Candidiasis: What is it?

A yeast-like fungal organism found in small amounts in the normal human intestinal tract. Normally kept in check by the body's own helpful bacteria, Candida albicans can increase in numbers when this balance is disturbed to cause candidiasis of the intestinal tract, or yeast infections of other parts of the body. There are 2 different levels of a Candida infestation:

The first, Mucocutaneous Candidiasis and milder level causes infections of the mucous membranes ( ie: Infections of the mouth and tongue, vagina, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract). This level of infection is more common and thought to affect the "surface" or outer parts of the body more, ie; not as deeply entrenched.

The second, Disseminated Candidiasis (also called systemic candidiasis) is a much stronger level of infestation and involves Candida in the bloodstream and infecting the organs of the body. This second type can be dangerous and even life-threatening. The longer Candida has infested a body the better chance it has gone through to the deeper levels.

What are the symptoms?

Vaginal Yeast Infection
Constant fatigue
Brain "fog" -hard to focus or even think straight.
Oral Thrush (a white film on tongue or in the mouth)
Bad breath, foul taste in mouth
Abdominal pain (intestinal Candida)
Bloating and indigestion
Diarrhea and/or colitis (chronic constipation)
Increasing allergies to foods (gluten or celiac problems can be a direct result of Candida overgrowth)
Constant craving for something sweet!
Joint pain with arthritis-like symptoms
Chronic sinus drainage
Weight gain (or loss) and the inability to change it.
Fungus on the finger or toe-nails
Urinary infections (again, not helped by antibiotics)
Itching, red eyes
Candida Skin rashes on the body (eczema, atopic dermatitis)
Candida Rash inside the ears or around the groin area
Anal, penile or vaginal itching
Diminished sex drive
Hair loss
Vision problems
Depression from feeling so low and bogged down all the time
