Taryn Hall-Smith who is the Director of The Contented Body www.thecontentedbody.com talks about identifying Candida this month.Could Candida be causing your symptoms?Have you been feeling tired? Or maybe a bit depressed? Oh yes, and what about those headaches you keep getting? And the skin problems? Has it occurred to you that you could be suffering from Candida? People with Candida can suffer for months or years without a proper diagnosis because the symptoms of Candida are common miscellaneous symptoms. In addition, because there are no visible signs of disease or illness they are often mistakenly and unkindly branded hypochondriacs! Candida can be a debilitating, depressing and lonely condition. But what exactly is it? The gut flora is made up of bacteria, yeast and other organisms. There are ‘good’ bacteria existing alongside ‘harmful’ organisms, such as Candida. Normally the good bacteria keep the Candida in check but if an imbalance occurs the Candida can start to take over and cause health problems. The majority of people who have Candida do not realize they have it in its initial stages and usually only realize when they become seriously ill. Candida symptoms are so numerous and seemingly unrelated that it can be very frustrating trying to identify the cause of your problem! Take a look at the following list of some common symptoms of Candida and see if they seem familiar to you:•Food intolerances•Chronic fatigue & drowsiness•Hypoglycemia•Irritability, anxiety, depression and/or mood swings•Foggy brain or inability to concentrate•Constipation and/or diarrhea•Digestive problems e.g. bloating, gas, cramping, heartburn, indigestion, colic in babies•Irregular menstruation, PMS, cramps•Vaginal yeast infections; oral thrush; Candida on nipples/ breasts when breastfeeding; athletes foot; jock itch; or fungal infections on the skin & nails•Chronic congestion/sinus infections•Skin problems, i.e. eczema, psoriasis, acne, itchiness and other rashes•Cravings for sugar, bread or alcohol •Weight gain•Hay fever/general allergies/asthmatic symptoms•Intolerance of perfumes, odors, fumes, tobacco smoke, etc.If you recognize several of these symptoms in yourself then you may want to investigate the possibility that you may have a Candida problem. Do not leave it and hope it will go away by itself! If you have a Candida overgrowth it absolutely will not go away by itself! In fact, it will continue to take over your digestive tract so that, not only will your health not improve, it will continue to deteriorate until you are forced to do something about it. But once you know what you are dealing with you can start to take the necessary steps to get better! A perfect start would be to take the free Candida home test on www.TheContentedBody.com
