subject: Treatment For Yeast Infections 4 Things To Do [print this page] Once yeast infection signs have been identified in the intestinal area, there are a number of treatment methods that can cure the condition and soothe your discomfort. Many of these treatments are completely natural, and do not require the use of harmful or risky medications.
The symptoms of candidiasis usually overlap with the symptoms of many other diseases. That is the reason why it is so difficult to diagnose and in many cases misdiagnosed by medical professionals.
The condition is known by a number of names i.e. yeast overgrowth, Candidiasis or candida albicans and causes systemic illnesses that produce a wide variety of symptoms. In most cases people complain that they are "feeling sick all over" and that is then also the reason why it is so easily misdiagnosed and mistreated. In many cases medical professionals will listen to the patient's complaints and prescribe anti-depressants!
Perhaps the best description of the problem is by this doctor from California who says: "The vast majority of conventional doctors do not believe in the possibility of a systemic overgrowth of the common fungus Candida albicans, let alone know about self-care treatments for the problem."
Common treatment options include:
1. A special diet that is low in sugar and consists of complex carbohydrates and fresh vegetables.
2. Dietary supplements that include probiotics and digestive enzymes which combat the yeast overgrowth.
3. Activities that can reduce stress, such as meditation.
4. Anti-fungal medication might be prescribed in extreme cases.
Other medications or treatment methods may be advised in order to treat the symptoms and side effects of an intestinal Candida infection.
Although additional treatments such as antacids and anti-diarrhoea medication may treat symptoms temporarily, they will do nothing to cure the yeast infection itself.
If you suffer from intestinal Candida symptoms the 5-step plan is very successful in combating the consequences of candidiasis and works much better than any conventional treatments. It is also safe, have no side effects and can be done from home. The 5 steps are as follows:
