Yeast Symptoms
Yeast over growth is such a difficult condition to diagnose because it can affect each sufferer in a different way, on a different part of their body, in a way that may even be unique to that person.
For this reason, it is often misdiagnosed and the symptom is treated instead of the underlying cause, rather like taking a lozenge for a throat infection! Practically, patients often have to diagnose themselves because the symptoms are so confusing.
The consensus is that many more people are suffering from Yeasty than those few who are diagnosed correctly. You may find yourself suffering from any or all of the following symptoms:
