So what exactly is yeast intolerance? Well, people intolerant to yeast suffer from an overgrowth of candida yeast. Normally a person's amount of yeast is kept in check through other beneficial bacteria in the body. Unfortunately for some people this is not the case and can lead to a number of health issues if not treated.
So what can cause someone to be yeast intolerant? There are a number of things that can trigger an overgrowth of candida. One of these things includes taking multiple antibiotic medicines which can kill off the bacteria that controls our production of yeast. Another culprit is having bad digestion due to some other type of intolerance (wheat or gluten). Also don't discount diet as poor nutrition can weaken one's immune system making handling the toxins that an overgrowth of yeast produces extremely difficult.
If you start to exhibit a number of the following symptoms you may want to get yourself checked out. The things to look out for include:
Fatigue after eating
Bloating or gas
Furry Tongue
Constantly craving sugary foods
Stuffiness and congestion
Mouth Ulcers
Heartburn
Lightheadedness
Skin abnormalities
One of the best ways to easily cure the symptoms brought on by intolerance to yeast is through sticking to a yeast free diet. Usually after a few weeks your symptoms will begin to disappear. Just be aware that in the short term after starting a yeast free diet you may experience some new symptoms. This is just a part of the normal process and is nothing to get alarmed about. As the yeast in your body dies off it begins to release toxins. Any negative affects should pass in a few days' time and then you'll be better than ever. The best part is as long as you stay on this type of regime you'll be able to lead a much happier and proactive life.
