The most common causes of candida overgrowth are
antibiotics, steroids, over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs,
oral contraceptives, mercury dental fillings, drugs or alcohol, chlorinated drinking water, meat or dairy products from animals
fed antibiotics, and diets full of too much sugar and refined and processed foods.
These include a high sugar diet, which
feed candida and other yeasts, excessive
oral antibiotic usage, which wipes out friendly bacteria, and too many chemicals in foods which do the same.
