Candidiasis also known as "candida"
is a type of parasitic yeast like fungus that gets in your intestines,
genital tract, throat, and mouth. Normally, this fungus lives in
balance with other bacteria and yeasts in
the body; however, sometimes it starts to multiply too much, weakening
the immune system and causing
an infection called candidiasis. Symptoms include: constipation,
headaches, diarrhea, bad breath, PMS,
memory loss, mood swings, acne, night sweats, vaginitis, and depression.

Because candida affects different body areas such as ears,
mouth, nose, toenails, fingernails, gastrointestinal tract,
and vagina - it may have a wide range of symptoms including:
abdominal pain, colitis, constipation,
diarrhea, bad breath, headaches,
rectal itching, impotence, memory
loss, mood swings, prostatitis, canker
sores, persistent heartburn,
muscle and joint pain, sore throat, bad cough, congestion,
numbness in the face or extremities, tingling sensations, acne,
night sweats, severe itching, clogged sinuses, PMS
- premenstrual syndrome, burning tongue, white spots on the
tongue and in the mouth, extreme fatigue, vaginitis,
kidney and bladder infections,
arthritis, depression,
hyperactivity, hypothyroidism,
adrenal problems, and even diabetes.
Symptoms often worsen in damp or moldy places, or after
consumption of foods containing sugar and/or yeast. Because of
its many and varied symptoms, this disorder is often
misdiagnosed. Thrush is the candida fungus infection of the
mouth and white sores occur on the gums, inside cheeks, and
tongue. Oral thrush in a baby may infect the mother's nipples
during breast-feeding. The baby's rear maybe infected and look
like diaper rash. Candida infection may also look like
athlete's foot or jock itch. Systemic candidiasis is an
overgrowth of candida everywhere, throughout the body. Candida
can move via the bloodstream to affect all parts and organs in
the human body. Candidiasis may affect both men and women. It
is most common in babies and in persons with weakened immune
systems. Person's with food allergies are vulnerable to
candida infections. Oral thrush, athlete's foot, ringworm,
jock itch, fingernail or toenail fungus, and even diaper rash
can develop as a result of the combination of food allergies
and C. albi cans. Yeasts, including candida, feed on sugar. If
the body's pH balance is upset for any reason, the good
bacteria like lactobacilli that metabolize sugars cannot live
and perform well. Women may have more yeast
infections when taking oral contraceptives or during their
pregnancy. Overuse of antibiotics, which kill good bacteria
along with the bad bacteria is a common cause of yeast
infections.
