When a person suffers with a candida overgrowth, there is generally more than one candida symptom to look out for. An infection usually creates multiple symptoms, which may seem unrelated to a yeast infection, and this can make it harder for it to be diagnosed.

Candida normally resides in the moist and warm areas of the body, and an infection will generally occur in the mouth, vagina, nose or the respiratory system, although it can sometimes also attack the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract too.

The symptoms that are often associated with candida are:

1. Feeling drained and fatigued

2. Abdominal pain, bloating usually accompanied by diarrhea or constipation. This is mostly linked to the release of carbon dioxide and alcohol when the candida yeast ferments sugar.

3. There seems to often be an increased sensitivity to antigens, so that a person reacts to food and airborne particles that they would have previously not had a reaction to. This can cause inflammation, and effect other organs in the body.

4. There can be damage to the bowel wall, which may lead to “leaky gut”, which can cause additional toxins to be released into the bloodstream, as well as cause food intolerance and effect the bodies ability to absorb nutrients.

Also, candida has been shown to release a cocktail of dozens of toxins, that can have many different effects on the body and the major organ’s, including auto immune disorders, metabolic abnormalities and even psychological problems.

Other symptoms that can be a more obvious sign of candida infections include:

– Patches of skin that are irritated, and there may be evidence of white pustules

– Vaginal itching and a burning sensation and its often painful to have intercourse. There may also be a ‘white, thick, cheesy’ discharge and unusual menstrual cramping and pain.

– Urinary tract infections that keep reoccurring, even after treatment

– Feeling pain when urinating

– There may be visible mucus in the stool

– Difficulty swallowing

– Bleeding gums, a dry or cracked tongue and a dry mouth

– Heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion

– A loss of concentration, headaches, depression and sometimes mood swings and anxiety.

– There can also be swelling and pain in the joints

This is not a full and comprehensive list of symptoms, as others become apparent as infection progresses that are more severe.

If you suspect that you have a candida infection then you should make an appointment to see a medical professional. Although, ensure that you have kept a close track of the symptoms you have been experiencing, as there are a number of other conditions that can cause many of the same symptoms of candida, and a wrong diagnosis can lead to a worsening infection.

No diagnosis can be made if only one candida symptom is considered on its own. The sufferer needs to be clear about all their symptoms to ensure an effective diagnosis.
