How a Toxic Colon Can Lead to Candida
In recent years people have been questioning how a toxic colon leads to candida. Actually, while a candida infection is harmful, there are normally candida living in the intestines and if they don’t over populate all is well. At this point it is wise to remember that there are ‘good bacteria’ residing in the intestines and this good stuff is necessary for digestion and elimination of food and waste.
The problem is that when our colons become toxic due to a build up of undigested foods and fecal matter, the bad guys take over and the good stuff is rendered helpless. This is where a toxic colon can lead to an over population of candida.
Most guys think that candida is a problem that only females are prone to. Wrong! While it is true that a candida infection in the urinary tract is more prevalent in women than in men, there are other parts of the body that are susceptible to candida infections as well. First of all, if there is an over population of candida in the intestines, they secrete waste known as myotoxins.
One of the myotoxins is acetaldehyde that is then changed to alcohol by the liver which in turn causes a foggy, sluggish mental capacity. Candida also secretes an acid that is known to be one of the causes of leaky gut syndrome. The acid eats a hole in the lining of the intestines and a whole new set of issues arise.
So, it is not exactly accurate to say that a toxic colon can lead to candida. It is more accurate to say that a toxic colon can allow for candida to overpopulate causing a number of often severe issues.
