Candida Home Cure

These are the contributing factors to an intestinal fungal infection: pregnancy, cortisone therapy, oral contraceptives, NSAID drugs (Motrin, Clinoril, Relafen etc.), and high consumption of sugar. A high sugar diet can promote the growth of yeast. Therefore, an individual who is eats processed foods, nearly all of which contain sugar, has an impaired ability to fight off an infection. The consumption of sugar impairs the killing of the “bad” bacteria for 8 hours.

You should avoid antibiotics. But if you can’t, eating a cup of yogurt every day helps some women to prevent a candida infection following antibiotic treatment; however, eating yogurt will not cure a yeast infection.

An untreated intestinal yeast infection will activate your body’s immune system causing numerous problems. It’s best to take preventative measures so that you can avoid the serious side-effects from having an infection.

Detecting an Intestinal Yeast Infection

Many tests have proved to be helpful in detecting yeast infections in the intestine. The Indican test will check the ratio of “good” and “bad” bacteria in the patient’s intestines to determine whether the stomach is absorbing enough proteins and carbohydrates. Another is the Gut Fermentation Test, which checks the blood alcohol after a glucose shot. The third and less commonly used one is the intestinal permeability test. If you are vaguely suspicious, you can do a home candida test. In the morning before you eat or drink, drop some spit in a clear glass of water. Observe the water for 10 minutes. If the spit stays on top of the water then you are safe. If the spit breaks up then you may have an imbalance.

If you suspect that you are infected, it is best to consult with your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
