Candida Albicans Thrush – Are You Sick?

A common problem is Candida albicans thrush. This fungus is generally found in the mucus membranes and within the G.I. tract. It is generally considered a natural part of your body’s flora and is often found on or in the genitals, anus, and mouth. It will also occasionally move through the blood to other areas of the body. Thrush needs moist conditions to thrive on the skin and is relatively healthy to have in moderate amounts.

When something changes in your body chemistry, such as major fluctuations in hormones or a round of antibiotics are taken, Candida albicans can grow at an uncontrolled rate. This is what causes the infection and the many problems of thrush. Thrush can be visible as white clumps, itching, and discomfort throughout the area.

Often, Candida albicans thrush is referred to as Monilia, especially when infection occurs in or around the mouth. Whenever there is too much yeast in a region of the body an infection can occur. Yeast cells generally colonize in typical areas in the body, in particular, the mouth, intestines, and genital regions. There are a few major factors that can cause this imbalance to occur.

The most common causes of thrush are the overuse of antibiotics without repopulating the body with probiotics, once the round of antibiotics has been completed. Antibiotics kill the friendly, yeast regulating bacteria in your body. Unfortunately, it kills the good bacteria as well as the bad, but does nothing to kill yeast cells. This then can allow Candida yeast to flourish unregulated, since there is nothing to keep the yeast in check. The most common overgrowth occurs within the mouth and the vagina. This happens because of the warmth, darkness, and moisture in these areas.

Candida Albicans is called thrush only when it occurs in the mouth. It is most often found in the mouths of infants. Once the mouth is infected it can spread to the esophagus and digestive tract. Rarely, it can infect other bodily systems. When it spreads, it is usually due to a compromised immune system due to other health conditions which inhibit the immune system.

The symptoms of Candida albicans thrush are a white residue, usually clumpy, red or bleeding patches of skin, and itching on the tongue, gums, and other mouth surfaces. Most experienced doctors can pick thrush up on sight. Cultures are taken to identify the type and to treat the particular type that is present. When the culture comes back positive for Monilia the doctor will normally treat it with a prescription antifungal. However, these often aren’t enough to keep Candida from coming back.

Treatment for thrush requires over the counter medications for the most part. More severe, topical cases are usually treated with either a prescription antifungal ointment. If you have thrush due to using antibiotics, stopping the medication can work to clear it up and is often the first recommendation. However, it is valuable to know what keeps Candida yeast alive which is sugar. Avoiding sugar for a period of time will effectively kill it but that is only the first step. The next step is to repopulate your body with friendly bacteria, or probiotics, which will work to keep any future yeast from overpopulating.

Thrush is not a complex problem and is often just due to slight changes in diet and lifestyle. Normally it will go away with time and some medication. If it is a reoccurring problem, it is something to be taken more seriously and the anti Candida diet is recommended along with the ebook Yeast Infection No More. This will ensure that Candidiasis will no longer come back since it is a thorough Candida cleansing program that truly works to make sure all of the problematic Candida overgrowth within the gut is destroyed and that the body is replenished with the friendly bacteria to maintain perpetual balance.
