Combatting your pet's Candida albicans health problems
There are about 500 different known microorganisms residing in the digestive tract. Some are good, some are bad. These bacteria are necessary to maintain proper digestion and to build immunities for good health.
Normally, the large intestine hosts a balance of beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus bifidus) and harmful bacteria (Candida albicans). Candida is usually kept in check by the Lactobacillus bacteria. They exist in a natural balance, until something happens to upset that balance, such as antibiotic treatments, stress or poor diet.
An example of this is when antibiotics are given for an infection, the antibiotics not only kill the bad bacteria contributing to the infection but also can kill and clear out the more beneficial benign bacteria in your gut. Candida is unaffected by the antibiotics and readily moves-in and takes over as the good guys die off. As the yeast invades new territory, it entrenches itself, and will continue its relentless advance as long as it remains unopposed.
We all know the importance of antibiotics for a serious infection. The unfortunate side-effect of antibiotics is that they destroy the "good guy" bacteria, at the same time causing GI imbalance.
There are three types of yeast infections:
- Superficial (most common) -- characterized by inflammation of tissue linings, i.e. skin, GI tract, pharynx, upper and lower respiratory tract etc.;
- Locally invasive -- i.e. pneumonia, cystitis, esophagitis, the most common being ulcerations of the intestinal, respiratory or genito-urinary tract;
- Systemic -- an invasive infection, characterized by lesions of the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, lung, brain and other organs.
Candida symptoms are often diagnosed as allergies and commonly seen as:
- Rashes and skin outbreaks in the paws, face/muzzle, ears, under arms, under belly or genital areas.
- Other symptoms include recurring ear infections, eye infections, and bladder or urinary tract infections.
In yet other ways, the yeast toxins can cause fatigue, lethargy, immobility, joint pain and discomfort. The animals start experience severe itching, which leads to endless chewing and biting, hair loss. Yeast is very evasive and resistant of the body's immune system. So the immune system generates inflammation, which provides a defensive wall against the yeast. Normally this painful inflammation resolves with healing, but in the case of Candida, it resists the immune system. Then the inflammation persists, leading to chronic inflammation on the skin. There are many names for such skin inflammation, on both humans and dogs, ranging from eczema to psoriasis. In the intestinal tract, such persistent inflammation can develop into Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Considerations for Candidiasis:
- The inflammatory response must be treated;
- Lactobacillus (probiotics) count needs to be increased in order to keep Candida in check;
- The immune system needs strengthening, which decreases adherence ability;
- Antibiotics, steroids, and other immune-suppressing drugs, along with simple carbohydrate foods, should be avoided;
- Digestive secretions (enzymes) should be increased;
- Nutrient deficiencies should be reversed;
- Liver function should be optimized to increase ability to filter toxins.
