Candida Albicans is the yeast that causes Candida Overgrowth and yeast infections. It lives in the digestive tract and antibiotics change it into Candida Overgrowth infection which can ravage the body inside and out. It can affect other medical conditions you may already have; it may lead to or result from other illnesses, it may be a symptom of other illness or it may be the illness. It is difficult to get rid of, but below are some tips that may help you to get rid of it and prevent future recurrences as well.
-
See your physician if you even suspect you may have a Candida Albicans infection.
-
Take all of the prescribed antifungal medication and follow the directions.
-
If after finishing your prescription, you still have symptoms, go back to the doctor and ask if another course is needed; take it as prescribed and take it all.
-
Buy some over the counter antifungal medications. Keep them for a sudden incidence of infection when you can’t get to the doctor. They do work; they are just not as strong as prescription medication.
-
Exercise is an excellent aid in the fight against Candida Albicans. The healthier the body, the easier it will be to get rid of candida albicans naturally.
-
Diet cannot be stressed sufficiently. Candida yeast like to eat. Feed them foods that will not aid in their growth, but rather be healthy for your body. Stick with low sugar low and carbohydrates (yeast loves sugar). High fiber is very important; Candida Albicans is digestive tract yeast, therefore, the healthier the digestive tract, the worse off the Candida will be. Raw vegetables and fruits can help with fiber, as well as provide essential vitamins and minerals.
-
Drink as much water as you can. Flushing the system is critical; it gets rid of the dead yeast, which can release toxins into the body through the intestinal wall.
-
Use home remedies. You probably have some of them and just don’t realize you can use them to fight Candida Albicans. The best is Apple Cider Vinegar; Raw, unfiltered and unpasteurized. It’s full of Candida fighting enzymes. 6 tablespoons a day added to food and drinks, or in salad dressing. Garlic is also full of these enzymes. Yogurt, the kind with probiotic acidophilus live cultures (must be alive). Acidophilus is a bacteria that has a favorite food named Candida Albicans. Yogurt can kill Candida while it’s still in the intestines, before it spreads. It can also be spread directly on an infected area for cooling relief and killing power.
Carefully monitor and care for other health conditions you may have. Diabetes and Candida walk hand in hand; Diabetes produces excess sugar and Candida loves it. If you have a weakened immune system due to chemotherapy, HIV or AIDs, etc. if you are overweight, lose it. Be diligent with personal hygiene, infection does not like cleanliness. Douche when needed with vinegar and water or soak in a tub of warm water and vinegar for topical relief.
