I have all the symptoms of a Candida albicans overgrowth. I used to have a very bad, high sugar diet, in fact, was dependent on sugar and believe this is the cause of the IBS. I have read many books and websites on it, and IBS is a symptom of the overgrowth - if I eat any refined sugar I blow up like a lil bloated balloon, and my wind gets worse! Yeast does the same thing too! I get affected big time by environmental factors like petrol/gas, dampness, mould and when the weather is bad!
I also suffer with the fatigue feelings, like walking through treacle, which is horrible. I have very little energy and am down to 7st 8lbs, which is pretty light for my height, but sugar was a great way for me to keep the weight on! Hey ho!
Hope thats of some help xx
