As a result, a pregnant woman with
Candida overgrowth is at particular risk as the
alcohol that is produced
by the pathogenic yeasts in her gut would cross the placenta to her unborn child.
Candida overgrowth and invasion happens when normal bacterial flora is killed
by: antibiotics, processed foods, diet high in sugars,
alcohol and yeast, stress, mercury in vaccinations and silver amalgams, pesticides sprayed on non-organic produce, birth control pills - a woman's natural hormonal pattern has more oscillating levels of progesterone and estrogen which is a less desirable environment for yeast overgrowth.
