Candidia

I have been having a lot of trouble with my stomach since returning back to Louisiana. At first I thought it was because I am not able to find enough organic foods here as I was in Texas. Now this could be part of it, but I'm finding that even after eating only organic greens and some fruit that I am still having major problems. One of the problems I have is Candida. My stomach swells up with gas and anything I eat produces this.
Some may not know or understand what Candida is and I will try to explain. Wikipedia explains it like this: Candida is a genus of yeasts, which can cause infections (called candidiasis or thrush) in humans. About explains it better: Candida albicans is a yeast that normally resides in the body in the digestive tract and vagina. Candida levels are kept in check by the immune system and beneficial probiotic bacteria in the body.Some alternative practitioners believe that overgrowth of candida albicans yeast in the intestines is responsible for a yeast syndrome that results in symptoms such as fatigue, headache, mood swings, sinus congestion, depression, poor memory and concentration, and cravings for sweets.

I had always thought that sweets caused this to rear its ugly head but since reading Frederic Patenaude's thoughts on this I have reconsidered.
