Do you have signs of yeast intolerance? Do you have recurrent yeast infections? Maybe you just don't feel like yourself. Something is wrong and you can't figure out what it is. Your normal energy and good moods seem to be gone for now. You're starting to feel like a hypochondriac; you seem to have so many physical complaints lately. One minute it's fatigue, the next minute you're complaining about aches and pains and you don't seem to be able to lose weight, no matter what you try.
Did you know that many people have too much yeast in their digestive systems and don't know it? It's true.
You may be familiar with vaginal yeast infections. Recurrent yeast infections, which are often treated with Monistat, are only an external sign of something bigger--going on in the body. It usually means that you have an overload of yeast in your digestive system. Or worse yet, the yeast has changed into a fungus that produces toxins, and entered your bloodstream.
By the way, both men and women get these imbalances known as yeast overgrowth or Candida.
Your digestive system needs some yeast to work correctly, but it needs to be kept in balance with the good bacteria. When you take antibiotics, for example, they kill all bacteria: both good and bad. When the yeast-bacteria balance is upset, you can end up with a variety of different symptoms: everything from constipation, diarrhea and bloating to headaches, mood changes and brain fog.
Do you find yourself feeling like a hypochondriac with increasing complaints about aches, pains and fatigue? Consider trying a yeast free diet for a few weeks. You'll know within about 7-14 days if there is improvement. Some people feel improvement in 2-3 days.
At first glance, a yeast free diet may seem restrictive, as it means giving up breads, sugars, along with fermented products (wine, vinegar, mustard) for a few weeks to 3 months. Once all of your symptoms have subsided, you can gradually add yeast products back into your diet. Many people never go back completely to their old style of eating....because they look and feel so much better. And yes, you may lose weight; many people do.
Drinking lots of water and fitting in exercise also help re-balance your system.
People who don't know they have a problem with yeast intolerance--who do not change their diet--can end up with Systemic Candida which causes more serious problems and is more difficult to treat.
