Candida Yeast Infection Leaky Gut, Irritable Bowel and Food Allergies
The signs and
symptoms or Leaky Gut Syndrome are very similar to those of Candida Overgrowth
and intestinal dysbiosis. This Syndrome indicates
an advanced degeneration of the overall health and well being of the effected
person. Like all disease there are beginning signs and symptoms which can progress
to more complicated issues s
uch
as
UC (ulcerative
colitis), CD (Crohn's disease) and
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) all commonly referred to as called IBD (inflammatory
bowel disease). Long term untreated
conditions contribute to Lupus, Diabetes and RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis which are
immune function disruptions caused by chronic intestinal inflammation.(1)
Early onset Leaky Gut symptoms:
- Abnormal digestive
problems (gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation) called irritable bowel
syndrome (IBS).
- Exhaustion, Chronic
fatigue
- Mental fogginess, emotional ups and downs, ADHD, ADD, bipolar
- Food allergies or food
intolerances (numerous symptoms)
- Skin issues such as
red, dry, rash, eczema, acne, psoriasis
Chronic, long term, more serious Leaky Gut symptoms:
- Respiratory problems like asthma, sinus
headaches, daily mucus.
- Muscle stiffness, soreness, pain, swelling and
inflammation, fibromyalgia.
- Joint pain, arthritis, gout.
- Celiac disease, Lupus, Crohn's disease,
Ulcerative Colitis,
Diabetes

FOOD ALLERGY symptoms
ranked from mild to severe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A specific food
triggers these reactions within 24 hours of eating.
Most food
allergy is caused by leaky gut
. If you have any of these reactions,
consider our IgG4+IgA specific food allergy test. (Not usually covered by
your insurance, so plan to pay out of pocket). But it will give you a
useful list of (1) Foods you can eat freely, (2) Foods you can eat
sparingly, and (3) Foods you should never eat - at least until you heal
the
leaky gut.
MILD ALLERGY means the
symptoms you experience tend to be uncomfortable but not severe, such as:
- wheezing
- mucus: throat clearing or
runny nose
- red, itchy or watery eyes
- tingling (anywhere but usually in or
around the mouth, chin, cheeks)
- red or warm flush (anywhere but
usually the face or chest)
- physical fatigue (extending to
exhaustion)
- recurring itch
- mental fatigue (brain fog)
MODERATE means more
persistent, more frequent, lasts longer or more intense of any above plus
these:
- hives (itchy, red elevated welts or
flat red splotches)
- constipation and/or diarrhea (loose
stool)
- skin rash or red patches (eczema)
- light-headed-ness, dizzy, spaced out
- mild breathing difficulties
- swelling of the lips or face
- headache
- forehead or behind the eyes pain
- nausea, upset stomach
- feel like or actual vomiting
SEVERE means
a reaction known as anaphylaxis. If someone develops any of these conditions,
do not hesitate to seek immediate or emergency medical treatment:
- swelling or closing of the throat
- shortness or intense breathing
troubles
- chest tightness,
- rapid or abnormal pulse
- drop or elevation of blood pressure
- heart palpitations
- loss of consciousness
- break out into a sweat

The intestinal epithelium provides the largest interface between the external
environment and the host, and is thus a crucial regulation site of innate and
adaptive immunity. Zonulin is one of the few known physiological mediators of
paracellular intestinal permeability. It was found upregulated in different
immune diseases like
Celiac disease
and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Recently,
human zonulin ... is a hemoglobin-binding protein with immunomodulatory
properties. Its gene harbors a common polymorphism ... shown to be
overrepresented in different immune diseases like
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Systemic
Lupus
and has also been found to be more frequent in patients with IBD (UC
and CD) than in healthy controls. KEYWORDS: crohn's disease; haptoglobin;
inflammatory bowel disease; intestinal barrier; intestinal permeability;
