Candida (Yeast) & Parasite Issues
Candida, full name Candida albicans, is a microorganism that lives in our gastrointestinal tracts. The candida population is held in check by the multiple billions of bacteria that share space with it. When the population of bacteria plummets, most commonly after a broad-spectrum antibiotic is taken for an extended period, overgrowth of candida can occur.
