Does any one know if colon cleasning help with yeast infection if it kills it?

Candida is a medical condition characterized by mold inhabiting the body. In most cases, this mold originated in the colon, but it can grow out of control and harm other areas of the body as well. There are numerous symptoms of Candida that are commonly confused with other disorders. These symptoms include:

* Constipation
* Allergies to foods
* Brain 鈥渇og鈥?or inability to think clearly
* Chronic fatigue
* Indigestion and bloating
* Disorder to the immune system
* Oral thrush, which is a white film on the tongue or mouth
* Problems with the digestive system
* Itchy, red eyes
* Chronic drainage of the sinus that cannot be relieved with antibiotics
* Muscle and joint pain
* Abdominal pain
* Fungus on the toenails or fingernails
* Skin rashes
* Headaches
* Urinary infections that cannot be helped with antibiotics
* Weight loss or gain with no apparent ability to change it
* Low sex drive
* Hair loss
* Menstrual irregularities
* Depression

Reasons for the Negative Effects Candida has on the Body

Candida is harmful to your body because it robs it of essential nutrients. This is because it feeds off the food you eat, particularly the starches and sugars. This means your body does not benefit from the nutritional value of these foods.

As Candida consumes food like any other living organism, it also produces waste. This waste is toxic to your system and results in its many symptoms.
Getting Sick with Candida

Having a miniscule amount of Candida in your system is not a problem. In fact, we all have a little bit in our bodies and a small amount is actually beneficial. This is because Candida behaves as a natural antibiotic and helps to control the growth of harmful bacteria in the body. It is a delicate system of checks and balances preventing Candida from taking control. Bathing or swimming (and ingesting chlorinated water), or using antibiotics, however, can destroy larger amounts of the bacteria, allowing the Candida to win the battle.

This is why constipation is one of the most common symptom. By killing off the healthy bacteria within your colon and the rest of your digestive system, the mucus, sludge, and other waste in your colon is not adequately broken down and moved through your digestive system. The fact that Candida feeds off your body鈥檚 nutrients also makes your digestive system less powerful and effective when it comes to removing waste.

Acidophilous is a great help. You can get pills at your health food store. Get the ones you have to refigerate. Yogurt claims to have it, but you won't get what you need. It will help with both colon and yeast. You will feel great!

No. The so-called colon cleansing that is so popular today is designed to rid the gut of all toxins and bacteria. When that happens you have sent out an invitation to all the little yeasties to set up camp throughout the body. The gut contains good bacteria that is necessary for the body to have a healthy balance. The good bacteria, in healthy numbers, keeps the body free from the bad yeasties. When you decrease the bacteria (which happens when you take a lot of antibiotics), the yeasties take over and cause you to have all kinds of illnesses. You then have to replace the bacteria to restore balance. Taking a probiotic daily will maintain this balance. The best way to cleanse the colon is to eat a diet high in fiber, fluids (pref. juices and H20), and veggies on a daily basis. This regimen will keep your plumbing flowing smoothly.
