A yeast infection can cause bloating because the yeast that is causing your infection will breed in your intestines as well as your vagina. The Candida Albicans organism that is responsible for almost all yeast problems can infect any part of your body, and after the vagina, the next most common place is the intestines.
Candida lives naturally in everyone's intestines, and when it has mutated into a fungus that is when you start suffering from gas and bloating. The fungus is a gas forming organism, and it will also impair your digestion so bloating is an early symptom that you're suffering from an intestinal infection as well as a vaginal infection.
Apart from causing bloating the fungus will start to feed on the walls of your intestines, and this can lead to other problems later. The fungus will eventually perforate the walls of your intestines and then the toxins will begin to enter your bloodstream. This causes the yeast infection to become systemic.
A systemic infection will cause symptoms such as aching muscles and joints that are similar to arthritis. Low energy and concentration problems also arise as your body slowly becomes filled with the toxins. Systemic yeast is a condition that is very rarely diagnosed by any doctor because there is no medical cure for it.
Although it's not a pleasant thing to suffer from, bloating when you're suffering from a bout of Candida overgrowth is a heads-up about your intestinal fungus. Most women don't realize that the infection starts internally and the vaginal symptoms aren't the only symptoms they're suffering from. This means that the fungus will continue to breed in their intestines, and they usually just try and treat the symptoms instead of finding the cause of their bloating.
You have the chance now to completely eliminate the fungus from your body while you have caught it early on. You must strengthen your body's natural defenses so the Candida can no longer mutate into that gas forming fungus that will slowly destroy your health.
Your body's natural defenses such as your immune system and your intestinal flora will protect you from future yeast infections. Only your body can do this, and only your own body can prevent the yeast that lives there from mutating into an infection causing fungus.
No drug is available that can do these things for you. Any drugs that you take will only cause resistant fungus if your body allows the yeast to mutate every time you kill the fungus with an anti fungal drug.
