Candida Detox

Candida is a yeast common in the human gut flora. It is also the most common cause of fungal infection worldwide. According to a recent article on MindBodyGreen, symptoms of a candida overgrowth are:

• Skin and nail fungal infections (such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus)
• Feeling tired and worn down or suffering from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
• Digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
• Autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis
• Difficulty concentrating, poor memory, lack of focus, ADD, ADHD and brain fog
• Skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes
• Irritability, mood swings, anxiety, or depression
• Vaginal infections , urinary tract infections, rectal itching or vaginal itching
• Severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears
• Strong sugar and refined carbohydrate cravings

Given I am experiencing at least six of these symptoms and have a poor daily diet I am undertaking a Candida Detox as described in another recent MindBodyGreen post.
