Whats the Difference Between Candida Overgrowth and Candidiasis?
When Candida Albicans overgrows in the intestines due to for example antibiotic use, that is what Hanna Kroeger Healer defines as candida overgrowth. This is often also called dysbiosis, or an imbalance of bowel flora, however, candida overgrowth is specific to this one species of intestinal flora. A healthy person can take a course of antibiotics, perhaps the tenth in their life, and have candida overgrowth, or dysbiosis, and never having replenished the bowel flora. What allows that person to stay healthy can be a variety of things. Probably the most important could be that they have a strong immune system, and strong organs. Others can be energy circulation, excellent command of their emotions, lifelong nutritious food intake (for example eating cruciferous veggies), adequate and regular exercise, a healthy attitude to stress, good sleep, and a balanced lifestyle. The only manifestation of candida overgrowth could be smelly bowel movements, or slightly poor sleep.
