The Candida Diet

Candida albicans is a yeast and a fungus. It exists naturally in small amounts in everyone's intestines. It is also responsible for yeast infections in women. Overgrowth of Candida in the digestive tract or mucous membranes, called candidiasis, was popularized by William Crook, MD in his 1983 book, The Yeast Connection. It is also known as candida-related complex, polysystemic candidiasis, and chronic candidiasis.
