Candida is a yeast that naturally lives in small amounts in your gut, mouth, and vagina. Overgrowth - typically triggered by antibiotics, a high-sugar diet, or immune suppression - causes digestive symptoms, fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and vaginal thrush. Candida overgrowth symptoms overlap significantly with IBS and histamine intolerance, making it frequently misdiagnosed. A healthy and diverse microbiome naturally keeps Candida populations in check.
