When most people hear the word Candida,
they think of itching, headaches, depression and overall ill health. While
Candida does deserve some of the bad reputation it gets, lately some of the
reports about Candida are completely baseless and totally false. It has caused
the public to believe a lot of incorrect information and to take precautions
that are completely unnecessary. People have gone on "yeast free
diets" to detoxify their bodies of candida.
A fact that may surprise many people is
that all
of us have Candida. Candida is present in the intestine of every healthy
human being. Candidiasis is a condition that often occurs after antibiotics
have been used to get rid of a bacterial infection. It may also occur if the
person’s immune system has been compromised, prime examples being infection
from diseases such as AIDS and cancer. It may also occur if the person has any
form of critical illness.
Candida has been blamed for gas and
bloating, this is impossible because yeast makes carbon
dioxide and carbon dioxide is quickly diffused into the bloodstream and
promptly exhaled by the lungs. It doesn’t matter how much candida is in your
colon it cannot possibly make you bloated or cause gas. Carbon dioxide does not
stay in your colon long enough to make you flatulent. If you have a lot of gas
it is probably due to an excess of bacteria.
If you are having chronic yeast infections
cutting products made with yeast from your diet will not stop the infection,
this is because the Fungi Kingdom has over 1,500 different species. Yeast is
used in so many products that one specific type used in yogurt, bread, beer or
anything else you eat could not and will not be single handedly responsible for
continued infection.
There are websites that claim that a
person can get Candida overgrowth; these claims are completely false. They may
also claim that Candida can come through the walls of the gut and enter the
bloodstream causing headaches, depression and also affect the systems of the
body. It is impossible for Candida to penetrate the walls of the gut unless it
has been damaged or punctured, unless significant trauma occurs fungi cannot travel
through the blood.
So if your health care practitioner
diagnoses Candida overgrowth and does tests that confirm this, it may be that
you were environmentally exposed and your immune system developed antibodies.
If stool tests find candida in your colon, this is not unusual. Since no normal
amount has been established for the presence of candida in the gut then there
can be no official abnormal amount.
Microbiological testing is the
public's guarantee that the products they are consuming or using have been
evaluated for safety while they are in the process of being made and after they
have finished the manufacturing process. Yeast and mold can be
dangerous to people and animals and must be detected before products are
placed on the market. Microbiology
quality assurance tests using high-tech microbiological instruments are
necessary for yeast and mold detection because these organisms are capable of
deteriorating the product being produced and must be detected and eliminated
for quality control. These tests need not take days to complete as there are
now rapid detection systems
that can detect yeast and mold quickly. This makes quality assurance testing
easy and accurate.
