LGS and Candida

Esophageal Candida Symptoms
There are several forms of yeast infection, esophageal being one of them. Throat or esophagus yeast infections are not common in otherwise healthy people; rather they tend to occur in patients with weakened immune systems and are particularly a problem patients with HIV or AIDS face. It is possible to have esophageal candida symptoms without oral or mouth ones, but it is not common. Usually a person who develops esophageal candida symptoms has already shown Thrush symptoms also. Here is some further information about these symptoms and what you can do about them.
Eczema and the Overgrowth of Candida Albicans
Candida albicans can cause so many health problems if you have a problem with overgrowth. The toxins the fungus releases can trigger symptoms in such a large range that often there can be miss-diagnosis at the doctors, and in patients other than those with compromised immune systems, internal candida overgrowth as a condition is still not something many doctors accept or will diagnose. However some suggest there are links between candida overgrowth and many other conditions such as IBS, cancer, psoriasis, acne, depression, autism to name but a few. There is also some claim, a link between eczema and the overgrowth of candida albicans, which is what we will focus on in this article.
