An overgrowth of candida has been found to be at the root of many health problems, from chronic fatigue and digestive disorders to skin conditions and allergies.

Ricki Heller (with functional nutritionist Andrea Nakayama) offers a complete exploration of this condition and an expansive approach for anyone wishing to follow an anti-candida diet." .
