Treating Candidiasis in the intestines is not as easy as treating a vaginal Candida infection. With a vaginal yeast infection you can buy an OTC anti fungal cream or suppository, and then in a high percentage of cases the Candida is gone for good. With a yeast infection in your intestines anti fungal oral medicines can make your infection worse.

Most people with yeast overgrowth in their intestines head straight for an oral anti fungal drug to treat themselves. The problem with oral anti fungal drugs is they wipe out all of the bacteria living in and on your body, and they can also weaken your immune system.

When an oral anti bacterial medicine wipes out every single bacteria in your intestines it leaves the environment in a perfect place for bad bacteria and yeasts to start breeding and mutating. This mutating yeast is what is causing your symptoms, so an anti bacterial medicine will only make your symptoms worse.

Your intestines should be populated with friendly bacteria to help battle the mutating fungus. If the balance gets too much in favor of the Candida then your infection becomes more difficult to successfully treat. If it's left long enough without the correct treatment your yeast infection can become systemic. This simply means it will find its way into your bloodstream, and begin infecting your internal organs.

The human body also needs a perfectly working immune system to help fight off the yeast infection. Anti bacterial drugs weaken the immune system so in the end you have a weaker immune system, and no friendly bacteria in your intestines. This is the reason why antibiotics are now the biggest cause of intestinal yeast infections.

A Candida infection in your intestines has be treated naturally, and alongside an anti yeast protocol. Even if you begin treating your infection naturally, and you make errors with what you eat and drink, or with your medication, you won't cure yourself.

If you're continually taking prescription drugs for an illness, and they have an effect on your immune system then your intestinal yeast infection will take longer to successfully treat. If you continue to eat a normal diet that contains foods that feed the mutated fungus then you'll never cure yourself.

Treating yourself naturally, and correctly will destroy the yeast, encourage the re-growth of friendly bacteria in your intestines, and also repair the cell damage caused by the mutated fungus.
