The Symptoms and Stages of Candidiasis
Candida mimics the symptoms another disease known as Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease and the related disorder gluten intolerance, along with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome display many of the same symptoms as Candida and may even be related. Like Celiac Disease, CFS and gluten intolerance, the symptoms of Candidiasis are many, varied, and often non-specific. The following is a list of the reported symptoms of Candida:
- Chronic fatigue

- Fungus on the fingernails or toenails
- Urinary infections
- Hair loss
- Vision Problems
- Rashes inside the ears
- Rashes around the groin area
- Itching, red eyes
- Anal or vaginal itching
- Dizziness
- Headaches
- Cold sweats and/or night sweats
- Flu-like symptoms
- Muscle and joint pain
- Sore throat
- Low grade fever
- Numbness in hands or feet
- Asthma
- Chronic sinusitis
- Allergies
- Irritability

The Stages of Candida
The second stage of Candida involves more generalized symptoms. Frequent headaches, muscle aches, joint pain, and extreme fatigue are common during this stage. Remember, your body is literally fighting to survive and the second stage symbolizes the effects of this struggle.
The third stage of Candida finds the sufferer emotionally struggling with an undiagnosed condition. Depression, sleep disorders, and panic attacks are common during this stage. Sufferers often think they are losing their minds.
The fourth stage involves the shutdown of various bodily systems. At this stage, the endocrine system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, and the respiratory system are all effected and are experiencing damage.
The Fifth Stage of Candida seems inevitable at this point: rampant systemic Candidiasis is 100% fatal unless it is diagnosed early enough to kill the yeast overgrowth and regenerate the immune system.

Candida tends to attack in stages. Research studies, though still in their infancy, have reported the systematic changes that take place as Candida takes over the body. Remember the herbalist that told me that the bacteria were \"eating (me) out\"? That is, almost literally, what Candida does. Once the intestinal and digestive tract is conquered, these opportunistic bacteria continue feeding on the rest of the body. The first stage of Candida generally affects the digestive tract and mucous membranes. At this stage, sufferers report frequent urinary and vaginal yeast infections, increased respiratory tract infections, rashes and sensitivities and allergic reactions to common environmental contaminants. The frequent infections that occur during the first stage are often treated with antibiotics that actually make the problem worse.
