built 807 days ago
Candida is not something that you 'catch' like a virus, so what really causes it? It was only recently recognised by the medical community, so the research so far is limited. However, the consensus is leaning towards four or five medical and lifestyle factors that seem to be at fault.

This interesting study compares a specific amino acid sequence found in Candida cell wall protein to a gliadin amino acid sequence that triggers the immune response in celiac disease. The researchers found that the sequences are “identical or highly homologous to known celiac disease-related alpha-gliadin and gamma-gliadin T-cell epitopes,” and PROPOSE THAT CANDIDA IS THE TRIGGER FOR CELIAC DISEASE....Lancet. 2003 Jun 21;361(9375):2152-4.
