There are many different symptoms of candida overgrowth.

So I dug out a an old book I had from Erica White. It’s one of the very first books I had about candida and it’s a goodie. The list provided on page 4 of the book is really comprehensive so here it is plus a few more I’ve added to the list:

Conditions of the skin: athlete’s foot, ringworm, psoriasis, eczema, rashes, itching, easy bruising, acne, fungal nail conditions.

Conditions of the digestive tract: abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, belching, intestinal gas, indigestion or heartburn, mucus in stools, rash or blisters in the mouth (oral thrush), painful oesophagus, rectal irritation, food sensitivity or intolerance, dry mouth or throat, bad breath.

Conditions of the reproductive system: vaginal burning, irritation or discharge (thrush), endometriosis, infertility, period pains, menstrual irregularities, premenstrual tension, breast tenderness, loss of sexual feeling.

Condidtions of urinary tract: frequency, burning, urgency, repeated urinary tract infections.

Conditions of eyes, ears, nose, throat, chest: nasal congestion, post-nasal drip (catarrh or mucus running down the throat), itchy nose, sore throat, laryngitis, loss of voice, cough, recurrent bronchitis, pain or tightness in the chest, wheezing, shortness of breath, asthma, spots in front of the eyes, erratic vision, burning or watery eyes, recurrent ear infections, fluid in the ears, ear pain, deafness, sinusitus, dizziness, loss of balance.
