Candida is one of those topics that can be elusive when it comes to getting an official medical diagnosis and yet you\u2019re likely to have caught the word floating around over and over again in your health-minded chats like a regular and perhaps cryptic refrain to explain away all sorts of vague inexplicable symptoms. Is candida real and what does it do?<\/p>\n

Candida is a fungus that grows naturally in our gut so nothing to worry about there, our gut ecology is after all, a melting pot of microbial critters. But if it gets out of control, it can invade your gut and cause damage that affects your nutrient absorption and cause leaky gut too, which means that toxins from your gut can get through to your bloodstream, bypassing your body\u2019s usual mechanisms. This can make you feel less than wonderful.<\/p>\n

An overgrowth of Candida can lead to so many symptoms that it\u2019s hard to pinpoint what\u2019s what – headaches, foggy brain, body aches, sore joints, depression, chills, gassiness, feeling hung over, low libido, weight gain, weight loss, food intolerances, bloating, joint pain, diarrhea, yeasts infections in women, skin issues such as acne and itchiness, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and food cravings.<\/p>\n

What causes it?<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Overuse of antibiotics are often the culprit \u2013 they kill off good bacteria in the gut and disrupt the delicate balance that your body naturally creates
\n\u2022 A diet high in refined carbs and sugars \u2013 candida loves these
\n\u2022 Too much alcohol
\n\u2022 Oral contraceptives
\n\u2022 Stress<\/p>\n

Symptoms<\/h2>\n

\u2022 Digestive problems such as gas, bloating or diarrhea
\n\u2022 Brain fog \u2013 difficulty focusing and poor memory
\n\u2022 Skin rashes \u2013 hives, eczema and itching
\n\u2022 Feeling very irritable or depressed
\n\u2022 Food sensitivities and allergies
\n\u2022 Thrush
\n\u2022 Autoimmune illnesses
\n\u2022 You crave carbs and sugars<\/p>\n

Solutions<\/h2>\n

Getting rid of excessive candida is something you will need to commit to for at least a few weeks to a few months. Using conventional medicines can lead to side effects and more imbalance, so here are some natural solutions that work with your body\u2019s own balance. Taking a multi-pronged approach with candida is the best solution, from starving it, to knocking it off with anti-fungals.<\/p>\n

Weaken it<\/h3>\n

One of the most important things you can do is make sure you don\u2019t feed candida the food it craves, which can be hard as it makes you crave those foods too. So prepare yourself mentally to be aware that when you cut these foods out, it is the candida with the cravings, not you.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Refined carbs and sugars should be struck off your list completely and replaced with wholegrain choices.
\n\u2022 Keep fruit to about 5% of your daily intake. Stick to tart low glycemic fruits like berries and pineapples.
\n\u2022 Alcohol also feeds candida so you\u2019ll have to moderate your indulgence while you are on a candida elimination diet.
\n\u2022 Think protein and high fiber foods like veggies and salads, with a moderate amount of complex alkaline carbs thrown in, like millet<\/a> or quinoa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you think you have a really heavy candida load it may be a good idea to start the diet and some detox support at least a week or two before you start antifungals as when the Candida starts to die off it will release toxins that can make you feel pretty off. Getting your liver and digestion into better shape first will help your body cope with the die-off.<\/p>\n

Detox Support<\/h3>\n

As the Candida starts to starve, and die off, it will be sure to create some unpleasant detox symptoms but they are well worth it. You can minimise this by providing your liver with some support and your body with some super nutrients so it can rebuild and heal effectively.<\/p>\n

\"Viridian<\/a>

Viridian Organic Milk Thistle 400mg<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2022 Milk thistle<\/a> and liver support complexes<\/a> will help your liver deal with the extra load
\n\u2022 Glutamine<\/a> will help your gut lining repair
\n\u2022Antioxidants<\/a> such as Vitamin C<\/a> to support your immunity and detox
\n\u2022 Probiotics <\/a>are a very important aspect of dealing with Candida as they\u2019ll help the good flora in your tummy get the upper hand as they rebalance your gut ecology
\n\u2022 Physillium husk <\/a>can sooth your gut lining and help you digestive tract move things along as it clears away the die-off
\n\u2022 Digestive aids <\/a>can also help your tummy process the extra work<\/p>\n

Antifungals<\/h3>\n

Candida can be pretty resistant to conventional antibiotics, here are some natural remedies that pack a potent punch in the natural antifungal department:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Olive Leaf Extract<\/em> <\/a>is a pretty impressive antibiotic overall that is an effective antifungal that kills Candida with a phenolic compound called oleuropein.<\/h4>\n
\"Honeyguide<\/a>

Honeyguide Propolis Tincture Dropper<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2022 Propolis<\/a><\/em> contains pinocembrin and acacetin, two flavonoids that are potently antibacterial and antifungal. It\u2019s also soothing and antinflammatory \u2013 it\u2019s what the bees use as their own healing disinfectant after all.
\n\u2022 Extra Virgin Coconut Oil<\/em><\/a> is a strong antifungal containing caprylic acid that kills off yeast overgrowth, while improving your nutrient absorption and providing a readily useable form of energy for your liver that your body can use straight away. This way it can help you with cravings you may experience when you are doing your cleanse as well as support your liver as you detox, which it definitely will be needing. You can simply take a yummy tablespoon or two with your meals.
\n\u2022 Turmeric:<\/a><\/em> research has confirmed that turmeric is a fantastic fungicide as it completely inhibits the growth of candida and is actually more potent than the commercially used fungicide that is usually prescribed. A quirk they found was that it was more effective when used with vitamin C<\/a><\/em>.<\/h4>\n
\"Natures<\/a>

Natures Choice Bentonite Clay Powder<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Crede

\n\u2022 Colloidal silver<\/em> <\/a>is a powerful natural antibiotic that is antifungal.<\/h4>\n
\"Silverlab<\/a>

Silverlab Colloidal Silver Liquid<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2022 Zeolite<\/a> and Benonite Clay<\/a><\/em>: Bentonite clay absorbs toxins, heavy metals, bacteria, virus and fungi and passes them out through your stool. It selectively absorbs toxins as toxins are positively charged and Bentonite has a negative charge. Zeolite has similar healing properties.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Emotional support<\/h3>\n

Support yourself by finding ways to reduce stress \u2013 something you love like yoga, tai chi or painting.
\nBe gentle on yourself, going through a detox can feel a little draining and emotionally challenging. Stick with it and you\u2019ll be so glad you did!<\/em><\/h4>\n
