Yeast and depression

Posted by Trotter on December 26, 2008, at 15:44:12

I have had a chronic yeast problems (mild candidiasis) for 20 years. I manage it by avoiding carbohydrates, but I have never cured it. It is claimed chronic candidiasis can cause depression. I have long wondered about this.
I did eat a lot of probiotic yoghurt for a while, and I think that it did eventually improve my mood and sleep a bit. I discontinued the yoghurt because of problems related to consuming so much dairy.
Anyone else linked the two conditions? I am wondering whether I really need to get serious about controlling yeast if it is the underlying cause of my depression. Perhaps take an aggressive probiotic such as Threelac.
BTW, I'm male, so don't need any thrush tips :).
