Candida Symptoms
Candida overgrowth can cause a wide variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms, including “foggy” thinking, chronic tiredness, vaginal yeast infections, rashes and sugar cravings.
Systemic yeast overgrowth can significantly degrade the quality of your life. Symptoms range from being very mild to severe – depending on a case by case basis.
- constant fatigue
- recurring vaginal infections
- rashes – skin, mouth, sexual organs
- flu-like symptoms
- poor digestion – constipation or diarrhea, bloating…
- headaches
- depression or anxiety
- problems with concentration, dizziness
- sugar cravings
- food allergies
- foggy brain
Signs of Candida infection can be seen both locally and systemically. Systemic chronic candidiasis can be particularly stubborn and difficult to cure permanently.
Most symptoms can be traced back to what happens in your intestines. A healthy person with strong immunity and proper elimination system has plenty of friendly bacteria (such as Lactobacillus acidophilus) available in the gut to ward off occasional yeast overgrowths and other imbalances. On the other hand, individuals with candidiasis often don’t have enough of those healthy bugs to keep Candida in check, which further deteriorates their symptoms.
What’s worse, many conventional physicians still deny the existence of Candida yeast infection and are clueless about how to treat it.
Yeast and its toxins
According to Dr. Mercola, the cells of Candida albicans produce 79 toxins that can negatively affect our health and well-being. “Two of these toxins, alcohol and acetaldehyde, are in such high amounts in people with chronic yeast problems that you may actually end up feeling drunk,” he explains.
There are over 70 distinct toxins released by the metabolism of Candida.
As a result, your body has to deal with an unhealthy domino effect.
Acetaldehyde in particular is a very potent toxin that reacts with the neurotransmitter dopamine, damages tissues in the body, and blocks the attachment of oxygen to red blood cells. In fact, a 2009 German study has showed that excess acetaldehyde may be an overlooked risk factor for cancer.
It’s important to realize that Candida are not just the rashes and pesky vaginitis – it’s an overall state of the body. This usually requires complex, holistic approach to treatment that addresses the root cause of the condition.
Fortunately, more information is coming to light on Candida infections and, over time, this may result in greater understanding of yeast overgrowth and more effective treatment for Candida sufferers.
