Candida - Causes
What Are The Common Causes Of Candida and Thrush?
The causes of Candida and Thrush are not the same for each woman. Some women have Candida or Thrush due to a combination of causes.
Antibiotic use Causes Candida and Thrush
Antibiotics destroy both harmful bacteria and good bacteria. When antibiotics destroy friendly bacteria it gives the Candida a chance to begin to multiply.
Contraception Causes Candida and Thrush
Oral birth control pills are mostly the hormone estrogen. Supplemental estrogen in the synthetic form has been found to promote the growth of yeast. The copper IUD is another possible yeast promoter. Often copper IUD users develop excessive levels of copper in their tissues. Excess copper can depress the adrenal, thyroid and immune systems of the body. This can make it more difficult for the body to resist yeast.
Stress and Excess Cortisol Causes Candida and Thrush
Stress causes the release of the hormone CORTISOL . Cortisol can depress the immune system and also raise blood sugar. The elevation in blood sugar can feed the yeast cells allowing them to grow quickly. The depression in immune function will leave the body defenseless against the sudden elevation in yeast. Stress is key in triggering symptoms. It has long been recognized that stress plays a part in lowering the immune function of the body. Simply being over-worked, over- tired, or over-stressed will cause an increase in Candida and therefore its symptoms.
Testing for cortisol can be done with the Adrenocortex Stress Test.
Drinking Tap Water Causes Candida and Thrush
Common tap water is high in chlorine which has been found to destroy friendly intestinal bacteria. This will allow Candida to grow as covered earlier.
Parasites and Intestinal Worms Cause Candida and Thrush
Parasites and intestinal worms are more common than you may think. Some researchers have estimated that over 85% of all people living in Australia have parasites that destroy friendly bacteria in the intestines making yeast overgrowth possible. Parasites can be detected by a Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis.
Constipation Causes Candida and Thrush
Constipation can be caused by Candida. However constipation can also lead to Candida. If one does not have Candida and then becomes constipated for any reason, Candida may begin to grow. A digestive tract which is constipated is slow moving and becomes very alkaline. An alkaline environment is exactly what Candida does best in. The more alkaline the digestive tract the happier the Candida becomes. It does not matter what causes the constipation. Constipation for any reason can easily cause Candida.
Drugs, Alcohol and Environmental Toxins Cause Candida and Thrush
Excess alcohol can directly destroy friendly bacteria and allow yeast to grow. Beer can be a particular problem not because of the yeast but because of its maltose content. Maltose is a sugar that is derived from malt. Malt sugar is very potent and can feed yeast cells very quickly. People with Candida also tend to develop allergies to all yeast products whether the yeast is healthy or not. This does not mean that hard spirits or wine in excess are any safer. Alcohol should always be used in moderation. Drugs can also cause yeast overgrowth particularly if they disturb the digestive system. Any medication or drug that can cause a gastrointestinal side effect may cause yeast growth by disturbing friendly bacteria.
The environment you live in can play a big role if one is exposed to toxic metals, fumes, smoke, pollution, and in direct contact with various chemicals. The immune system can become overloaded and therefore further dip which will allow more yeast to grow.
Immmune Deficiency Causes Candida and Thrush
Any condition that results in a weakened immune system can bring about Candida.
Hormone Imbalance Causing Candida and Thrush
It has long been recognised that hormone imbalance such as estrogen, progesterone and thyroid hormones can be a factor in yeast overgrowth. In order to support friendly intestinal flora, adequate amounts of these hormones are needed.
Any upset in this balance can cause yeast overgrowth. The hormonal imbalance must be corrected after the yeast has been reduced or relapse is sure to occur.
