Candida Yeast Infection

Candidiasis: "Candidiasis is a condition that results when the friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract have been destroyed or overcome. Yeast organisms (which are always present in the body, but are kept under control by good bacteria) get out of balance and grow unchecked. Candidiasis is also known as a 'Yeast Infection' or 'Candida Albicans'. Most people experience simple yeast infections at one time or another. Early manifestations may be a vaginal yeast infection, a rash (like diaper rash), athletes' foot, or oral thrush (yeast rash inside the mouth). These are so common they are often referred to as 'JUST a little yeast infection'. However, if these 'minor' infections are not cured and recurrences prevented, the yeast may invade the bloodstream and spread throughout the entire body."
