The PCR Candida Profile from YourGutMap offers a scientifically grounded analysis of Candida overgrowth, empowering individuals with actionable treatment plans to restore gut balance and improve overall health.
Gastrointestinal (GI) Candida overgrowth, often referred to as candidiasis, occurs when a yeast-like fungus grows excessively in the digestive tract. This can happen when the balance of bacteria and yeast in the gut is disrupted. Factors such as antibiotic use, a diet high in sugar, stress, or changes to the immune system may contribute to this imbalance.
Symptoms of GI Candida Overgrowth:
Bloating and Gas: Excess yeast can produce gases, leading to bloating and discomfort.
Diarrhoea or Constipation: Changes in gut flora can lead to irregular bowel movements.
Abdominal Pain or Cramps: Irritation caused by the overgrowth can result in stomach pain and cramping.
Nausea: Overgrowth may lead to nausea, especially after eating.
Cravings for Sugar and Carbohydrates: Gut imbalances may increase cravings for sugary or starchy foods.
Fatigue and Brain Fog: Candida overgrowth may contribute to low energy levels and difficulty concentrating.
