Why do my candida symptoms become worse when Ive been stressed?
One of the effects of stress is to trigger the release of the body’s sugar stores into the bloodstream, and this gives your resident candida a wonderful picnic! If stress (past or present) is playing a part in your life, it could be helpful to consider a laboratory test (based on saliva samples collected at home) to investigate the levels and patterns of behaviour of your adrenal stress hormones, so that you can then receive appropriate nutritional advice to support and correct the situation. Unfortunately, once the adrenal glands have been ‘over-stretched’ by having to cope with stressful circumstances, they remain over-stretched even when the circumstances have gone away, but an appropriate nutritional programme can help to put them right – and this can be a major step in your progress to overcome candida. Information about laboratory tests is available through www.nutritionhelp.com.
