[S1212]Symptoms Of Candida Infection

by Jennifer King, Jen

Without realizing it, thousands of men and women suffer from intestinal yeast overgrowth. What starts off as some indigestion and gas can escalate into something a lot harder to cure. If left untreated for long enough an intestinal yeast infection can ( in extreme cases ) leave you bedridden.
A yeast infection in your intestines, at first, will just seem like a bout of indigestion and gas. To stop the indigestion most people attempt to cure their symptoms with antacids and indigestion remedies. This approach to curing the real problem is only masking it, and is in fact making it worse.
Your stomach needs hydrochloric acid to digest your food properly, and stop any bacteria that are not suppose to make it's way into your intestines. Indigestion remedies just help the bacteria survive and make their way to your intestines, and this then makes your yeast overgrowth worse.
The Candida Albicans yeast will breed faster than it has ever done when you're neutralizing your stomach acid. Once the Candida fungus starts to flourish in the intestines this then causes infections on other parts of your body. The Candida in your intestines will find its way to your vagina through your digestive and urinary tracts, and then set up home there. Vaginal yeast infections effect 75% of women at least once in their life for this reason.
The Candida in your intestines will feed off of the food you eat, and feed on the walls of your intestines. Toxins and Candida will enter your bloodstream once the walls of your intestines have been perforated. As well as these toxins, small food particles will also enter your bloodstream. With all these things entering your bloodstream it will have an effect on other parts of your body.
What started off as some indigestion and gas will now escalate into
Lethargy Aching muscles and joints Recurrent/chronic vaginal Candida infections Concentration problems Mood swings Brain fog Skin disorders Toxic liver Food allergies And many more symptoms
There are no drugs that are available to treat a fungal infection of the intestines. Any drugs that are available such as anti fungals will only make your yeast infection worse. They do this by killing the friendly bacteria in your intestines, and the drugs also suppress your immune system. Your immune system needs to be strong, and you need a healthy population of friendly bacteria to prevent any Candida mutating in your digestive tract.
Treating your intestinal Candida infection as soon as possible with a natural treatment can stop you suffering from all of the symptoms that can make your life unpleasant. Your immune system is strengthened, and your intestinal flora is re-balanced when you treat yourself without any drugs.

Candida infection is one of the most common diseases mostly because of our food habits and and way of living. Physicians and experts have agreed for some time now that candida infections has a lot to do with overweight. Studies have shown that 75% of overweight people are also suffering from candida. If you come to term with your candida infection, you can also help your overweight.
So what are the symptoms of an candida infection?
Discomfort during urination is a common one, along with recurring vaginal and skin yeast infections. To have digestion problems and bloating, usually comes with an candida infection, an symptom that can be really uncomfortable and irritating. Some really scary symptoms I myself suffered from was dizziness an tiredness, a symptom that is quite unspecific. I went several times to the doctor's because of those symptoms, and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. I thought I had everything from migraine to a brain tumour. Not nice to feel like a neurotic hypochondriac, but as soon i started the candida cleanse I realized that this was what had caused the fatigue. I haven't suffered from it since.

Once you start to cure your candida infection, with diet and medication, the symptoms can occur even more intensely for some days, and you can be extremely tired. This normally disappears after a few days, but since it's extremely energy consuming, it can be a good idea to not have too much scheduled during the start of your candida cure. Remember that in the end you will feel much better and will regain your energy.

Candida grows from the intestines as a normal part of the bacterial flora, but when overgrowth starts, it affects the whole immune system and can really effect your life fundamentally, with thrush fungal infections and more. Many women get outbreaks of thrush during menstruation because candida grows in progesterone.

You can really suffer from it, with fatigue or recurring yeast infections that are a real discomfort. The symptoms can be treated with traditional over the counter drugs, but that means that the intestinal candida itself is not cured, and the symptoms and discomfort are going to appear again after some time.

Besides from the symptoms above, candida can be diagnosed with blood test by a physician.

When you know it's candida you suffer from, start with a treatment that will cure the root cause of it. A sugar and fungus free diet is the most effective way to kill the candida infection permanently. It's also important to take supplemental herbs for a complete result. Garlic is one of those, pure vitamin-c and psyllium seeds will clean the intestines and push the yeast out of your body. There are some really effective ways of treating candida infections, and you truly can be free of all those irritating and energy draining symptoms and get you a healthier, more energetic life, you really don't have to suffer!
