Candidiasis also known as "candida" is a type of parasitic yeast like
fungus that gets in your intestines, genital tract, throat, and mouth.

immune system and causing an infection called candidiasis. Symptoms
include: constipation, headaches, diarrhea, bad breath,
PMS, memory loss, mood swings,
acne, night sweats, vaginitis, and
depression. |
