This document discusses natural support for Candida fungal infections. It identifies several Candida-associated conditions including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, urinary tract infections, and various fungal infections. Common causes of Candida overgrowth include hidden food allergies, antibiotic use, stress, and high sugar intake. While some fungi are harmless, opportunistic fungi like Candida can contribute to long-term health problems. Lifestyle triggers of Candida overgrowth include high stress, medication use, poor health, and diet. The document recommends natural supplements that can be used to support Candida treatment, such as probiotics, botanicals, garlic, and medium chain fats.
