Gastrointestinal (GI) Candida overgrowth, often referred to as candidiasis, occurs when a yeast-like fungus grows excessively in the digestive tract. This can happen when the balance of bacteria and yeast in the gut is disrupted, often due to factors like antibiotic use, poor diet, high sugar intake, stress, or a weakened immune system. Studies show candida overgrowth is more likely when there is a gut microbiome imbalance / dysbiosis.
Symptoms of GI Candida overgrowth can include:
Bloating and gas: Excess yeast can produce gases, leading to bloating and discomfort.
Diarrhoea or constipation: Changes in gut flora can lead to irregular bowel movements
Abdominal pain or cramps: Irritation from the overgrowth can cause stomach pain and cramping.
Nausea: Overgrowth may lead to nausea, especially after eating.
Cravings for Sugar and Carbohydrates
Fatigue and Brain Fog
