The small intestine, housing a more fluid chyme, does not become so caked with old fecal matter as it does with mucus. This also encourages Candida proliferation. Penetration of Candida filaments from within the intestinal cavity through the intestinal wall destroys the integrity of the membrane system. Under the anaerobic conditions within the putrid coating of the intestinal wall, Candida itself will produce a number of toxic elements by fermenting refined carbohydrates, lactose and other sugars. One poison so produced is acetaldehyde, which is known to inactivate enzymes leading to a variety of disease manifestations.
Food allergies are a very common symptom of Candidiasis.
Penetration of Candida filaments through the intestinal wall can also lead to the introduction of Candida itself into the bloodstream. Prognosis With effective treatment, a myriad of symptoms will often improve or disappear altogether. Allergies and fatigue are good examples. Many people, however, must continue therapy on a maintenance dose for extended periods, or even life, due to a previous irreversible damage to their immune and other systems. People with Candidiasis have it because their systems were previously weakened by other factors.
