YEAST FUNGUS IN THE INTESTINE: WHAT TO DO ABOUT INTESTINAL FUNGUS?


Table of contents

1 What is an intestinal yeast infection?

Our intestinal mucosa is populated by a large number of microorganisms. Even a healthy gut is home to trillions of bacteria and fungi. Experts estimate that around 70 percent of all people have yeast in their gut1 - most of them without suffering from any symptoms.

Researchers have discovered that even 96% of all infants have yeast fungi in their gut.2 No wonder: the conditions in the gut are ideal for fungi: they love it moist, warm and find all the nutrients they need in the gut.

2 How does an intestinal yeast infection develop?

A yeast infection in the gut is nothing unusual at first - and not necessarily dangerous to health. This is because in a healthy gut, the fungi are kept under control by other microorganisms. It only becomes problematic when the fungus has multiplied to such an extent that it unbalances the intestinal flora and causes inflammation in the intestine. Doctors then speak of an intestinal fungal infection or colon mycosis.
This often occurs when the immune system is weakened or the intestinal flora has been disturbed by the administration of antibiotics. A diet with a high sugar content can also favor the yeast fungus in the intestine, as the fungus feeds on sugar. This allows the fungus to spread and further displace the good intestinal bacteria. These can no longer properly fulfill their important tasks in the organism. This can affect digestion and other areas - for example our immune system.

3. what are the symptoms of a yeast infection in the gut?

The symptoms of a yeast infection in the intestine can be very varied. Typical symptoms are, for example
  • Persistent or recurring digestive problems such as diarrhea and flatulence
  • Digestive problems after eating sweet foods
  • Itching in the anal area or in the genital area
  • Nutrient deficiency, especially iron and zinc deficiency, as the fungus makes absorption more difficult
  • Whitish coating on the tongue (oral thrush)
  • Constant tiredness
If the yeast fungus has spread in the intestine, it can also spread to other areas of the body. Fungal infections on the tongue and vaginal yeast infections are particularly common.

4. what to do about yeast in the intestine?

Most intestinal fungi are caused by a Candida infection - the yeast Candida albicans, also known as thrush, is responsible.

Such an infection can be detected by a fecal, saliva or blood sample. However, even a negative result cannot completely rule out a yeast infestation, as the fungi can be unevenly distributed in the stool. In severe cases, the doctor may prescribe antimycotics such as Nystatin for drug treatment. These drugs kill the fungus. However, there are also home remedies that can be used to support the treatment of yeast in the intestines:


Coconut oil: the oil from the coconut contains caprylic acid and lauric acid, which can fight fungus.


Apple cider vinegar: This home remedy is effective against harmful bacteria and is said to strengthen and maintain healthy intestinal flora.


Garlic: A study has shown that the active ingredient allicin contained in garlic has a positive effect against the Candida Albicans fungus.3


Intestinal fungus diet: A key measure against yeast fungus in the intestine is diet. So what can and cannot be eaten with yeast fungus? In order to deprive the fungus of its food, sugar, sweets and white flour should be consistently avoided for a few weeks. Instead, you should eat lots of probiotic foods such as yogurt, sour milk and kefir. Capsules with probiotics such as PROBIOLIFE probiotics can also support the intestinal fungus diet.

Intestinal cleansing: To support the healing process, an intestinal cleansing can be carried out with subsequent intestinal cleansing. This helps the intestinal flora to regain its balance.

A long-term change in diet with an anti-fungal diet is highly advisable for patients with intestinal fungus - because even if medication kills the fungus, it can spread again quickly after therapy if it has good conditions.

Conclusion: Effective solutions for yeast in the gut

Yeast fungi in the gut are completely natural - as long as they don't get out of hand. The best protection against candidiasis is a healthy intestinal flora. A wholesome diet with plenty of fiber and probiotics and, above all, little sugar, white flour and alcohol can control intestinal fungi. After taking antibiotics, the intestinal flora should be built up to prevent a fungal infection.
