What Causes That Bloated Feeling?
Most people do not relate bloating (that feeling of fullness accompanied by gas and lower digestive pain and discomfort) with a yeast infection. However, bloating is one of the primary symptoms of an internal yeast infection. Yeast infection bloating is a condition of the digestive tract caused by Candida overgrowth. Bloating might not seem like as urgent a problem as diarrhea, rash, cramps, and fatigue, but bloating is a common and uncomfortable symptom of a potentially serious illness. Candida exists naturally inside of everyone’s body. Its job is to help aid digestion. Candida helps in the digestion of foods and in the process of doing this it produces carbon dioxide which can cause a bloating sensation. When Candida grows out of control, even inside those with healthy immune systems, large amounts of carbon dioxide can be produced. This carbon dioxide, in turn, causes severe and sometimes painful bloating. When Candida grows out of control it can irritate the lining of your stomach
