Our intestines hold hundreds of millions of good bacteria who assist in digestion by breaking down the food components and helping absorption of nutrients by the walls of the intestine.
An overgrowth of a certain type of yeast can disrupt this process by destroying these useful bacteria, thus resulting in improper digestion and hence lesser absorption of nutrients by the intestines, further leading to extreme weight loss, poor nutrition and other major complications.
The signs and symptoms of an intestinal yeast infection are mainly malnutrition and fatigue due to the lack of proper nutrition causing the problem in the beginning.
The most common symptoms and signs of an intestinal yeast infection can be listed as chronic fatigue, extreme lethargy and depression after eating, intestinal cramps and lumps, bad diarrhea followed by constipation, acidity and heartburn, itching bowels, frequent urinary infections, mood swings and fogging of brain, memory loss, frequent seasonal infections and usually low immunity, horrible post-menstrual syndrome, fungal infections of the skin, lesser tolerance to alcohol, etc.
The yeast inside the intestine makes a person crave for such foods and they become especially tough to control if the person has an intestinal infection.
Up to date medicine does not recognize this ailment and thus offers no supportive or corrective measures for intestinal yeast infection, however it can easily be treated by oneself by watching the food you eat and regulating the enzymes you intake.
Be certain that if you think you are suffering from a yeast infection to seek medical attention immediately.
Yeast infections are pretty common and very curable therefore it is best to treat the infection right away before the symptoms become worse and complications begin to arise.
