Candida

When the Candida fungus multiplies uncontrollably, it results in symptoms of a Candida infection. A whitish coating forms in the mouth, feeling furry and easily wiped away. Wiping it away reveals the underlying inflamed mucous membrane, which may be red and can bleed in some areas. Affected individuals often complain of bad breath and an altered sense of taste.

A Candida infection is caused by an overgrowth of the Candida albicans fungus. The causes for this uncontrolled growth can be diverse (multifactorial) and mutually influence each other. Factors such as nutrition, the degree of toxicity, and oral bacterial flora all play a role.

An oral bacterial flora with a high number of disease-causing microorganisms can favor the proliferation of Candida, leading to the development of oral thrush. It is advisable to build and maintain a healthy oral flora.

A diet rich in sugar and gluten-containing foods promotes the formation of oral thrush. Try to eliminate foods with sugar and gluten from your diet.

People with high toxicity levels often suffer from uncontrolled Candida infections. It is advisable to undergo a comprehensive detoxification of the body under the guidance of an experienced physician.

Both chemical and natural antibiotics can negatively affect the bacteria in the body and should be avoided if possible. Bacteria play a crucial role as placeholders, preventing the proliferation of fungi or parasites. Antibiotic substances can disrupt the microbiome in the mouth and gut, allowing Candida to take over.

If the body’s own immune system is suppressed by medications or various therapies, the Candida yeast can multiply unchecked, leading to oral thrush.

Removable dentures can injure the gums and cause small wounds. Such wounds can favor the development of oral thrush or aphthous ulcers. Dentures should be adjusted to avoid pressure sores.
