Candida

Has anyone had this and what have you taken that has worked, i have done alot of googling but so many people report so many different things that have worked, hoping maybe you guys can nail it down for me. :)
Localized infections, such as oral thrush, skin infections, and vaginal yeast infections in women can result.
Cleanse your mouth and vagina twice daily? :p
 
The yeast Candida albicans is a yeast that normally lives harmlessly in small numbers in the body, controlled by beneficial bacteria in the body and the immune system.

If the beneficial bacteria are killed by antibiotics, or if a person's immune system becomes weakened, Candida can grow unchecked and cause symptoms.

Localized infections, such as oral thrush, skin infections, and vaginal yeast infections in women can result. Widespread infection can occur in immunocompromised people.

Candida overgrowth in the intestines is thought to, in some cases, penetrate the intestinal wall, causing the yeast and other unwanted particles from being absorbed into the body. This is thought to activate the immune system, resulting in fatigue, headache, mood swings, poor memory and concentration, cravings for sweets, and has been linked to conditions such as fibromyalgia.

For uncut males- Candida manifests on the squirty knob end as a series of itchy red bumps.
This is transmitted from female to sensitive males.
It took me a good year to figure it all the heck out as the Doctors prescribed athletes foot creams, and jock itch creams instead of Canesten.- or even better, one nuclear bomb of an anti-fungal pill and it was gone for good. Lesson learned. No Glove. No Love. (Especially not with a honey who wears hot tights and nylons all day every day):sick:
So if you have candida on your winky head, you will not feel the mythic myriad of symptoms described in other posts.
Candida is simply rampant uncontrolled yeast growth infection... What causes too much yeast? Sugar. Cut back sugar and stay away from goth hosed honeys and billy bob's your uncle.
 
* Frequent stomach pains and digestion problems
* Skin problems (skin infections, eczema, psoriasis, acne)
* Foggy brain / Trouble concentrating
* Constant tiredness and exhaustion
* Anxiety
* Mood swings
* Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
* Anger outbursts
* Irritability
* Headaches
* Intense cravings for sugars, sweets, and breads
* Itchy skin

Actually your wrong hosehead, candida manifests in your gut not your penis or vagina. candida infections happens when there is to little good bacteria to keep a healthy balance in your gut.

Candida as i have learned is not just a sexual disease.

Eye i have 90% of the problems listed in this post, while you guys think this is a joke its actually a very real problem and most people will just laugh it off because they think candida is something only chicks can get and only something that you have on your penis which is not even close to the truth.
 
Cut out all sugar and yeast products. That's what the candida feeds on. Within a week you should be feeling better. Just be prepared for wicked sugar craving for the first 3 days (and don't cave in to them because you'll be back at square one).
 
Well alan i have checked and there is no cure for candida, diet will help but i have bought probiotics no 9 and olive leaf extract.

The probiotics keep your gut balanced with good bacteria and the olive leaf extract kills the candida, well so the lady at dischem told me yesterday and i googled a bit which confirmed it.

Its not about curing candida, you never will. It's about maintaining a balance in your body so its not over-run with candida.

While i agree alot of people have a few of the symptoms, i would imagine if you have 90% of them, there is a good chance you do infact have a problem.

i have the obvious ones, which would be the NON female symptoms. and i mean, i have them often.

my question is: if this is such a serious issue, how did our ancestors survive all this time? or is candida not lethal?

is there a TEST for this? and i mean a scientific test, not some Scientology-esque "put your finger on the knobby and i will guestimate your chance on survival based on the magic aura emanating from your rectal wall"
 
And now for a song:

The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I ? Just an ordinary guy
Tryin hard to win me first prize

Oh my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I in a house, baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine

Oh my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

Oh my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter

See, Tony Orlando reckons we should celebrate Candida. So to killa and Alan, I would just like to say congratulations on contracting Candida!
