Yeast Overgrowth Cure

In every body, there is a balance of good as well as bad bacteria in the intestinal track. One of the main causes of yeast overgrowth, medically known as candidiasis, is when taking antibiotics, the antibiotic can destroy the good as well as the bad bacteria which allows yeast to grow. Yeast infections can affect any organ in the body but most commonly will attack the digestive system and the vagina.

  1. Symptoms of a Yeast Infection

    • Symptoms of a yeast infection can appear in any part of the body and some of the most common symptoms are: bladder infections, extreme itching and burning accompanied by discharge and odor. Toe nails or fingernails often show what appears to be pockets under or beside the nail.

    Prescription Medications

    • While learning to control your diet to kill candidiasis, there are several prescription medications available for treating yeast infections and in some cases, these may be the only option to completely eradicate the infection. Consult your physician to determine what the best course of treatment may be. For vaginal infections, physicians recommend Monastat 7 Day treatment which originally was available by prescription only but now can be purchased over the counter. If the directions are followed, the condition will clear up at the end of the treatment.

    Cure Yeast Infections thru Diet

    • To keep the proper balance of good bacteria in the body, you should restrict your intake of foods containing sugar, the main factor in the growth of candidiasis, for at least three months. While this may be difficult to do it is necessary to kill off bacteria. Substitute artificial sweeteners in your drinks and food. Garlic is a cure all for any internal ailment in the body and has been used for centuries. Adding a dosage of 600-900 milligrams of garlic is an effective treatment for candidiasis infections and can be purchased over-the-counter.
