{"id":1845,"count":2,"description":"<h1>Candida albicans<\/h1>\r\n<h3>What it is candida albicans:<\/h3>\r\nA yeast\/fungus which all of us have to a greater or lesser extent in our bodies. It's natural environment is similar to mould: dark, moist, warm places. This makes the gut, groin or in between toes a perfect nesting ground for it to grow. Sometimes candida will cause no problem whatsoever, however when overgrowth occurs, symptoms will appear.\r\n<h3>What causes candida:<\/h3>\r\nGut bacteria moderate the growth of candida, this means that after a course of antibiotcs (where both bad and good bacteria are reduced), candida has a great opportunity to spread itself around in the gut. An overgrowth of candida can also be a result of a weakened immune system, high stress, poor diet or when the body's pH is changed.\r\n<h3>Symptoms:<\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Itchy, inflamed skin, or a flare up of eczema\/psoriasis<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Foggy mind, poor concentration, headaches<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Lethargy<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Sugar cravings<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Digestive upset: bloating, bad breath, constipation, diarrhoea, oral thrush<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Vaginal thrush or anus itching<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Tinea or athletes foots<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Menstrual problems<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>How to treat candid albicans:<\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Starve the candida and make use of anti-fungals: Fungi feeds on sugar and yeast, so eliminate all foods including these two from your diet.
