COULD IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) CELIACS AND OTHER BOWEL PROBLEMS BE RELATED TO CANDIDA OVERGROWTH

Candida is a common yeast or fungus that lives naturally in our gut breaking down sugars it feeds mostly on sucrose ( cane sugar  found in most refined foods ) but when allowed to can get out of control in your body(Gastrointestinal Candidiasis or G.I.C )  can cause serious health issues  

THIS IS USUALLY CAUSED BY A WESTERN DIET, LIFESTYLE AND MEDICATIONS ABOUT 90% OF WESTERNERS CAN HAVE CANDIDA OVERGROWTH PROBLEMS

THE CANDIDA CONNECTION TO IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS) AND THE GUT

Candida overgrowth and irritable bowel syndrome

 Candida overgrowth may lead to leaky gut syndrome which may lead to candida and other toxins spreading through the body.

Intestinal mucous membrane changes and defective intestinal flora are known as Dysbiosis .

The intestinal flora, comprising some billions of bacteria, forms a fine film on the inside of the intestines most nutrients must pass through this flora, which alters and filters food.

This bacterial colonization has grown up along with evolution, and has, adapted itself to the interests of the body as a whole.

 When the intestinal flora are not intact, e.g. due to treatment with antibiotics, or ingestion of food which has itself been treated with antibiotics,  or a diet high in cane sugar , then the intestinal mucous membrane's absorptive abilities become impaired this end result is known as Leaky Gut Syndrome.

The digestion of food and bowel activity is also directly affected by the good bacteria in the intestines and if they are out of balance so will the digestive system in general.

Candida and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Symptoms

• Diarrhea
• Abdominal cramps
• Gas
• Rectal itching

As you can see, some of the symptoms of candida overgrowth may match those of irritable bowel syndrome.

If you have these symptoms you may be unsure what is irritable bowel syndrome and what is candida.

The diets for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and candida are also similar in many ways, by controlling candida through an achievable diet and by cleansing and repairing the gut with specific bacteria’s long term results may be obtained. 

 I believe any gut problem will never be fully addressed without making sure candida overgrowth is under control.

Candida and Inflammatory Bowel Disease IBD

IBD has been connected to candida overgrowth showing  when fungi overgrowth becomes systemic a vicious cycle of intestinal mucosal injury, impaired digestion, malabsorption, bacterial overgrowth, and increase in bacterial by-products and mucous production, can lead back to further intestinal mucosal injury and may lead to IBD.

  When antibiotics are taken for various purposes the normal, protective bacteria are eliminated, and candida overgrowth goes unchecked.

The resulting effects can range from mild diarrhea to severe colitis, or systemic fungal or bacterial dissemination and gut inflammation. 

Antibiotic use has preceded Crohn’s disease in many cases. 

 Carbohydrates may be a possible culprit studies found the average intake of carbohydrates (including bread, potatoes, and refined sugars) to be much greater in those who developed IBD than in those who did not, this may be because cane sugar feeds candida.

Yeast and fungal toxins, called mycotoxins, may help cause  Crohn’s disease people with Crohn’s often have aflatoxin, a  mycotoxin made by Aspergillus molds,  this was lower in their blood while following a  yeast-free diet, specifically avoiding baker’s and brewer’s yeasts ,disease activity in patients with IBD was therefore lowered. 

 Candida overgrowth may invade the intestinal wall, and the immune system responds with inflammation.

The problem is that the Candida suppresses the immune system's offensive weapons, so the Candida stays and the inflammation is prolonged.

This prolonged inflammation may produce symptoms of ulcerative colitis if it occurs in the large intestine and symptoms of Crohn's disease if it occurs in the small intestine.

These disorders may be due to prolonged inflammation resulting from the immune system's inability to clear Candida.

These inflammatory bowel diseases are very serious but the implication that candida may be connected is worth considering, the medications used to treat these conditions may increase candida overgrowth and its control may well be worth a try.  

CANDIDA CELIACS AND GLUTEN INTOLERANCE 

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease in which a T-cell mediated immune response results in damage to the tissue of the small intestine.

 This reaction is triggered by the ingestion of gluten, a protein found in grains, predominantly wheat, barley and rye. 

Research has shown that a protein found in the cell wall of Candida is very similar to gluten.

 As a result, the immune system can confuse gluten found in grains for the cell wall of Candida and mount a response against the gluten .

The immune cell bound gluten then damages the small intestinal wall as in Celiac disease. 

Mycotoxins are connected to candida overgrowth and commonly found in grain supplys these can suppress our normal immune function and may lead to inflammation reactions.  

Lower levels of Aspergillus molds in Celiac patients blood while following a yeast-free diet, specifically avoiding bakers and brewer’s yeasts has shown lowered gluten sensitivity and therefore disease activity.

 So could Candida overgrowth be one cause of Celiac disease and could controlling candida overgrowth do more than just suppress the symptoms or “manage” the disease but may give long term results. 

Some of the symptoms of candida overgrowth are similar to celiacs and the effect of candida on the immune system is apparent.

So how are the diets related the candida control plan will cut out any cane sugar this will make a combination of the two diets a bit harder at first but as candida is controlled gluten products may be reintroduced slowly and the effects monitored, this may be a better alternative to a lifetime on the gluten free diet. 

Hemorrhoids and Bowel fissures

The lower bowel dose a great job of excreting waste and has a big job to do,to allow it to do this job properly it requires stools to be of a reasonable consistency , the intestines to send them through regularly , and the mucus linings to be in good condition.

 This is not going to happen if candida is out of control . 

Candida overgrowth may deplete the mucus linings and damage such as bowel fissures and hemorrhoids may occur.

Candida overgrowth and irritable bowel have been discussed this will give the alternating constipation and diarrhea that may strain muscles and also cause damage.

These problems as many others need to addressed from the inside out and a long term solution is better than short term fixes which may also cause further candida overgrowth. 

Remember Alternative Medicine can work in with Western medicine

GENERAL INFO 

Gluten intolerance known as Sprue is caused by a reaction to a protein particle called gluten that exists in certain grains. This allergic-type reaction leads to inflammation and often severe symptoms in not only the intestines but also the entire body. Conventional treatment therefore involves suppressing the inflammation and symptoms with anti-inflammatory medications. It also requires the avoidance of these particular grains. Ironically, corn is a grain that does not contain gluten

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, although distinguished by well-known characteristics, are collectively known as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). IBD is characterized by a host of symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, rectal bleeding, weight loss, fever, and a host of extra-intestinal symptoms, including disorders of the eyes, liver, gallbladder, muscles and joints, kidneys, and skin.1 The treatments usually focus on relief of symptoms with anti-inflammatory drugs or surgery (i.e. removal of the affected part of the intestines). The cause of IBD remains “unknown.”
