Symptom #9: Yeast Infections
We often think of yeast as something that is used in cooking, but it can also be found in other ways. It is also sometimes in or on the body and yeast populations can grow out of control and form an infection. Our immune systems will usually protect us to a degree, but some people are more prone to yeast infections than others.
Sugar is food for yeast, and more sugar in the blood makes the body a more welcoming place to yeasts. This increases the chance of yeast infections developing, and this can cause a range of symptoms also. People with yeast infections are likely to experience itchiness, as well as redness and sometimes a burning sensation.
