Candida spp

Candida spp includes various yeast-like fungi affecting body parts like the gut and vagina. These infections often cause itching, discomfort, and discharge. They result from flora imbalance. In the gut, Candida spp can disrupt digestion. This leads to bloating and changes in bowel habits. Diet, health, and antibiotics are contributing factors. Addressing these is crucial to restore balance and relieve symptoms.

  • Bloating and gas
  • Diarrhea or constipation

  • Nausea, occasionally
  • Fatigue and lethargy
  • Intestinal irritation or discomfort

What Is the Difference Between Candida Albicans and Candida spp.?

Candida albicans is a specific species of yeast, commonly found and known to cause infections. Candida spp. refers to the entire group of Candida species, encompassing various types that can be present in the gut. Testing for Candida spp. covers a broader range, identifying any Candida species present.

Why is it that Antibiotics can lead to Candida overgrowth?

Antibiotics can lead to Candida spp overgrowth because they disrupt the natural balance of gut flora. While targeting harmful bacteria, antibiotics can also eliminate beneficial bacteria, creating an environment where yeast-like Candida spp can proliferate unchecked.
