Candida overgrowth is a fungus in the digestive system. Many species of candida are found in the gut, but some such as candida albicans, can cause infection, especially in patients with a compromised immune system or those taking antibiotics or birth control pills.
Candida, or Candida-related complex (CRC), is often overlooked or misunderstood by many practitioners. Yet, it is only one of a multitude of unhealthy contaminants of the intestinal tract that may contribute to chronic illness or impede healing. Since 80% of the immune system is in the gut, it is important to restore your gut to healthy flora levels and get back on the path to wellness.
There is a relationship between candida and candida- related-complex as an impediment to healing and its role in chronic illness. The symptoms of candida may be subtle or mimic other conditions but since Candida-related complex compromises the immune system one may experience a multitude of symptoms.
