Having to deal with an intestinal yeast infection is not a pleasant thing. The problem occurs when you try to get rid of the excess yeast fungus in your body. Unfortunately, most OTC drugs do not work to get rid of yeast overgrowth.
This situation is happening and because most of the people rush to the pharmacy and buy an oral anti-fungal, often without any medical consultation, which simply wipe out all the good bacteria from their intestines. Keeping a good balance of good bacteria inside your body, especially the digestive tract, is primarily for avoiding developing chronic and systemic yeast infections.
Anti-fungals are not the only ones who can cause you intestinal Candida. Most of the antibiotics can do this as well as a poor diet. Both have the effect of weakening your immune system which in turns cannot fight anymore the so called “bad bacteria”. The result is an overwhelming growth of yeast bacteria inside your digestive tract. Later, it can leak into your blood stream, a phenomenon called leaky gut.
There good news is that you can prevent this happening by following some simple home remedies. One of the best cure for intestinal yeast overgrowth is a simple unsweetened yogurt, eaten every day. This will help to restore your internal balance. Also, a good tip is to eat one yogurt daily if you take antibiotics treatment.
Another good but overlooked natural remedy for intestinal yeast is acidophilus. This have the function to repopulate the digestive tract with good bacteria. Most of the time you can find to buy it on natural food stores. Also you can ask a naturopath how much is better for your particular situation to take per day. The quantity and length of treatment will vary depending of your condition.
