Candida infection symptoms can vary a lot from person to person, but what I can guarantee as a former sufferer myself, is that whatever they are, they are the cause of a lot of discomfort and annoyance. Pain when urinating is a common one, along with recurring vaginal and skin yeast infections. To have digestion problems and gas usually comes with candida, a symptom that can be very uncomfortable and annoying. Some really scary symptoms I myself suffered from was giddiness and tiredness, a symptom that is quite unspecific. I went several times to the physician because of those symptoms, and they could not find anything wrong with me. I thought I had everything from eye problems to a brain tumour. It was not nice to feel like a neurotic hypochondriac, but as soon I started the anti yeast medication I realized that this was what had caused the fatigue. I haven't suffered from it since.
Once you start to cure your candida, with diet and medication, the symptoms can occur even more intensely for some days at first, and you can be very tired. This normally goes away after a some days, but since it's very energy consuming, it can be a good idea to not have too much scheduled during the start of your cure. have in mind that in the end, you will feel much healthier and will regain your energy.
Candida grows from the bowel as a normal part of the bacterial flora, but when overgrowth gets intense, it affects the whole immune system and can really effect your life fundamentally, with thrush fungal infections and more. Many women get outbreaks of thrush during their periods because it grows in progesterone.
You can really get sick from it, with fatigue or recurring yeast infections that are a affecting your life a lot. The symptoms can be treated with several over the counter drugs, but that means that the bowel candida itself is not cured, and the symptoms are going to appear again after a period.
When you know it's candida you have, start with a treatment that will cure the actual cause of it. A sugar and fungus free diet is the most effective way to kill the infection once and for all. To really get rid of it the diet in itself is not really enough. You have to take some herbs and supplements, to get totally cured from it. Garlic is common to take during a cleanse, because it's one of the most effective herbs to kill candida. I would recommend a colon cleanse to speed up the cure. A diet can really make you tired in the beginning, and it can feel like it's too much to stick with if you have a very different diet normally. But I assure you, if you stick to it, you will soon be so much better and regain you energy. It will be worth while!
