What Can You Do to Fight a Systemic Yeast Infection?

Everyone has yeast called Candida albicans in their intestinal tracts. If we have a healthy immune system and plenty of good bacteria present, they will keep this fungus under control. If, for some reason, the balance of good bacteria gets out of whack, the Candida albicans can invade the entire body. When it does, you may see symptoms such as a vaginal yeast infection or thrush. If the case becomes severe, it can even spread to the whole body as a systemic yeast infection.
