I have done alot of reading about candida albicans -- the one cell fungus that is always present in your intestines and genital tracts.
It only becomes a problems when it gets out of balance and can affect various parts of the body --- because of the many and varied symptoms that out of balance can cause--- it is frequently not diagnosed correctly.
I have never heard of candidiasis being related to stress or anxiety. But since diet can mess up friendly bacteria by binge eating -- too much sugary food can cause a problems as well as too much salty food.
Dee,
The way Candidiasis is diagnosed is by the symptoms!! The problem is there are many and various symptoms-- and it is very frequently misdiagnosed....
There are a number of books written about yeast infections!!!
