Hey friend,   Are you dealing with sudden, out-of-control cravings for sugary, starchy, or carby foods? (like, more than normal?)   …What about bloating, a skin rash, or even sinus issues that won’t go away (even though you’re doing everything to eat right and live a healthy lifestyle?)   …Or maybe you’ve found yourself visiting the Monistat aisle at your favorite drugstore a bit more frequently lately, because, umm, something’s going on “down there” again?   If you’ve been experiencing any or all of these symptoms, something called “candida overgrowth” could be to blame.
