Candida is a type of yeast that naturally lives on the skin and in the mouth, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. In most people, it exists in balance with other microorganisms and is a normal part of the body’s microbiome. However, factors such as antibiotic use, prolonged stress, a diet high in refined sugars, hormonal changes, or changes in immune function may allow Candida to grow beyond its normal levels.
Depending on where the overgrowth occurs, symptoms can include oral thrush, vaginal yeast infections, skin irritation, digestive discomfort, bloating, fatigue, or recurring infections. Because many of these symptoms can have multiple causes, a thorough evaluation is important to identify the factors that may be contributing to ongoing health concerns.
