THE CANDIDA HEALING DIET
Repair your Digestion and Reclaim your Health!
Do you suffer from fatigue, brain fog, insomnia, digestive complaints, heartburn, bad breath, anxiety, irritability or depression, menstrual irregularities, headaches, rashes or itching, sinus congestion, or food allergies? These are only some of the symptoms that can be due to compromised digestive, immune, and liver function with an overgrowth of yeast or bacteria in the digestive system.
Dysbiosis is a primary cause of many health problems. It is an imbalance in gut ecology, an overgrowth of bacteria, fungi, yeast and viruses, and diminishment of healthy flora in the gut. The health of the digestive tract is essential to the health of the whole body. Not only is healthy flora essential for nutrient digestion and absorption, but about 75% of our immune tissue is in the gut. Healthy flora maintains gut barrier function and prevents proteins and other compounds from escaping into the system. “Leaky gut” is a primary factor in the development of food allergies and inflammation.
Good digestion is the foundation for good health. Imbalanced digestion can overwhelm the immune system and liver function, manifesting in imbalances in many different body systems. Some of the more serious effects of chronic dysbiosis include autoimmune disease, chronic fatigue, and cancer.
Candida overgrowth and dysbiosis are widespread in today’s world. Some of the leading causes of imbalance are antibiotic or steroid use, birth control or estrogen replacement therapy, chronic antacid use, a poor diet high in processed foods and sugars, heavy metal exposure (e.g. mercury fillings), environmental pollution, and STRESS!
