Many people that we run into each day may very well have one or more symptoms of an overgrowth of Candida, and many are not aware of their problem. Many others may have tried to find the cause by seeking help from their physician, but, regrettably, many doctors are unfamiliar with the symptoms, some of which can be confusing to them, and don’t always recognize that Candida is the cause of the symptoms. Candida is a kind of yeast or fungus. It actually is a normal part of your varied intestinal flora, but other key players in the flora, especially some important bacteria, tend to keep Candida under control. But some conditions allow Candida to grow unchecked. One such reason is frequent use of antibiotics, which tend to damage or destroy the normal bacteria part of the intestinal flora. Under these conditions, Candida can change form and invade other parts of the body.
Normally Candida is in the form of oval-shaped yeast cells, but under unfavorable conditions chains of elongated calls named pseudohyphae, and eventually can form even stronger filaments called hyphae than can damage the intestinal wall, causing leaky gut syndrome. These hyphae and pseudohyphae are often clearly visible in the blood of persons with autoimmune diseases such as cancer. Candida can also form strong biofilm layers.
