Candida is a common disease in our western society, and many people
might not even be aware that they are carrying an intestinal yeast
infection. It's said that 75% of the overweight people are also
suffering from candida, that has been fed for years by a poor diet
with lots of sugar and processed wheat products (pastries, cup
cakes , snacks; all of that high cholesterol junk food). So what are
the symptoms and how can you be sure that it's candida? Well, to
begin with, candida infection can be established by a simple blood
test by a physician. There are several symptoms that come with
candida, and if you are having some of them, often in combination
with the most commons symptoms (irritable bowel; you get bloated and
tired when you are eating sugar, wheat, potato, bread and drinking
alcohol. Heavy sugar cravings are also common), you can be quite sure
it's candida you are having.
So what are all the different symptoms, then? To speak from my own
experience first, except for all the symptoms above with eating, I
used to have rashes on my hands that got very bad from time to time.
I had a lot of recurring vaginal yeast infections. My skin itched a
lot, especially in the face. I was very dizzy in periods, with
fatigue and extreme tiredness. I did a lot of visits to the doctors
because of this, but they could never find anything. I had white
small lumps coming out from my throat. That is also common if you
have angina pectoris, but they could never find that either, on the
tests they did at my physicians. I probably had fungus in my ears as
well, because from periods I had a lot of discomfort and ear pain,
and again, no one could find anything wrong with my ears. Sounds like
I was a real full time hypochondriac, right? Well, I thought I was
too, believe me. I thought I would go crazy sometimes when they
couldn't find anything wrong with me, AGAIN!
By chance I stumbled on some information about candida and the
symptoms you could have, and I put one and one together and realized
that this could be what I suffered from. I had also been overweight
for some years and I just couldn't seem to loose those pounds I so
badly needed to get rid of . It all fitted so well on what my life
looked like.
I started a diet according to some ground rules for candida
treatment. I felt really bad in the beginning, it was like the
symptoms worsened initially, it's very common and nothing to be
worried about. It's called "die off" symptoms, and occurs when the
fungus in you intestines starts to get eliminated. I followed the
diet for about two months, and my life truly changed. It was very
hard to follow the diet from time to time, because of all the
limitations in what I could eat. But oh, did my life change after
those two months. The fatigue was gone, the skin rashes was gone, the
constant yeast infections. I now try to eat modest amounts of the
things that feed fungus, and from time to time I take some herbs and
supplement to keep the candida from growing back. Yes the diet was
hard, but so well worth it in the end. After years of suffering I got
rid of it after a couple of
months.
