Treating Intestinal Yeast Infections

By Jennifer King

Without realizing it, thousands of men and women suffer from intestinal yeast overgrowth. The first signs are usually regular indigestion and gas, and then it can turn into something that is a lot harder to treat. Your energy can start to decline and other symptoms that effect your muscles and your concentration can occur.

A yeast infection in your intestines, at first, will just seem like a bout of indigestion and gas. To stop the indigestion most people attempt to cure their symptoms with antacids and indigestion remedies. Just like taking any other drug for an intestinal health problem the antacids are only masking your intestinal yeast infection by eliminating one symptom, and this is where more problems begin.

Hydrochloric acid is needed in your stomach so you can properly digest your food, and stop any bacteria that are not suppose to make it's way into your intestines. So by neutralizing your stomach acid more infection causing bacteria survive their way to your intestines, and this then makes your yeast overgrowth worse.

Once the Candida is being helped along by the antacids it will begin to flourish in your intestines. Most people at this point will start suffering from a vaginal yeast infection then chronic vaginal yeast infections. The Candida will easily set up home in other warm and moist parts of your body as this is where they breed the most. The Candida yeast loves warm moist places so the inside of a vagina is a perfect home, and this is the reason why so many yeast infections are in this area of your body.

The Candida in your intestines will feed off of the food you eat, and feed on the walls of your intestines. Once it has perforated the walls of your intestines the toxins from the mutated Candida yeast ( 79 of them ) will start entering your bloodstream. As well as these toxins, small food particles will also enter your bloodstream. The rest of your body will start feeling the effects of all these things entering your bloodstream.

Simply indigestion will turn into

Lethargy Aching joints and muscles Chronic/recurrent vaginal yeast infections Skin disorders Toxic liver Food allergies Mood swings Brain fog Concentration problems And many more symptoms

There are no drugs that are available to treat a fungal infection of the intestines. Any drugs that are available such as anti fungals will only make your yeast infection worse. They make infections worse by creating an imbalance in your intestinal flora, and the drugs also suppress your immune system. Your immune system needs to be strong, and you need a healthy population of friendly bacteria to prevent any Candida mutating in your digestive tract.

Treating your intestinal yeast infection at the first sign of any symptoms with a natural cure can stop you suffering from all of the symptoms that can make your life unpleasant. Treating yeast infections naturally re-balance your intestinal flora, and strengthen your immune system.
