| 1. Systemic yeast infections are caused by gut dysbiosis. Gut dysbiosis is basically overgrowth of bad bacteria. 2. Migranes, bloating, brain fog, thrush all over body, bowel transit issues (too fast or slow), anxious There is a medication that is sold OTC called Diflucan. It is magical if you have this problem. The only long term fix is stop eating food that makes the cell walls of your bowels disintegrate. The goal is for large proteins to remain in your intestines and not leak into your body and cause your immune system to attack itself. Part of what leaks out is yeast cells that can infect different parts of your body. Candida is a bad Google term to use, because of the magical voodoo associations, but gut dysbiosis is well studied and found often in the immunocompromised (ie. AIDS patients). More common than AIDS is that it is a chronic food allergy that goes undiagnosed for years and leaks to deterioration of the quality and accuracy of the immune response, paired with the leaking of proteins out of your gut. All fairly new science too so doctors still consider it voodoo. Some foods make your gut leaky (alcohol, egg whites, sugar) and some cause the problems when they leak out (gliadin, casein, yeast). It is very complex if you rabbit hole it. In general it falls under neuroimmunology. |
