reason to use them. A lot of women are under the impression that these anti Candida products can be used to prevent a Candida infection, and this could not be any further from the truth.
When you apply an over the counter anti fungal medication it will cause the harmless Candida Albicans yeast inside your vagina to mutate into a fungus. It transforms to protect itself from the OTC treatment that is applied to wipe it out. Apart from the side effects of these products they are safe to apply for one week to treat a yeast infection, the Candida has no time to mutate and end up resistant to the OTC treatment.
this mutating happens when the OTC treatment is over used for no reason that the Candida mutates, becomes resistant, and then causes chronic Candida infections that become apparently impossible to treat. And as more cream is applied to try and treat your recurring Candida infections the mutated Candida is further adapting to the environment.
Oral anti fungals and yeastZCandida infections
Oral anti fungals are the predominant reason for recurrent Candida infections. Like over the counter creams, they cause the Candida to mutate in its battle against a drug that is forever trying to kill it. As well as wiping out the fungus and bacteria that the oral anti fungals are intended for, the antibiotics kill all of the friendly bacteria that are a piece of your body's natural defences against yeast infections.
Antibiotics also weaken your body's cells, and this causes complications like a weakened immune system which is also one of your systems shields against infections.
Underlying illness
Another reason for your recurrent Candida infections may be an underlying health condition. This is why it's very important that you go and see your doctor when you first suspect any reoccurrence of your Candida infection. Diabetes and the HIV/AIDS virus are a couple health conditions that are responsible for recurrent Candida infections.
If you're suffering from diabetes you will be able to get it under control with the correct medication, then you can work on successfully treating yourself.
If you're suffering from AIDS/HIV then you will almost certainly be on permanent medication because of the fact that your immune system will be too low to fight of the Candida.
Chronic yeast infections cures
If you have the misfortune of recurrent Candida infections, and you think that you're never going to treat yourself you do still have choices of treatments left. And these choices have helped tens of thousands of men and women eliminate from their bodies the mutated Candida so they can continue their lives in good health.
