A Little Background on Chronic Candidiasis

Chronic Candidiasis is a condition wherein there is an overgrowth of Candida Albicans in the gastrointestinal tract. These fungi are usually benign but it is the actual cause of Chronic Candidiasis.

This condition is caused by any of the following:

Antibiotics Usage

If you are taking antibiotics for treatment of certain illness, chances are the balance of flora bacteria inside your body is compromised. These antibiotics are usually taken whenever you have sore-throat, ear infection and even sinus infection. Being under medication with antibiotic can greatly affect the intestines. Antibiotics can take out good bacteria, and when good bacteria are lower, chances are yeast will take over inside the body.

Stress

If you are feeling stressed out whether emotionally or physically, then your immune system will greatly be affected by it. Weaker immune system opens the opportunities for infection to settle inside the body. It is important to maintain a positive outlook in life and not to allow stress take over your life.

Alcoholic substance abuse

Alcohol is yeast's best friend; too much alcohol can kill good bacteria inside your body. Alcohol contains sugar and it is a fact that yeast thrives on sugar as well as carbohydrates. Alcohol is considered as the most refined sugar we can get inside the body.

Artificial birth control substance

There are more women who suffer from Chronic Candidiasis, because women use birth control pills and not men. Also the actual amount of estrogen and progesterone inside the women's body create an environment which is very much conducive for yeast production.

If you are suffering from Chronic Candidiasis, you may be familiar with any of the symptoms:

  • Diarrhea
  • chronic gas
  • abdominal cramps
  • Bloated Abdomen
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Inflamed Bowel Disease
  • Frequent urination or UTI
  • Rectal Itching
  • White tongue coating
  • Swollen lips or face
  • Panic attacks
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Auto-immune disorders
  • Indigestion
  • Heartburn
  • Bad breath
  • Chemical Sensitivities
  • Dizziness

To keep the infection under control, a person affected by the disease should be cautious of his or her diet. There are several kinds of foods which are not allowed for people suffering from Chronic Candidiasis. It is also best to seek professional help in order to diagnos and help to cure the infection immediately.

Doctors would normally advise to go on strict diets and would recommend other anti-fungal supplements. This could the infection immediately and would not further complicate the health condition.
