Candida and Gluten
There are many health issues that some are saying can be linked to Candida overgrowth because of the kind of damage it can do and how much of the body it can affect. One of the links being made is between Candida and gluten, with the idea that candida overgrowth can cause gluten intolerance, and anti-candida diets often suggest removing gluten from the diet short term at least. This article looks at how candida and gluten may be linked, what gluten is, and the symptoms they have in common.
Candida Arthritis
When talking about Candida Arthritis there are a couple of things to look at, septic arthritis caused by disseminated or invasive candidiasis and the link between Candida and Rheumatoid Arthritis. This article is focused in the former of these two conditions. Candida is a pathological fungus that most people associate with yeast infections, in particular the vaginal yeast infection. However it can cause other health problems and in people with weak immune systems and people in critical care in hospital it has a much more serious impact on a person’s health.
Rectal Yeast Infection
Yeast infections are very annoying health problems for both men and women and occur when candida which already lives on you, multiplies into numbers too high for a body to deal with. It can happen anywhere but like any fungus, candida particularly likes and thrives in environments that are warm and moist. That is why the vaginal yeast infection is the most common type, but also why rectal yeast infections can also occur. There are however a number of reasons for rectal itching, it is an area that has constant contact with feces and can be irritated easily from wiping. If you do have rectal itching you should seek a proper medical diagnosis rather than assuming it is rectal yeast infection.
Pseudomembranous Candidiasis
There are several common forms a yeast infection can occur in, and one of them is oral
Candidiasis or a mouth yeast infection. However within an oral candidiasis there are several main types, Acute atrophic candidiasis, Median rhomboid glossitis, Chronic hyperplastic candidiasis, Chronic atrophic candidiasis, Angular cheilitis, Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and the area we are exploring today, Acute pseudomembranous candidiasis.
Having a Yeast Infection and Rhino-Sinusitis
Rhino-sinusitis is also called a sinus infection or just sinusitis. It refers to when the nasal passages of the nose and the sinuses become swollen or inflamed. When talking about a yeast infection and rhino-sinusitis we are referring to chronic sinusitis rather than acute sinusitis, as the acute condition is caused by bacteria not fungi. The differences between the two apart from the causing micro-organism are that acute happens only up to three times a year and obviously can be treated with antibiotics. When an acute infection occurs it will last for one to two weeks. A chronic infection however is for or more times in a year as it is a recurring problem and symptoms unfortunately last a lot longer, 3 weeks or more even. Because it is a yeast infection and rhino-sinusitis antibiotics do not work as a treatment.
