This is the fourth video in a series of the five main key indicators of Candida. The focus of this series are 5 Key Indicators of a Candida overgrowth. Be sure to watch the other four videos in this series!

Greetings Eric Bakker, Naturopath from New Zealand. Thanks for coming back. This is the fourth video in the series called Your Key Indicators for Candida.

So the previous ones we've looked at would've been the medication, past medication and hospital kind of treatment, multiple positive symptom matches in different systems, food cravings and now we're doing video four, digestive conditions.

So, digestive complaints are one of the most common reasons we see people in the clinic. 

People with Candida or bacterial problem often have things like, food intolerances or allergies, they're bloating, they'll have gas, they'll have periods of constipation or diarrhea, they'll have digestive discomfort.

They could have sensations you know here on either side of the digestive system, they could have pain here, or pain in their back around their shoulder blades. There could be lots of gas going on, all kinds of weird kind of digestive symptoms.

So this will show you that something's not right with the gut. 

Think carefully. Also, what kind of food you're eating, what kind of food you're craving. You could be craving a lot of sweet foods for example and it could be causing poor fermentation, bloating and gas.

Okay, you could be eating too large of portion size. You could be eating the wrong kind of food. You could be having soda drinks or too much alcohol, or take away food. 

There could be a lot of reasons why you're craving these kinds of foods as well. So think back on video number one, did you go on antibiotics, have you been on the oral contraceptive pill, have you been on steroid drugs, have you been on an acid blocking drug? 

Have you been on X, Y, Z drug for X amount of years? Yes or no, that's a good question to ask yourself.

The second one, do you have multiple possible symptom matches, as I said in the second video? So do you have problems in multiple systems of the body? 

Leading me into three, do you have cravings for certain types of foods? And now the fourth one now again, do you have digestive symptoms as a result of all of those other key things that we spoke about?

So we're going further down the track into the fifth and final video, we're going to talk about mental, emotional symptoms, but digestive problems are a key reason people come to see me, and a key reason people look at the Candida Crusher model, and a key reason people look at the Candida range of supplementation. 

Candida's proved to be excellent for many digestive problems. So you may what to consider stool testing, or go and get checked out to see if you got Candida or a kind of bacterial problem in the stomach or in the intestine itself.

So this is a very powerful key indicator. We'll see you in the fifth and final video of the series. Thanks for tuning in.
