Candidiasis, also known as gastrointestinal fungal infection or yeast infection, is caused by Candida albicans – microorganisms that are part of the natural bacterial flora. A small amount of these fungi is constantly present in our bodies, but this usually has no impact on our health. However, excessive growth of the fungi poses a serious threat to the body. The neurotoxins produced by the fungi poison the organism, attacking and damaging the heart, lungs, and even the brain. As a result, one may experience depression, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, fungal infections of the nails, skin, or even the vagina.
People with candidiasis are usually unaware of the condition. They typically suffer from fatigue, drowsiness, and lack of concentration. They experience frequent abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea and bloating. Infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, or reproductive organs may also occur as a result of weakened immunity. Individuals suffering from gastrointestinal candidiasis often have increased cravings for sweets.
The causes of fungal infections can vary. Most commonly, they result from excessive use of antibiotics, taking contraceptive pills, diets high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, vitamin deficiencies (especially B vitamins), and obesity.
