Candida: how to recognize it from the symptoms

It is now known that " candida is not coming to you, you already have it ", since candida colonies, in small numbers, are habitual citizens of our bacterial flora .

But when the intestinal equilibrium is altered, does the candida take over, and are they pains?

Not necessarily: the symptoms of candida can be mild or confusable with those of other diseases.

However, there are unmistakable signs of candida infection to watch out for.

Here are the symptoms that allow us to recognize candida.

Candida: recognize it from the symptoms

The symptoms of candida, it was said, are very variable from person to person and it is often difficult to make a diagnosis in the absence of striking symptoms.

Some are very common, as candida infection is widespread in the world population, so much so that it does not raise suspicion. After all, who does n't feel tired sometimes?

We grouped the symptoms of candida by type . Those who suffer from candida infection have at least 3 of these symptoms simultaneously:

Nervous / emotional system : headache, migraine, depression, difficulty sleeping or waking up at night, irritability, confusion, memory problems, anxiety disorders, attention deficit.

Digestive system : desire for sweets (or chocolate, bread, vinegar, alcohol), metabolic syndrome, hypoglycemia, abdominal fat, gastric reflux, flatulence and abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea.
Skin, hair : frequent fungal infections, eczema, psoriasis, premature graying of the hair, hands, nose and feet always cold.
Immune disorders : asthma, allergies, recurrent infections, autoimmune diseases.
General symptoms : fatigue, fatigue, muscle pain, poor cold tolerability.
For women in particular : premenstrual syndrome , endometriosis, infertility, whitish leakage, recurrent cystitis.

Candida: in addition to symptoms, lifestyle

There are also eating habits and other signals that can make us suspect a candida infection. If they are present along with the symptoms seen above, perhaps it is better to run for cover. Here are some:

Frequent use of antibiotics
Use of the contraceptive pill
Consumption of only refined cereals
Frequent consumption of sweets, prepared, pre-packaged, preserved foods
Consumption of alcohol and spirits

Candida: a quick home test

No, it is not pleasant and not even scientifically accurate, but out of curiosity, if you suspect a candida infection, try to do it. Best if you wake up in the morning before rinsing and brushing your teeth.

Fill a glass with fresh water and spit it out (yes, right, without coughing, just saliva) inside. Leave it there for about 15 minutes then go back to see: if you have developed gelatinous filaments, which are proposed from the surface towards the bottom of the glass, with great probability they are colonies of yeasts, and perhaps of candida.
