Candida Albacans is a type of yeast fungus which, it is thought is present in everyone, or at least a large percentage of the population. It tends to live in either the mouth, the vaginal area, digestive tract or in the folds of our skin.
Normally a good immune system along with a healthy amount of friendly bacteria (probiotics) will help to keep the fungus from growing excessively.
Unfortunately if a person’s immune system should become weakened through either illness or through excessive use of prescribed or non-prescribed drugs then this provides the Candida with a chance to grow quickly.
There are however, many ways of suppressing a Candida yeast infection from growing out of control.
Increasing the amount of probiotics in the body is one way that has shown to help. Probiotics are good bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract and they are part of the body’s defense against yeast infections. Should their numbers become low there is nothing to stop the Candida from multiplying.
Probiotic supplements can help to reintroduce friendly bacteria into your body. Normally probiotics come in capsule form or as a drink, although there are some probiotic foods available. They all contain a large amount of friendly bacteria.
Generally a good probiotic supplement will contain around 30 – 50 billion good bacteria and will normally be taken as part of a treatment.
Another way of ensuring that Candida is not provided with the right kind of environment to thrive in is by changing your diet.
Often a person suffering from Candida will be recommended to go on an anti-candida diet.
These diets require the elimination of foods which contain sugar this includes granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey all types of syrups (maples and molasses) as well as many fruit and fruit juices.
Also, food that contain yeast should be removed from the diet as well, which would include all bakery goods like bread, cookies, crackers, muffins and pastries.
The reason for cutting these foods out of your diet are because both sugar and yeast are ideal for helping the Candida yeast fungi to grow even more and they do not create a friendly environment for the good bacteria to prosper.
As well as a change of diet often your doctor will probably prescribe a course of treatment, which includes drugs that have anti-fungal properties.
Your doctor will often prescribe them and request you to make changes to your diet. However, if they do not it is important that you find out the cause of your candida infection, otherwise it could reoccur after the medication has run its course.
Mention to your physician that you would like to look at ways of improving your immune system, and bolstering the levels of good bacteria in your GI tract, these will both help reduce the chance of candida albacans from reoccurring.
