Candida fungusis found in various parts of the body such as mouth, skin, intestines and even the vagina. It has been proven that under normal conditions, the fungus resides at least 80% of humans. The fungus exists without causing harmful effects. As we have discussed before, problems arise when the fungus experiences an overgrowth. The result is an infection called candidiasis or what is also referred to as yeast infection. In more specific terms, the infection is referred to as thrush when the fungus resides in the mouth, and diaper rash when the fungus appears as inflamed rashes. The Candida fungus often appears as

egg-shaped, single-celled yeast. This is the normal state of the fungus, not having enough numbers to invade the body system. It can be referred to as the safest form of Candida albicans, since the fungus actually helps in performing critical tasks such as identifying and eliminating harmful or bad bacteria. Controlling it, are the body’s immune systemas well as the so-called good bacteria that neutralize the amount of bad bacteria in the system. However, when the Candida fungus increases in numbers, in critical areas such as the intestine, it transforms its composition from the yeast-like form into what experts call as mycelial fungal form. When seen under a microscope, this fungus is characterized by elongated like roots, and unlike the yeast-like form, this is the invasive or harmful form of the Candida. The overgrowth of the fungus results to the infection called candidiasis.

One of the more pronounced damages of the mycelial fungus happens inside the digestive system. The mycelial fungus develops and puts considerable damage on the bowel wall. By damaging the said wall, the liver is exposed to undigested food, and in the process resulting to numerous health concerns. Among these problems include athlete’s foot, persistent itching of private parts and the nose, bad breath, diarrhea, constipation, depression, and inflammation of the vagina. The tricky part in this problem is that the fungus can survive almost all forms of antidotes. Classified as among pleomorphic fungi, the mylcelial fungus has the ability to transform in order to resist and survive antifungal treatments. True enough; the Candida albicans fungus can be very dangerous to any person’s system. The symptoms that candidiasis infection brings can be very disturbing and frightening. But how does one stay away from having the infection?

Experts agree that nutrition is important to keep the fungus from developing and outnumbering the good bacteria. Those who are suffering from candidiasis infection ought to stay away from food that are processed or those which have too much salt, sugar, and chemicals in them. Eating whole foods or raw, unprocessed food is also beneficial for those with overgrowth of Candida albicans. Healthy foods that are considered to counter the negative effects of the Candida albicans fungus include garlic, onions, fruits, water, and tea. Dealing with candidiasis can be tough, but then again, those who have discipline in their diet can win the battle against yeast infection.
