Hello @ggauerke,
Welcome to Connect. Candida is a fungus typically found in small amounts in the mouth and intestines and on the skin. When Candida begins to grow uncontrollably, it can cause an infection known as candidiasis. You can read more details here:

@ggauerke, would you be able to share a few more details? What symptoms are you experiencing? Since symptoms of candidiasis vary depending on the area of the body that is infected, may I ask what type of candidiasis are you concerned about?

Hi!
In my twenties I had a bad vaginal candida infection and other symptoms such as space’s, gastrointestinal problems,etc. I also had pelvic pain. I gave up sugars and ate a low carb diet for several years and gradually began to heal.. once I started eating sugars and more carbs the pelvic pain came back. Now, in my 60’s, I have constant anal itching and pain inside my left pelvic area upon intercourse. In the past 2 weeks I have returned to a no carb diet and have eliminated the anal itching.. I still feel pain in my left pelvic area but feel like this is healing as well. However, the diet is very difficult to maintain for the long term.
