Intestinal Yeast Infection

Posted by DietExpert On January - 24 - 2009 0 Comment

Our bodies actually need the fungal organism blamed for most yeast infections – Candida albicans. Without it, we wouldn’t be able to properly digest food. Unfortunately, when the body’s hormones or chemicals fall out of balance, optimum conditions for yeast to grow and multiply develop.

A yeast infection can manifest in many parts of the body including the mouth, the breasts, the vagina, penis, rectum and even in the intestines.

A compromised immune system sometimes fails to protect us from this normally beneficial bacteria. Candida albicans is a fungal organism and sometimes it needs to be put in its place by our antibodies. A war of sorts takes place once the balance gets of kilter. Candida is aggressive and it will actually colonize in body tissue. While it isn’t the most common form of yeast infection – this can become an intestinal yeast infection.

What are the symptoms of an intestinal yeast infection?

Candida grows. It forms invasive long roots that will penetrate into the lining of the intestine. The boundary between the intestinal tract and the circulatory system breaks down. That’s not good. Certain dangerous by-products the intestines normally eliminate sneak into the bloodstream.

Regardless of where it is located in the body, a yeast infection can cause general physical problems such as weakness, headaches, fatigue, respiratory problems and more.

An intestinal yeast infection (also known as a gastrointestinal infection) can result in oral thrush, diarrhea, gas, bloating, rectal itching and a condition called inflammatory bowel disease. Every body reacts differently and not all of these symptoms will plague you, but others that aren’t listed here might.
