Comments on: Is Your Raw Fruit Causing Candida Overgrowth?

The way I understand it is candida is dimorphic (meaning it can change its shape and chemical makeup) and when yeast-like, it resides in the intestines and bloodstream. When in its problematic fungal form, the candida can break through the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and cause Leaky Gut Syndrome.

Hi Swayze!

I liked your article, but there was something that confused me. Does candida live in the intestines or the blood? You say it lives in the intestines, but then only talk about its effect in the blood.

Thanks!

Have a beautiful day!

Thanks for this good info, Swayze. I’ll know where to send anyone who asks me “the question.”

I’ve battled CO for years and years so it’s thrilling to finally know the answer, and it isn’t giving up my favorite food – fruit!

Enjoyed yours too, Karmyn! Fruit eaters are so beautiful looking – who could doubt that they know how to eat right?

Thanks for the info – most diets limit fruit…but so easy to be satisfied when grabbing fruit to satisfy hunger and sweet cravings are gone!

Exactly! I remember being quite shocked that I ended up with Candida overgrowth as I was eating no fruit, no starches and no refined sugars.

It made me realize that maybe this diet wasn’t so good for me!
