Getting rid of a yeast infection in the intestines is not as simple as treating a vaginal candida infection. With a vaginal yeast infection you can purchase an OTC anti yeast cream, and then in a high percentage of cases the Candida is gone for good. When you suffer with Candida in your intestines anti fungal oral medicines can make your infection worse.
Most sufferers of intestinal yeast infections head straight for an oral anti fungal drug to treat the problem. The trouble with oral anti fungal medicines is these powerful pills kill all of the bacteria in your intestines, and they can also weaken your immune system.
When an oral anti fungal drug wipes out every single bacteria in your intestines it creates an environment that is a perfect place for bacteria and yeasts to start mutating. This mutating yeast is what is causing your symptoms, so an anti fungal drug will only make your symptoms worse.
Your intestines should be populated with friendly bacteria to help fight off the mutating Candida. If the balance gets too far in favor of the Candidayeast then your infection becomes more difficult to successfully treat. If it's left long enough without the correct treatment your fungal infection can become systemic. This simply means it will get into your bloodstream, and start attacking your internal organs.
Your body also needs a strong immune system to help fight off the yeast infection. anti fungal drugs weaken the immune system so in the end you have a weaker immune system, and no friendly bacteria in your intestines. This is the reason why antibiotics are the biggest cause of yeast infections.
A fungal infection in your intestines needs be cured naturally, and alongside an anti yeast protocol. Even if you start treating your infection naturally, and you make mistakes with your diet or your medication, you won't kill the yeast.
If you're continually taking prescription drugs for an illness, and they have an effect on your immune system then your intestinal Candida infection will take longer to successfully treat. If you carry on eating a regular diet that contains foods that feed the mutated Candida then you won't cure yourself at all.
Curing yourself naturally, and correctly will destroy the Candida, encourage the re-growth of friendly bacteria in your intestines, and also allow the repair of damaged cells caused by the mutated yeast.
