Candida is the common term for Candidiasis and basically means an overproduction of yeast in the body. It can cause many health problems, and one of them is acne. So while diet and nutrient-based anti-inflammatory measures often cure acne, but if you have Candida, you may not be able to get rid of 100% of your acne.
This is because Candida can actually cause a lot of hormonal inflammation. It binds to anti-inflammatory hormones and effectively inactivates them.
Candida can also disrupt the efficiency of the digestive system to such a great degree (by overwhelming it), that despite taking supplements, eating the right foods, and not eating the wrong foods, your digestive system simply can’t use all its good work. So, in this additional way, it further contributes to the inflammatory condition of the body that acne sufferers have.
Candida is present in very low amounts in our bodies, but its overproduction results in the chronic condition of candida that causes health problems.
Candida overproduction often results from the use of steroids (cortisones), birth control pills, antacid and anti-ulcer medications, not to mention antibiotics! It is also caused by the modern high-sugar diet, as candida yeast can easily feed on sugar, compared to other foods, and thus proliferate rapidly under conditions of a high-sugar diet.
In addition to acne, Candida has a wide variety of associated symptoms.
- facial rash
