Candida esophagitis results from an oral yeast infection or fungal infection that starts in the mouth and spreads down the esophagus. The infection gets its name from the yeast, Candida. Yeast infections, including Candida in the throat, affect all ages and sexes. However, those with weak immune systems seem to be at greater risk of developing a Candida throat infection.

Many of us may have not realized that yeast infections are not only infections around our genital areas, but they can also form in other parts of our bodies. The infections affect both sexes and affect children.

How to Recognize Candida Esophagitis

Oral Candidiasis infections are most often recognized from symptoms such as burning and pain in the mouth or throat, fever and oral lesions. Some visible signs include a heavily coated or discolored tongue and cracking around the mouth.

A few other signs that could point to some form of yeast infection are cravings for sugar, alcohol, bread or carbohydrates, fatigue, depression, muscle aches and joint pain.

Those who suffer from Aids, Cancer, Diabetes, Organ transplant patients, and those suffering from thyroid disorders, all have a lowered immune response to infections and suffer greater odds of developing a Candida throat infection. They are also at greater risk of developing oral thrush because of their weekend immune systems.

Treatment

For patients who do not suffer from depressed immune systems, treating Candida esophagitis should be rather easy through prescribed antifungals that can be administered orally or through and injection. However, for those with immune system issues, treatment may be different and lengthier.

Prevention

For someone who has suffered from a yeast infection, prevention methods are very important. The infections are very aggravating and can be painful in the mouth or throat when trying to swallow.

What leads to Candida in the throat is when someone develops Candidiasis in their intestines, which then spread to other areas of the body. The intestines are the major place where the Candida organism reside and can grow out of control, leading to complications throughout the body.

Sometimes treating Candida esophagitis can be tricky, when dealing with issues such as holes in the esophagus, repetitive infections, and the infection spreading to other places in the body. Keeping a good healthy immune system is the key to fighting any infection.

Candida Diet

Those who are suffering from a yeast infection should develop a strict diet, avoiding alcohol, sugar, white flour, refined or processed carbohydrates, fruit, milk and anything containing yeast or mold.

To avoid re-infecting yourself when brushing your teeth, someone who is suffering from a yeast infection in the mouth or throat should disinfect their toothbrushes. Place your toothbrush in 70 percent of alcohol or hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes before and after each brushing.

A step by step diet and protocol can be found here: Restore 3. 

A few natural remedies that may help treat yeast infections in the mouth or throat include grape fruit seed extract, grape seed oil, gentian, caprian tea, homeopathic Candid Silicea and Artemisia. Also, implementing a daily vitamin, iron tablet and acidophilus supplement may help to prevent these dreadful infections.

For anyone who develops symptoms of Candida esophagitis, especially those with a repressed immune system, they should seek medical attention. Try to keep yourself educated on the Candida organism and how it functions within the compromised body.
