Symptoms of Yeast Infections and The Yeast Infection Diet
Find out the symptoms of yeast infections and learn what Yeast Free Foods to add to your diet especially to help with a chronic yeast infection.
The yeast infection diet is about limiting foods that cause yeast or candida to grow and adding more yeast free foods to help you keep a better balance.
Chronic yeast infections can lead to a disorder called "Leaky Gut Syndrome" and this can result in a host of food allergies.
What is Candida?
Candida Albicans are a form of yeast that is normally found in the lower bowels, genitals, skin and mouth.
"Friendly Bacteria" and a healthy immune system prevent this yeast from becoming an infectious fungus in our bodies.
It is when our bodies lose their proper immune protection or the intestinal pH is altered unfavorably, that the organism can change from the yeast form to the fungal form.
This leads to a Condition known as Candida or Yeast Infection.
A Chronic Yeast Infection
The fungal form produces hook-shaped barbed appendages that cut into tissue and membranes, causing pain and other harmful symptoms.
If not treated, "Leaky Gut Syndrome" can develop in the intestinal tract.
This allows toxins to leave the digestive tract and feed right into the bloodstream.
This condition also allows partially digested dietary proteins to travel into the bloodstream, where they exert a powerful assault on the immune system.
