Did you know that Candida and other fungal overgrowths in the gut can be the root cause of physical pain be it joint pain, muscle pain and even fibromyalgia?
The connection here is often oxalates. Tiny, razor-sharp crystals that your body should be able to process, bind and eliminate. But when the gut is inflamed, fungal organisms are overgrowing, or phase-2 detox (think sulphation or glucuronidation) is overwhelmed, oxalates can build up and trigger deep, persistent, hard-to-explain pain.
In clinic I see this pattern often:
➡️ Candida or fungal imbalance
➡️ Gut inflammation + leaky gut
➡️ Oxalate overload
➡️ Nervous-system irritation, widespread pain, burning sensations, fibromyalgia-like symptoms
When fungal overgrowths are found and fixed and support an oxalate detox plan is implemented pain symptoms can shift dramatically.
