Are you experiencing these kinds of health issues like irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, Crohn’s disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, and Autoimmune (AiD) disease. These may relate to one and been found to have a significant connection to yeast overgrowth that leads to an infection.

At Native Sun Nutrition & Functional Medicine, we believe in addressing the root cause of health concerns such as the “yeast overgrowth” rather than just managing its symptoms.

How Yeast Overgrowth Can Contribute To Underlying Illness

Candida, a normal part of your natural microflora, is the most common cause of fungal infections worldwide. Although it may be a contributing factor in some illnesses, it may be the cause of others. However, it almost always accompanies intestinal, immune, degenerative, or toxicity related illnesses. Recovery from Candida overgrowth requires a whole lifestyle healing approach and once it is discovered, the very first step is to detect the underlying cause.

A Plea From Nature

• Stop the killing of beneficial bacteria
• Prof. Martin Blaser writes that while antibiotics focus on bacterial resistance, the permanent changes in our protective flora could have more serious consequences: our friendly flora sometimes never fully recover from a course of antibiotics.
• He quoted “Each generation could be beginning life with smaller endowment of ancient microbes than the last”
• Over use of antibiotics could be fueling the dramatic increase of obesity, type 1 diabetes, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autoimmune diseases and allergies.

Yeast Overgrowth Diagnosis

The truth is, everybody has Candida in their bodies and it lives in your mucous membranes. Yeast overgrowth is something of a controversial illness, and many medical professionals have not yet recognized it. There are a few tests that are recognized to determine the levels of possible Candida overgrowth. The culture test is for skin and genital yeast infections where a small skin sample is cultured to determine the presence of yeast, which can be seen under a microscope. In the blood, antibodies can be checked for the likelihood of candida overgrowth.

Irritable bowel syndrome, leaky gut, Crohn’s disease, and inflammatory bowel disease, and Autoimmune (AiD) disease have all been found to have a significant connection to yeast overgrowth. Even if you were to perform these tests, the specific treatment will differ per individual based on severity and other co-morbidity’s the patient has.

Yeast Overgrowth Symptoms:

• Exhaustion
• White coat on tongue
• Geographic tongue
• Brain fog
• Hormone imbalance
• Joint pain
• Loss of sex drive
• Chronic sinus and allergy issues
• Digestive problems (gas and bloating)
• Skin problems
• Weak immune system
• UTI
• Autoimmune diseases
  
  

We would say that Candida within itself isn’t the cause of the health problems. It is simply an opportunistic organism that thrives in an unhealthy host.
