If you're dealing with frustrating gut symptoms that never seem to go away, there’s a good chance Candida might be playing a role, and that treating it could help you vastly improve your health.

I’ve treated well over one thousand cases of Candida overgrowth. In this video, I’ll walk you through the top 7 gut-related symptoms of Candida overgrowth, a condition we treat every day, and explain how you can start addressing the root of the problem.

👉I’ve also created a workshop that literally explains everything about Candida, including all of the things I didn’t have time for in this video, such as other possible symptoms, as well as specific details for testing and treating Candida. You can learn more about it by clicking the link here.

The top 7 symptoms of a Candida overgrowth:

1. Gas and Bloating

If you are frequently bloated after eating—or even wake up bloated—this could be due to Candida fermenting food in your gut. It produces gases that your body can’t absorb well, leading to uncomfortable pressure and swelling. This is one of the most common signs we see in people with a Candida overgrowth.

2. Constipation or Diarrhea

Candida disrupts the healthy balance of bacteria in your digestive system. This imbalance can either slow your digestion to a crawl or speed it up too much, leaving you with frequent constipation, diarrhea, or an unpredictable mix of both.

3. Abdominal Discomfort

Many people describe a vague, persistent discomfort or even pain in the belly. Candida overgrowth irritates the lining of the gut, contributing to inflammation and that “off” feeling that’s hard to describe—but impossible to ignore. And sometimes it’s even really severe pain that you think must be something else, but doctors can’t find anything else. I’ve seen this happen many times.

4. Food Reactions

Have you noticed your body reacting to more and more foods? Candida overgrowth can increase intestinal permeability—also known as “leaky gut”. This can lead to problems breaking down lots of different kinds of foods, even foods that would otherwise normally be really healthy foods.

5. Fatigue

It’s not normal to feel wiped out. If you do, Candida could be affecting your ability to digest and absorb nutrients. The toxins it releases also place a burden on your body, leaving you drained instead of energized. And this feeling might be present throughout your day.

6. Cravings for Sugar and Carbs

Candida feeds on sugar. One of the more common signs of overgrowth is strong, persistent cravings for sweets, bread, pasta, or alcohol. These cravings aren’t just willpower issues—they may be a sign that your gut is out of balance and Candida is actually telling you to eat sugar.

7. Brain Fog and Difficulty Concentrating

Though it starts in the gut, Candida’s effects reach all the way to your brain. Many people report difficulty focusing, poor memory, or feeling mentally “cloudy.” Once we begin addressing Candida in the gut, you’ll experience a huge improvement in your brain fog.

🎯 If you experience any of these symptoms, that’s why I created a free training to help you take the next step. It’s designed to give you the knowledge and tools to treat the root cause of your Candida symptoms and start feeling like yourself again. Just click the link here.
