Antibiotics And Birth Control And Its Relationship To Yeast Infections

An overgrowth of a yeast known as Candida albicans has been proven to be responsible for numerous health defects among both men and women, and particularly yeast infections.

While considering this, it is important to note that not all of the yeast found in our bodies is bad. In fact, Candida albicans normally is found on the skin and also within the digestive tract. In women, it is also found in the vagina.
Candida albicans,
It only becomes a problem when the balance of good bacteria in the gut is disrupted by factors such as antibiotics and birth control pills.
Diet can also have an effect, and studies have shown that consumption of grains and sugars can also cause the Candida to multiply rapidly and dominate the good bacteria.

Under normal circumstances the good bacteria will keep under control both the yeast and harmful bacteria, however we can all expect to suffer the consequences of an imbalance at some stage of our lives.

If your body has an excess of yeast, expect the lining of your intestines to become weaker. Weaker intestinal linings can result in toxins that are normally retained in the gut to enter the bloodstream.
This can subsequently cause you to develop a craving for foods which are high in sugars and carbohydrates which only ads to the problem.

Researchers have uncovered a multitude of toxins released into the bloodstream by the Candida yeast overgrowth..

Recommended treatments include
Correct diet and exercise
Getting Plenty of Good Bacteria
Avoiding Exposure to Chemicals

Dr. Crook formulated a treatment for yeast overgrowth and the many symptoms that accompany Candidiasis, and it is truly effective.

1. The Right Diet and Exercise

A diet rich in meats, chicken, eggs, seeds and nuts, vegetables, and healthy oils (free range and organic) — while avoiding sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods — will restrict the amount of fuel the yeast in your intestine has available to it. I would add to this to make your diet in tune with your nutritional type.

Once you’ve started on the diet, exercising will begin to rebalance the levels of neurotransmitters in your brain and improve your mood.

One of the elements of diet that does seem counter intuitive is the absolute restriction of even fruits when one is seeking to eliminate yeast, as even the tiniest amounts of sugar seem to worsen this condition.

2. Getting Plenty of Good Bacteria

You will want to increase your probiotic (good bacteria) intake with a high-quality probiotic supplement or by eating cultured and fermented foods, such as natto. These contain the good bacteria that keep your vagina and gastrointestinal tract healthy and will ultimately replace the Candida.

3. Avoiding Exposure to Chemicals

Paints, household cleaners, perfumes and scents may cause allergic reactions, and chemical sensitivities are very common in people with yeast overgrowth.

4. Addressing Emotional and Psychological Issues

Food cravings, especially those for sweets, often are exacerbated by emotional dependencies. Tools like the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) can help you to overcome unhealthy food cravings and other emotional hurdles.
