Constant sugar cravings could mean your biochemistry is out of whack. In fact, if you consistently crave bread, sugar, fruits, dairy or alcohol like beer and sugary white wine your body may be an unwitting host to an overgrowth of yeast.
If your food cravings are driven by an overgrowth of yeast living in your intestines, those food cravings are not your own! The yeast actually begins to drive your appetite in order go have sugar as its most precious and important source. And, that\\\'s not all - yeast in overgrowth mode can detox up to 180 different chemicals into your body capable of making you feel dizzy and fatigued, shutting down your thyroid, throwing your hormones off balance, and causing you to crave sugar and alcohol and put on weight.
You may be new to this information and even the recognition that you\\\'re food cravings are not your own but Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) is nothing new; it’s been around for decades, ever since we began to use antibiotics in our society. Yeast itself, a cousin to molds, has grown in human bodies since Adam and Eve. Candida albicans is the main yeast in the human body. It lives there happily enough, kept in check by beneficial bacteria in the intestines. These bacteria make vitamins and help digest excess sugar that gets past the small intestine. A very special group of bacteria make lactic acid, which protects the gut and vagina against yeast.
Getting Relief
Unfortunately, the answer for yeast overgrowth does not lie in a pill as many women have found out when they go to their doctor. Even if the doctor does recognize yeast overgrowth the most common treatment recommended is a week or two or antifungal medications. As one client, who is a chemist remarked to me that she is very concerned about taking fluoride compounds like Diflucan, the most well known antifungal medication. Doctors who are too dependent on prescriptive medicine don’t understand that yeast overgrowth requires a multi-pronged approach.
Diet: avoid sugar, wheat and dairy as well as fermented foods, and alcohol.
Probiotics (good bacteria): the best one is a soil-based probiotic such as Flora ReVive
Therapeutic doses of Dr. Dean’s Pico Silver as an antifungal plus ReMag and ReMyte Minerals as well as ReAline to detox the acetaldehyde created by yeast toxins
Exercise to move the lymph circulation that clears toxins from the body.
Stress release to reduce the amount of natural cortisol that creates yeast overgrowth.
