But those that believe that can grow out of control, even inside those with healthy immune systems (something modern medical science strongly believes is impossible) believe that with large amounts of Candida, come large amounts of carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide, in turn, causes severe and sometimes painful bloating. Candida goes on to irritate the lining of your stomach and intestines so that you arent able to properly absorb the nutrients in your food, leading to battles of constipation or diarrhoea. is believed to be the number one cause of IBS or irritable bowel syndrome.

Another step you can take to try to lower the number of swimming around in your body is to try to limit or eliminate antibiotics from your medicine cabinet. Its believed by those that are suffering from that the biggest culprit in the spread of the disease is that antibiotics are being over-prescribed and overused. The antibiotics kill many of the good bacteria in the digestive tract when they are taken to help treat a sickness. Its thought that this slaughter of the good bacteria is what gives the ability to run wild through the body and make you sick.

Again, it cant be stressed enough that the best thing for anyone who thinks they are suffering from to do is to consult with a doctor before starting any treatment regimen. The more you know about whats ailing you, the easier it will be to treat and the sooner youll feel better.
